Clyde

Here we are heading into a new year, according to Copernicus. If we were still on the we'd probably be in February by now. As I write it could be the Middle Ages as out on the Clyde a deep and impenetrable fog has descended, mirroring my mood at being at work at this time of year. I get into the holiday zone quickly at Christmas and sometimes can't see beyond into the New Year. For that reason we decided to rely on the brains trust... the data bank of contacts of the programme... to do the thinking for us.

Instead of just playing old interviews from throughout the year and labelling them "highlights", we asked some of our most insightful contributors to break their holiday and look ahead. So we have Gerry Hassan, Joyce Mcmillan, Mary Kaldor, Murray Pittock, John Peterson, and Trevor Royle on domestic and global issues. We let them talk at length to allow their arguments to unfold and let them get into their stride. They rise to the occasion. The aim is give you something to think about that isn't related to sprouts, sherry, tinsel and those annoying, noisey, inconvenient festive accoutrements that in my house we call the children.

I enclose some biographical details of our expert guests. I commend our January 1 programme to you and hope you find time to listen in. I suppose world peace is too much to hope for, so from the producer Pauline and myself we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Derek.
