EU Travel; Commodore Computer and Digital Detox; eBay at 30

Available for over a year

Are you heading to the EU soon? Well from the 12th of October it could feel very different for British passport holders at EU border control. It’s because the EU is rolling out its long-delayed ‘entry-exit system’ - a high-tech border control scheme that replaces the old system of stamping passports. The aim is to tackle crime, prevent overstaying, and tighten checks on non-EU visitors. Simon Calder gives us the full run down of what to expect. Commodore, a name from computing’s golden age of the 80s and 90s, is making headlines once again after being brought by a fan-led consortium who have big plans for the brand. The Commodore C64 remains the best-selling desktop computer of all time - Guinness World Records say 12.5 million of them were sold between 1982 and 1994, before the company went bankrupt. We’ll be talking to the new CEO of Commodore, and hearing about their plans to be a digital detox brand. And eBay is turning 30 soon, but how has it changed how we buy and sell, and what impact has that had on the high street? Presenter – Peter White Producer – Dave James
