On a winter's night in 1974, a crime took place that would obsess the nation.

It was an extraordinary news story.

The story of an aristocrat, Lord Lucan, who's said to have killed the family Nanny,

mistaking her for his wife, then somehow just disappeared.

One of the great mysteries in English criminal history. We're still looking for

Lucan. It's honestly one of the most powerful stories of my lifetime. I'm Alex Fontunzelman. This is

the Lucan Obsession. Listen on BBC Sounds. BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts. Hello, welcome to the

first Moneybox Live podcast of

2024. It is very easy to get very carried away by the excitement of a brand new year.

It can feel like a new year, new you.

There's so much potential for change and improvement, but then...

Then reality can kick in and kick hard.

And not just for plans like going to the gym.

Around one in three of us will have made a financial resolution this year,

me included. But one estimate is that almost 20% of us won't even make it to the end of this

week. So today's Moneybox Live is like an intervention. We'll ask how to make financial resolutions

more effective and how to make them stick. And joining me today to respond to your

messages, questions and good intentions are my New Year experts. I'm joined by the behavioural and

data scientist Professor Pragya Agarwal, visiting professor and visiting fellow at

Loughborough University and Oxford University, by Laura Souter, head of personal finance at

AJ Bell, and by the consumer rights expert Souter, head of personal finance at A.J. Bell, and by the

consumer rights expert, Martin James. Panel, good afternoon and happy new year.
