The 'stolen' European Cup, more stories from our Volcano heroes, and will Blackpool's Premiership promotion boost its economy?

In 1982 the European Cup was stolen. This has NEVER been reported - until now - and we'll bring you the full, exclusive and almost unbelievable story.

Promotion of Blackpool's football team to the Premiership is worth an estimated £90 million to the club. But will the wider local economy benefit too? We'll find out how the council will capitalise on this boost to the town.

Plus a massive regeneration strategy is ready underway in Blackpool - but are the plans too grand and expensive for this current period of austerity?
