The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: When will the bull market end?
Russ Mould of A J Bell asks the all-important question: when will the bull market end? What's keeping it going and what could take liquidity away from it? Russ believes investors should keep their eye on IPOs and other capital raisings, which could be a sign of froth at the top of the market. And while the UK has some catching-up to do and is still relatively cheap, he does not believe that UK stocks would be immune if markets took a tumble elsewhere.

The Bigger Picture: Capitol Hill rioting, the UK's new lockdown & actual Brexit
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses the Capitol Hill rioters and asks what can possibly be done to defend the principles of democracy in America. As the UK is locked down for the third time since the pandemic started he wonders why more hard questions are not being asked about its efficacy and whether the right people are being prioritised for vaccination. And with the UK finally out of the EU, he looks at the details of the trade deal and what Britain managed to negotiate.

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 one of his last discussions of the year, he wondered if a new, cultural Iron Curtain is splitting Europe into east and west. 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.
