Summary

Felicity Hannah asks whether CO2 shortages could lead to a pint shortage. The boss of a brewery joins our Friday panel to discuss that, along with the Chancellor’s interview with our Economics Editor.

Pokémon trading cards have soared in value since the pandemic, attracting new fans, investors and thieves. We hear from one specialist shop, which estimates it has lost at least £60,000 worth of stock.

And we head to CinemaCon in Las Vegas to ask: with streaming still strong and cinema attendance still below pre-pandemic levels, how healthy is the film industry really?
