After the all-consuming global event of 2020, the past twelve months have seen the world return to a semblance of normality while struggling with the continuing effects of the pandemic.

Adam Fleming and his guests - Helen Lewis, writer for "The Atlantic"; the broadcaster, Datshiane Navanayagam and columnist for "The Times", Daniel Finkelstein - reflect on a year that began with the violent storming of the Capitol in Washington and Joe Biden's first year in office, included the murder of Sarah Everard, the death of Prince Philip, the abrupt and chaotic Western withdrawal from Afghanistan and Angela Merkel's self-effacing departure from office, but also the highs and lows of the Euros, Christopher Plummer's passing, "The President's War Room" documentary, the return of familiar convulsions to British politics and Emma Raducanu's pulsating individual triumph at Flushing Meadow. And, of course, the continuing effects of the pandemic on all aspects of our lives.
