Peter White looks at the real Sheriff of Nottingham's plans to cash in on the latest Robin Hood film to boost the local economy and why Iceland's volcano has ignited its tourism.

Peter White finds out how the real Sheriff of Nottingham plans to cash in on the latest Robin Hood film to boost the local economy. So prepare to don your green tights and enjoy medieval banquets and forest tours.

Plus, we'll examine in detail one promise made by our new coalition government. A new 'per flight duty' will replace 'air passenger duty', but how will it affect passengers and airlines?

And we'll bring you poet Ian McMillan's lament to the demise of that most magical musical machine - the juke box.

Also, the Icelandic volcano is still erupting - but has this dramatic event helped or hindered tourism and Iceland's beleaguered economy?
