They also discuss the blockbuster news that Deadpool & Wolverine has secured a record £82 million in UK tax credits - a milestone moment for the film industry. Robert and Suzanne discuss how the incentive system works, why the UK remains a major production hub, and what this could mean for future big-budget films. Rounding out the episode, they look at the tax issues that often surface during the festive season, from staff parties to seasonal perks.
