While it was a year like no other in living memory with Covid-19 dominating politics, economics, the Arts, sport and the international scene, Jonny Dymond and his guests assess what else happened during 2020 which is likely to prove of lasting significance.

From the election of a new President in the United States to the video-conferencing boom, from the Black Lives Matter protests to the collapse of high street brands, discrete events occurred which will affect all our lives in the years ahead.

Joined by a panel of guests, featuring Helen Lewis - staff writer for The Atlantic magazine; Professor Anand Menon, head of the research group, UK in a Changing Europe; and Daniel Finkelstein, associate editor of The Times, Jonny Dymond discusses what really mattered at home and abroad, assesses those whose reputations soared - and sank - and remembers the achievements and legacies of some of those who passed away during the year.
