The Bigger Picture Christmas Special: Tim Evans in 2020 - Part One
In the first of two end-of-year Bigger Picture specials, we look back at some of topics discussed n 2020 by Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University. The pandemic was the predominant topic, of course. Here, Tim wondered why China engaged in a propaganda campaign to persuade every country in the world to go into lockdown. He also considered if the World's Central Banks had set us up for a catastrophic fail, the Pope's attack on property rights, why we should study Qatar's future plans, the success of Big Pharma and why the British Army needs its own Me Too Moment.

The Bigger Picture New Year Special: Tim Evans in 2020 - Part Two
In the second of two end-of-year Bigger Picture specials, we look back at some of topics discussed in 2020 by Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University.

In other programmes, he mused on political psychology and the degrees of openness across the political spectrum, the Government's planning system reforms, whether China's Belt and Road Initiative is the success it is perceived to be and he lamented the loss of one of Britain's great thinkers.

The Business of Film: Wonder Woman 1984, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom & Nothing To Hide
Low-tiered James Cameron-Wilson managed to get to see Wonder Woman 1984, one of the only blockbusters released this year. He also reviews Netflix's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, with Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman tipped for Oscars. He is less enthusiastic about Dreamland with Margot Robbie or Victorian melodrama Gone Away. However, he strongly recommends Nothing To Hide, a hilarious French comedy, which is one of several remakes of a recent Italian film.
