BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Home care, Hot puddings, Polish fashion

Home care visits, sales of hot puddings, Polish fashion.

New figures out today about home care in England and Wales. Our enduring passion for hot puddings and desserts. The Polish fashion chain that's just opened its doors in the UK.

We report exclusively on new figures out today about the state of home care in England and Wales.
Home care is normally provided through local authorities to elderly, sick and vulnerable people who can't manage on their own.
We talk to the not-for-profit investigative organisation, Corporate Watch, who did the research.
The investigation looks at how councils monitor care in people's homes and why some local authorities aren't intervening when visits are late or cut short.

The Great British Bake Off is now back in full swing on TV and still full of the cakes, pies and puddings that's made it essential viewing for millions of people.
Despite endless warning about sugar and fat, sales of hot desserts are booming and are now worth £300m in the UK market.
Our reporter examines what lies behind our enduring passion for puddings.
She looks at which hot desserts are selling particularly well in the shops and visits one of London's most popular restaurants for traditional British puddings.

We look at the new occupants of the former BHS flagship store on Oxford Street in London. 
Reserved is Poland's largest fashion chain and has just opened its first UK shop. The company spent £50 million refurbishing the old BHS store and the supermodel Kate Moss is fronting their latest campaign. 
We speak to shoppers who've been inside the new store and find out from market research company, Mintel, who are their main competitors.

Presenter: Shari Vahl

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
