From the Games to Bond, Clare Balding looks back at the big stories and events of 2012 with her guests, Olympic champion Victoria Pendleton and national treasure Sarah Millican.

2012 has been an amazing year for the UK: the Diamond Jubilee, the Olympic Games, the Paralympics, the 50th anniversaries of the first James Bond film, The Beatles' debut UK chart hit, and the arrival of The Rolling Stones. In the first of four special programmes, Clare Balding takes a look at some of the big stories, events and achievements that have combined to make 2012 a year many Britons will never forget. Featuring the best music from the past twelve months, Clare also chats to some of the people who helped to shape the year, along with special reports from the Radio 2 presenting family. Clare's guests include Olympic champion Victoria Pendleton and national treasure Sarah Millican.
