Inspired by these thoughts, he explores how do use that store of material tucked away but little used to find some real value — some useful blue sky thinking for the Christmas break!

The Business of Film: Violent Night & The Cat and the Canary
James Cameron-Wilson analyses the UK box office, down another 33%, with Matilda the Musical still #1. Seasonal horror film Violent Night enters at #3 which "puts the X into Xmas". To his surprise, James found it outrageously funny but also touching. He also praises the Blu-Ray restoration of the 1939 horror comedy The Cat and the Canary, starring Bob Hope, a view with which Simon concurs.

The Bigger Picture: Progress report on the PM, government U-turns & divisions in the SNP
Politicial commentator Mike Indian says that PM Rishi Sunak should not get bogged down in detail, but work out what to concentrate on and make himself visible where it counts. He discusses government U-turns and what the Chester by-election means for Labour, suggesting it reinforces the idea that the party will form the next government. With Stephen Flynn the new SNP leader in Westminster, does this mean that Nicola Sturgeon's days are now effectively numbered?

Gadgets & Gizmos: Wheeled suitcases, hydrogen bikes, electronic noses & brain chips
Tech buff Steve Caplin finds an answer to Simon Rose's earlier question about who invented the wheeled suitcase. There's a pilot-it-yourselves VTOL sightseeing plane, a hydrogen-powered commuter bike and supercar, an electronic nose to detect prostate cancer, a toilet sensor to identify cholera outbreaks, a gel to kill harmful bacteria, nuclear-reactor robots to repair the 3,000 malfunctioning satellites, Elon Musk's brain chip and Apple allowing people in the UK to repair their own phones. Steve says, "Don't even think about it."

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The economics of football clubs
With the World Cup in full flow and Manchester United up for sale, Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the economics of football clubs. Although Man United was worth $78m when it floated in 1991 and is, in theory, set to sell for upwards of $4bn, for investors of late it, and every other club, has proved a poor investment. Russ explains how modern football financing works, pointing out that, in good times, all the money seems to go to the talent.

Thought for the Week: Sharing Love
Last week's Census announcement, that the population of those in England and Wales who identify as Christian has fallen below 50% for the first time in 1,500 years, contrasts strongly with the fact that the secular culture which surrounds us is more deeply embedded than ever with the values that Jesus taught — arguably more so than the Church itself — to love our neighbours as ourselves. How did the Church get left behind, and what should it learn from those who are not its members? Background music: 'Not Forgotten' by Dan Lebowitz

The Hypnotist: The Anxiety Mirage
This episode is all about avoiding avoidance: helping to tackle the sense of retreat brought on by anxiety. Returning to work after a period of illness is just one such challenge — but challenges of all kinds can cause inaction. Adam Cox shows how the best way to approach such fears is to treat physical anxiety as a reason to take action, not to avoid it. We soon discover that anxiety is indeed a mirage, which melts away in front of action.
