As many of you will know, Barclays overhauled its DIY investment platform Smart Investor this week, which has resulted in customers saying they cannot log into their accounts, are receiving error messages and are missing transactions.

To see comparisons of Barclays Smart Investor against other platforms see other our recent article.

On this week's Companies & Markets podcast there are some projections on the future shape of television by Megan Boxall, an explanation of what went wrong for two outsourcers from Tom Dines and updates on two of Simon Thompson's specials by the man himself. Listen to the show here.
