On the last BH of 2009, a cast of panto stars reviewing the papers and much more besides.

On the last BH of 2009, the latest on the alleged attempt to blow up a passenger plane over the United States. We have an interview with the transport minister Lord Adonis, who tells us what security measures are in place.

Sam Harker, our friend in Workington, Cumbria, tells us how Christmas has been there after the floods. We look at why the ice and snowdrifts make this a good time to tell stories, and the BH Cultural Figure of the Year, Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, talks to Nigel Wrench.

The papers this week are reviewed by three stars of panto- Christopher Biggins (Widow Twankey in Aladdin at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth), Michelle Gayle ( Queen Rat in Dick Whittington at the Stag Theatre in Sevenoaks) and Jane Asher (the Wicked Queen in Snow White at the Richmond Theatre.)
