At midday on December 12th we staged a 24 hour show, Nine Lessons and Carols for Socially Distanced People, hosted by Robin Ince, full of science, music and comedy for charity. You can now watch almost the entire show in one hour(ish) chunks. With our traditional December shows, Nine Lessons and Carols for Curious People and Robin Ince and Brian Cox's Christmas Compendium of Reason forced to cancel for 2020 we knew we couldn't just leave everyone without their end of year science jamboree.

Into the home stretch and we're joined by two astronauts. The first ever British astronaut, Helen Sharman, and the first Italian woman astronaut, Samantha Cristoforetti. We also talk climate with Dr Tamsin Edwards, hear about dead phone numbers from Ben Moor and folk singer Jim Moray debuts a new song just for us.
