This Is Money: Do you really want your pension invested in risky unlisted companies?
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is looking for more risk to be taken in pensions - is this right? And should they not first sort out the estimated ten million errors in state pension records? Meanwhile one million people will be paying an additional £5,000 per annum on mortgage payments: could the Bank of England have done more? And finally - would Britain be safer if only women were allowed to drive?

The Hypnotist: Pregnancy Anxiety Hypnosis
This episode originated from a woman being informed, after the event, that a scan during pregnancy carried a very low possibility (1:54,000) of increased risk of cancer for her or her unborn child. The mind often finds it difficult to cope with situations like these, and intrusive, compulsive negative imagination can take over. Adam Cox seeks to put these thoughts into perspective, encouraging a more positive view of present and future while accepting that what's done is done. If something irrational is gnawing away inside you about something that's happened or that you've heard, this episode could be of some help.

The Bigger Picture: Mickey Mouse degrees, the necessity for nuclear power & the latest banking scandal
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University thinks the PM and other politicians should avoid playing the central planner and let the increasingly dynamic education market decide which degrees are worthwhile. He feels it obvious that Britain must adopt Small Modular Reactors but wonders if politicians have the guts in the face of vocal opposition. And he is gravely concerned about the threat to free speech if banks are allowed to cancel the accounts of those whose views they disagree with.

The Business of Film: Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Name Me Lawand & Run Rabbit Run

The Business of Film: Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Name Me Lawand & Run Rabbit Run
James Cameron-Wilson eulogises Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, which has not only sent the UK box office up 58% WOW (and 80% YOY), but has single-handedly rescued the reputation of the blockbuster. Exciting, funny and with excellent acting throughout, the #1 film is the highlight of a dreadful summer and an action movie even those who usually spurn them might enjoy. Not so the documentary Name Me Lawand at #35, which James felt was poorly made. He was no more enthusiastic about horror thriller Run Rabbit Run on Netflix.

Gadgets & Gizmos: $190,000 for a useless iPhone, AI to annoy cold callers & music for cows
Steve Caplin marvels at the $190,000 paid for an original, unopened iphone, at AI helping conquer the world record for juggling and defeating cold callers, at a laser device to rid Western Australia of feral cats, at a music system to keep cows grazing in the right place, at a system to reduce methane in cow dung – that appears utterly impractical, at a new way of charging electric cars that might mean they can enter the 24hr Le Mans race, at a crowd-funded portable hammock, at a device to counter car theft and at the possibility that humans could soon grow new teeth, much like sharks.

She discusses the sectors that have been hardest hit – and now are benefitting most – from inflation turning downwards, such as housebuilders, consumer-facing stocks and companies in the hospitality sector.

Thought for the Week: Monopolies are not the answer
With aggregate annual licence fee income of £3.7 billion, a degree of self-interest and parochialism which permeates its coverage, and swiftly-reducing interest from young people, the BBC's 100th anniversary poses more questions than answers. Meanwhile the National Health Service, celebrating its 75th anniversary, spends over £158 billion a year in England alone: but still struggles with record waiting times and dismal GP service to patients — yet more evidence of the dysfunctionality of quango monopolies.
