Whilst it’s nice to have some time off from the usual run of the mill, at some point you are no doubt going to get bored over the next week or so. Let’s face it – normally you don’t spend this much time with the family or even in your home. Flashbacks of lockdown will hit you and you are going to need  some escapism.

So here are some suggestions for business-related shows to watch on your streaming services to keep your brain active whilst still resting!
