The Business of Film: Pathaan, Plane, The Fabelmans & The Wandering Earth 2
James Cameron-Wilson on the UK box office, up 18% week-on-week. With Avatar 2 still #1, Hindi film Pathaan is #2 while #3 is Gerard Butler thriller Plane, which James found gripping and great fun. Steven Spielberg's semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans is #4, which James thought playful and funny, with a dark undertone. Chinese film The Wandering Earth 2 makes #9 while James also enjoyed Netflix's Bank of Dave about Dave Fishwick taking on the banking establishment, despite it being cliche-ridden.

The Bigger Picture: Why Rishi Sunak needs to be more ruthless
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the political lie of the land after Rishi Sunak's first 100 days as Prime Minister. While believing he did the right thing when it came to Nadhim Zahawi, Mike feels that the Prime Minister needs to show more ruthlessness when it comes to his own party. As for the country as a whole, the current batch of strikes simply feed into the picture that nothing in Britain is working as it should.

The Bigger Picture: Where is Brexit's golden age, 200 years of housing trends & 100 years of the BBC
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University wonders where and what are the benefits of Brexit, three years after the UK left the European Union. He looks at a fascinating set of numbers analysing housing trends over the past two hundred years. And, 100 years since the founding of the BBC, he explains why he admires the BBC, despite – or because of – its ability to irritate all sides equally at once.

The Business of Film: M3GAN, Babylon, A Man Called Otto, Empire of Light & Tár
James Cameron-Wilson canters through a b.o. down 33%. #2 is comic thriller M3GAN about a robotic doll which James thought funny and thought-provoking. Babylon, fun but way too long is doing poorly at #3 while Empire of Light, with Sam Mendes directing his own script is #7, depsite Olivia Coleman, Colin Firth and Toby Jones. James loved it, being in seventh heaven, as he was with Tár at #8 with Cate Blanchett playing a leading conductor. James found it mind-blowingly eloquent and that it made him "proud to be human".

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: My Portfolio with Lord Lee — The long view (REPLAY)
Simon Rose takes a well-earned break this week, so we bring you his interview with Lord Lee, author of 'How to Make a Million Slowly', as recorded nearly six years ago. At that time, 1 February 2017, it had been an intriguing start to the year for investors with sterling hitting new lows, driving the stockmarket to a record high. Lord Lee cautioned that forecasting the future direction of markets is a tricky business but for investors who maintain a long term view, the importance of growing dividends and hard assets continues to stand out.
