In the Christmas edition, Mishal Husain introduces dispatches from journalists and writers around the United Kingdom which reflect the range of contemporary life in the country. Ian McMillan tells a story known with subtle variations across the country - the Christmas card that's received each year but which can't be acknowledged because you've lost the address of the people who send it. They aren't relatives, they're not friends and they're not really acquaintances. But their card says something profound beyond the sentiments it contains. Meanwhile, Jane Labous joins the Special Constables on Christmas patrol. They're part of the police force in England, Scotland and Wales and yet not for they are volunteers who have the power to detain and fine those who break the law. At a time of tight police budgets in Dorset, the regular police tell Jane, without the Specials there would be many fewer arrests. But who are the Specials and what is the essential job they perform for no salary? Those who are single at Christmas may be thinking the best present they could have is a partner to shower them with affection and maybe the odd gift. Increasingly, they are turning to technology to find that special one and Melanie Abbott discovers if online dating is delivering for them. With the seasonal party season in full flood, Datshiane Navanayagam reveals that while she loves make-up, she'd rather wear it indoors, unseen by the rest of us, and then wipe it off and go to bed than show it in public. Can a celebrity make-up artist she approaches change her mind? And Garry Owen explains why a rude horse is coming to call more frequently in Wales at this time of year and how she should be greeted if there's a knock at your door. Producer: Simon Coates

Richard Coles and Aasmah Mir are joined by DJ and writer Stuart Maconie. Stuart's new paperback 'The Pie at Night', is an exploration of "what the North does for fun" and a defence of northerners who make the effort to get dressed up for a glam night out. Stuart reveals the little-known corners of northern towns and countryside where old or quirky customs still live on. Saba Douglas-Hamilton met her first wild elephant at the age of six weeks. She's now a conservationist and raising her own children amidst wild elephants in Kenya. She's also a wildlife documentary maker and presenter of 'This Wild Life' and 'Big Cat Diaries'. She talks about waking up with a bull elephant looming over her and coping with a spitting cobra in the bathroom. Radzi Chinyanganya is the classic adrenalin-fulled 'Blue Peter' presenter and has competed in karate and skeleton bob. But perhaps his most dangerous stunt was running on custard. (Listen to find out why.) In a change from the usual content, Radzi has made a special programme called 'The Walk That Changed The World', in which he retraces the route of the 1965 Selma to Montgomery civil rights march led by his hero Martin Luther King Jr. Bestselling thriller writer Frederick Forsyth shares his Inheritance Tracks. He inherits 'Ol' Man River' sung by Paul Robeson and passes on 'Fallen Soldier' sung by Melissa.

Listeners tell us how they spend their Saturdays working as Special Constables. And we're live from the jockeys' weighing room at Aintree ahead of the Grand National. Producer: Paul Waters.
