Tight Christmas
How is the cost-of-living crisis impacting the high street in the run-up to Christmas?
With retail sales for November dropping, Amir hears from businesses in March and Ely about whether the cost-of-living crisis is affecting Christmas trading. Reporter Johnny visits a dance shool in the Deepings ahead of this weekend's Strictly final. Listeners share their stories of competing in finals. Mark Walsh reviews the latest films at the cinema. And the music and memories of December 1978 and 1997 feature in The Rewind.
