Reports on electric cars and digital-only banks.

Angela, Gloria and Julia look at the cutting edge technology designed to make our lives easier, but which, some viewers are telling us, has ended up making things harder. 

As their brand new series of investigations continues, Angela Rippon, Gloria Hunniford and Julia Somerville look at the cutting edge technology designed to make our lives easier, but which, some viewers are telling us, has ended up making things harder. Angela gets behind the wheel of an electric car, but while it’s a thumbs up for the  vehicles themselves, can the same be said for the network of charging points meant to support them? And, as an increasing number of digital-only banks spring up in the place of the traditional High Street branches, one man tells us the extraordinary story of how, when things went wrong, the faceless nature of banking online left him in dire straits. Plus plenty of tips and advice from our experts at the Pop-Up Shop.
