The Bigger Picture: Qualifications in a complex economy, Brexit in danger & Ukraine six months on
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University looks at the importance of qualifications in an increasingly complex economy, so different from that of students' parents' generation and earlier. He discusses why relatively little advantage has so far been taken of the UK leaving the EU and remarks that big changes often come out of a time of crisis. And, six months on, he looks Ukraine and how Russia has lost ground since mid-March, wiping out its military's high reputation with the conflict coming more to resemble WW1's trench warfare.

The Business of Film: Fisherman's Friends 2, The Saphead & Official Competition
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the UK box office chart, still led by Nope. Fisherman's Friends: One And All, James found a frequently funny and superior sequel but it only managed #6 with £660,000. For his Blu-Ray of the week he chose the 1920 silent The Saphead, a romantic tragedy with Buster Keaton's first feature appearance and a host of wonderful extras. On in cinemas and on Curzon Home Cinema, James loved the thought-provoking, film-related comedy Official Competition with Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.

The Business of Film: Nope, Man Without A Star & Prey
James Cameron-Wilson reflects on the UK box office down for the 3rd week with a loss of 26%. Jordan Peele's "deliciously strange" Nope, starring Daniel Kaluuya, is at #1 with a take of £1.9m. James's DVD of the week is the Blu-Ray release of King Vidor's 1955 Western Man Without A Star, starring Kirk Douglas. And on Disney+ he found Prey a feminist action thriller which, although better than the rest of the franchise, ultimately just becomes another Predator film.

The Bigger Picture: A-levels, Inflation & Who Is Governing Britain?
As the first proper A-level results arrive since 2019, political commentator Mike Indian explains how education must be the answer to solving the UK's productivity puzzle. In the wake of the latest rise in inflation, he says that targeted support and state intervention will be needed to get things back onto an even keel. And with the Tory leadership contest continuing, he asks where the big, transformative ideas are and wonders if an absent Boris Johnson is simply abrogating responsibility.
