The Business of Film: The Addams Family 2, The Guilty, I Never Cry, Whistle Down The Wind
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office chart, still dominated by A Time To Die, now the most successful Bond film ever. His heart sinks at the advent of The Addams Family 2 but admires Antoine Fuqua's The Guilty with Jake Gyllenhaal on Netflix and the Polish-Irish drama I Never Cry. And, taking a trip down memory lane, he revisits the 1961 film Whistle Down the Wind with Hayley Mills, the first movie to be directed by Bryan Forbes.

The Bigger Picture: Northern Ireland Protocol, Boris's party speech, Sunak's Budget & NHS waiting lists
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the reported plans to amend the Northern Ireland Protocol and considers whether they could solve the problem. He reviews Boris Johnson's party conference speech ("brief and insubstantial") and wonders where the strategic direction of the government is. He looks forward to the Chancellor's autumn Budget ahead of what might be a winter of discontent. And in the light of the waiting list of people in England waiting for hospital treatment growing to 5.7m, he ponders where the plan is to ameliorate the situtation.

This Is Money: From trackers to 10 year fixes - Mortgage war continues to spell record low rates
With inflation on the rise, homeowners nearing the end of their mortgage deal could be tempted to lock in for longer – especially with murmurs of a base rate rise. It comes as rates continue to fall, even on tracker deals. What are the pros and cons on a two, five and even a 10 year fix, and does the flexibility of a tracker mean it could be a worthy option to consider? Lee Boyce, Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss what those remortgaging and home buyers need to consider when getting a new home loan. And landlords haven't been left behind in the mortgage battle either. There is now a sub-1 per cent buy-to-let mortgage rate – and sticking with the property theme, yet another huge monthly bump for prices. Elsewhere, should you sell old Premium Bonds to buy a new set for 'better luck' and just how much have lockdown savers poured into the NS&I product? Lastly, how about a career change as an… HGV driver? We look at what salaries are on offer and how to train as a lorry driver.

The Bigger Picture: Whither or wither Britain? The UK in the Space Race. Inequality in blue plaques
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University asks whether Britain is to become a high-wage, high-skill globally-competing nation or become unsustainably mired in debt and stagflation. He discussed the plans for a "Galactic Britain" and wonders what it might mean for the economy. And he looks at a study which shows that only 2% of blue plaques in London commemorate black people.
