We talk with the Scottish Watches Gang all things Tudor Black Bay Blue release and then we hunt down the weird and wonderful from Ali Express and Vincero, and show no mercy. Montblanc get a mention for losing parts of Europe with their "Brexit Watch" and Tag Heuer get the Tone Deaf Award for the week and finally we have a "cant unsee" from Patek. I am sure Rolex get a mention somewhere other than here for click bait too. Enjoy the show    

How best can work and life return to normal post-Covid? On the one hand, churches, pubs,  restaurants and beauty salons have reopened and the Westminster government is slowly urging people to return to their workplaces. Gyms, swimming pools and cinemas will all reopen in the coming days. On the other hand, the recent announcement of compulsory wearing of face-masks in shops, and a slew of new restrictions and procedures at all venues, seem to signal that the ‘new normal’ will be very different to pre-pandemic life.   Ministers and others argue that these measures, including wearing masks, both protect others and reassure people that getting out again is safe. But others counter that such measures are more likely to make people worry, reinforcing a sense that we should be fearful about interactions with other people in public.   Clearly, many do still fear a return to normal. Many pubs and restaurants have been busy in the weeks after reopening, and the tragic registers of daily deaths and new infections are trending down. But broader economic indicators are sluggish, at best. Public transport use remains at a fraction of pre-pandemic levels, and many city centres and workplaces are deserted. It seems that a widespread culture of fear is a real barrier to normal life returning – despite the prospect of mass unemployment if everyday life, and the economy, stays in suspended animation. The ferocity of the polarised discussion in relation to mask-wearing also suggests that fear is now a major factor in society.   Of course, there are positive indicators too. Many towns and cities have come alive with al fresco dining. Barbers chat about the return of football with punters. Some people are heading off to warmer climes on holiday, and lots of families and friends are starting to meet each other once more. But theatres, football grounds and concert halls are not allowed to open to the public, the government continues to advise against gatherings, and water-cooler conversations and the after-work drink seem a long way off. Amid these uncertainties, will normality ever return? Many argue we will have to learn to live with the ‘new normal’, accepting facemasks, elbow-bumps, and under-filled pubs. Some even celebrate it, arguing that office life is dreary compared with the extra time to spend with family and friends that working from home allows. Some employers, perhaps eyeing cost-savings on offices, are preparing to make working from home permanent. What’s more, the avoidance of city centres has reinvigorated many suburbs.   But there is a fine line between taking sensible precautions and forgetting what real sociability means. Chance encounters, spontaneity, rubbing shoulders with fellow citizens are all aspects of normal social life that together form the intangible feeling of genuine community.   Do we need to make a more full-throated case for a return to normal life, or is this too risky when the virus still causes deaths across the world? Should we celebrate the chance to re-evaluate social norms and working practices, or do we risk leading narrower, more parochial lives? What exactly has been missing during the lockdown – and why should we care?   SPEAKERS Dr Clare Geradamedical director, NHS Practitioner Health Programme; former chair, Royal College of General Practitioners   Ben Habibfounder and CEO, First Property Group PLC; chairman, Brexit Watch; organiser, UnLocked; former Brexit Party MEP (2019 – 2020)   Norman Lewistechnology and innovation consultant; former director, PWC   Rebecca Loweinvestment company research director; former director, FREER; co-founder, Radical   Anne-Elisabeth Moutetcolumnist, Telegraph; vice-president, Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau (JJRI); regular commentator on French TV

Some UK companies see possible gains from exiting the EU. But a survey of 700 British businesses concludes there is widespread uncertainty.

Jean Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, has been outlining his ambitious vision for the EU's future but is his plan possible? Dr. Ben Margulies, an American Political Scientist teaching at Warwick University in the UK gives analysis on Mr Juncker's plans. We also return to the border issues between the UK and Republic of Ireland because of Brexit. If Brexit negotiations go badly, the currently invisible border might have to be re-erected, with all of the dangers that poses for the peace deal that brought IRA and Ulster loyalist paramilitary violence to an end in 1998. The British government says it will find a way to keep the border invisible while still imposing customs and migration regulations. How they will do that has not been fully explained. Dan Damon speaks with Irish Times writer Fintan O'Toole.

Dan explores the thorny question of whether the EU's top court - the European Court of Justice - will still influence UK law. Also: Polls show pro-Leave voters have no remorse.

The vote for Brexit was the result of a referendum, the third in the UK in recent years. Referendums seem to be getting more and more common; but are they being used wisely and conducted fairly? Dan speaks with the director of the new Independent Commission on Referendums, Alan Renwick from the Constitutional Unit of University College London. There are also updates on this week's Brexit developments, including the UK government publishing position papers on trade and on the border between Northern Ireland and the Irish republic. (IMAGE: A man casts his ballot to vote in a referendum - ANDER GILLENEA/AFP/Getty Images)

One of the big talking points over the past few days has been on freedom of movement - the four freedoms of goods, services, capital and labour that come with European Union membership. Prime Minister Theresa May has insisted that free movement will cease at the end of March 2019 when Britain leaves the EU. And one of the places seriously affected by that change will be Ireland, where the border between the North and the Irish Republic will become the only land border between a non-EU UK and the other 27 member.

In this week's negotiations between the UK and EU, the issue of trade came up earlier than expected. That's because agricultural import quotas are so important, as Professor. Fiona Smith, a trade law expert from Warwick University told Dan this week. Also Rob Watson on the Northern Ireland question, all on Brexit Watch.

The British government have introduced a bill to Parliament that if approved will convert thousands of European Union laws into British law when Britain leaves, in theory on 29th March 2019. But there are plenty of reasons why that might not go as smoothly as Theresa May's government hopes. To help us understand what should happen, for this week's Brexit Watch we spoke to Dr. Jo Hunt from the School of Law and Politics at Cardiff University. ( Britain & EU Flags: Getty Images)

As negotiations begin Dan Damon speaks to two people with experience of cutting a deal with the European Union. Yanis Varoufakis was the Greek Finance Minister in 2015 and had to negotiate with the EU during the country's government-debt crisis. Jason Langrish is the Executive Director of the Canada Europe Roundtable for Business. He was involved in negotiations on the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

In the last of our three-part road trip looking at how Brexit could effect different industries, we go to the docks and see how the haulage industry is prepared for Brexit. (IMAGE: The port of Dover at night CREDIT: merlinpf)

Dan Damon continues his road trip looking at the possible effects of Brexit on three different industries. In part two, Dan takes us to Ramsgate Harbour, and meets the fisherman who was a big campaigner to leave the EU.

What opportunities and pitfalls face the UK's I.T. and Finance industries after Brexit? Dan gets perspectives from Gianpiero Lotito, a founding member of the European Tech Alliance whose company FacilityLive is the first international company to be part of the London Stock Exchange ELITE programme, and Mark Kelly, Chief Executive for Olive Tree Financial. With analysis from the BBC World Service's Political Correspondent, Rob Watson. (IMAGE: Traders on the floor of ETX Capital in London on March 29, 2017 - CREDIT: CHRIS J RATCLIFFE/AFP/Getty Images)

What will the 8th June election mean for Brexit? Dan Damon speaks with two experts in European and UK politics to find out more - Jacki Davis, senior adviser to the European Policy Centre in Brussels and Jo-Anne Nadler who formerly worked at the Conservative Central Office, the headquarters of the ruling Conservative Party. (IMAGE: A copy of the Evening Standard, with the front page story relating to British Prime Minister Theresa May's call for a snap general election on June 8 - Photo credit: DANIEL SORABJI/AFP/Getty Images)

While Parliament is in recess, use the time to get acquainted with Article 207, 217 & 218. Dan Damon speaks with Catherine Barnard, professor in European Union Law and Employment Law at the University of Cambridge, as she prepares us for what happens next in the negotiations. The BBC's Political Correspondent Ben Wright is on hand to give analysis from Westminster. (IMAGE: A pro-remain protester holds up an EU flag with one of the stars symbolically cut out in front of the Houses of Parliament shortly after British Prime Minister Theresa May announced to the House of Commons that Article 50 had been triggered- CREDIT: OLI SCARFF/AFP/Getty Images)

We take a look at security in a post-Brexit world. Cooperation has always been key when dealing with other countries so what should happen now to make sure everyone is still protected? The EU External Affairs Sub-Committee has been holding a one-off evidence session to gather information on what the Common Foreign and Security Policy could be now. Dan Damon speaks to one of those advising the sub-committee, Professor Karen Smith from the LSE's Department of International Relations. The BBC's Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier gives analysis and overview from Westminster.

In this special edition of Brexit Watch, Dan goes to 'Brexit Central' - Boston in Lincolnshire - on the day the UK officially starts its departure from the EU. (IMAGE: The Prime Minster Of the United Kingdom Theresa May Signs Article 50 - Christopher Furlong - WPA Pool/Getty Images)

What is the timeline for the UK's departure now? Jill Rutter is a Programme Director at the Institute of Government, an independent charity promoting effective government. Dan Damon asks what happens after 29th March, when the British Prime Minister, Theresa May triggers Article 50? (Photo: The front page of the London Evening Standard newspaper reporting that Britain will launch the process of leaving the EU on 29 March 2017. Credit: Daniel Sorabji/AFP/Getty Images)

Britain starts the formal process of leaving the EU this month, giving impetus to calls for a fresh vote on Scottish independence. Dan brings together the BBC's political correspondent Rob Watson, Professor John Curtice of Strathclyde University in Glasgow, and Britain Taylor, political editor for BBC Scotland.

Will Geert Wilders and his supporters 'Make Netherlands ours again' in the upcoming election, possibly paving the way for another country to leave the EU? Dan Damon speaks to both sides of the argument, and asks how Brexit is influencing other EU countries. (IMAGE: Supporters of Dutch far-right politician and leader of the Partij Voor De Vrijheid (PVV or Freedom Party) Geert Wilders hold leaflets bearing his image and a slogan which translates as 'Make Netherlands ours again' - JOHN THYS/A FP/Getty Images)

Dutch MEP Sophie In't Veld tells Dan Damon why her new task force looking into the issues for EU citizens post-Brexit is needed, and our Westminster political correspondent Eleanor Garnier explains what you need to know about Brexit this week. (Photo: Sophie In't Veld. Credit: AFP/Getty Images)

The European Medicines Agency is based in London and is responsible for the safety of medicines developed by pharmaceutical companies for use in the EU. If Article 50 is triggered then the UK will leave the EMA. Dan Damon finds out about the potential impact of this with Professor Sir Michael Rawlins, the chairman of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. (Photo: Medicine, water and a stethoscope. Credit: Franck Fife/AFP)

The UK Parliament is in recess at the moment, so the politics of Brexit has been low key. This gives us an opportunity to reflect on the arts and Brexit. What would some of great literary and artistic names from the past, such as David Hockney and Kingsley Amis have made of the decision to leave the European Union? Dan Damon spoke to BBC's Ben Wright and Denis Staunton, the London editor of the Irish Times. (Photo: British artist David Hockney poses in front of his painting entitled The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire 2011. Credit: Oli Scarff/Getty Images)

A court case in Dublin could give the British government the option of revisiting the Brexit decision and reversing it without the consent of the other 27 European Union member states. The court case will also consider whether Britain should still be able to attend all of the meetings of the EU until it actually leaves the organisation. Dan Damon spoke to Jolyon Maugham, director of the Good Law Project and to the BBC's political correspondent Chris Mason. (Photo:European Union flag with the Elizabeth Tower of the Houses of Parliament Credit: PA)

For two days British parliamentarians have been debating draft legislation that paves the way for Britain to officially start the process of leaving the European Union. Last week Supreme Court judges ruled that government plans to trigger Article 50 and start negotiating its exit from the European Union must be put before parliament. Dan Damon spoke with Conservative MP Ben Howlett just before he went into the chamber to start the second and final day of discussions. (Photo: Protestors demonstrate against Brexit in Parliament Square while parliamentarians debate the European Union notification of withdrawal bill. Credit: Leon Neal/Getty Images)

Legislation that would allow the British government to trigger what's known as Article 50 and start negotiating its exit from the European Union could be put before parliament as early as Thursday. That's after the Supreme Court ruling on Tuesday that - in essence - said parliament must be consulted beforehand. But how many MPs will vote against? Will amendments be tabled to frustrate the process? James Menendez spoke to Alison Young, Professor of Public Law at Oxford University and Rob Watson, BBC's political correspondent. First, what will the Brexit bill entail?

Dan Damon spoke to Vicky Pryce, an economist at the Centre for Business and Economic Research, about prospective future trade deals between the European Union and the United Kingdom. (Photo: A farm in the United Kingdom. Credit: Rob Stothard/Getty Images)

Dan Damon spoke to The Financial Times' political editor, George Parker about the significance of Sir Ivan Rogers' resignation. (Photo: The UK's ambassador to the EU, Sir Ivan Rogers. Credit: Reuters)

Britain is the biggest foreign investor in the United States, making up 15 percent of foreign direct investment, ahead of Canada, China and Japan. And the US is the biggest export market for the UK, receiving more than 31 billion dollars' worth of British goods each year. Dan Damon spoke to Republican Senator Mike Lee who is campaigning to maintain the same trade deal with Britain after Brexit. (Photo: US and UK flags Credit: Getty Images)
