The Business: British retail's Christmas bonanza

On this week's Business podcast, Aditya Chakrabortty is joined by Dan Roberts and Deborah Hargreaves to discuss a bumper Christmas period for many of Britain's retail giants. Our confidence may have returned, but is there a downside to our rampant spending?

Also in the podcast, Tim Webb answers our questions about the state of Britain's gas supplies. Crisis? What crisis?

Finally, we go downtown in Motown and hear from Andrew Clark at the Detroit Motor Show about the health of the US car industry.

We'll have a special programme on bankers' bonuses next week, but in the meantime, have a listen, post your comments on the blog below, and subscribe to us on iTunes.
