Episode description
With Mark Lawson, including the announcement of the category winners in the Costa Book Awards 2012 for novel, first novel, biography, poetry and children's book.
As the new year gets underway, Skyfall director Sam Mendes, Fifty Shades author E L James, Bring up the Bodies writer Hilary Mantel, and presenter Clare Balding look ahead to what their own 2013 holds.
And nominations for this year's Oscars are announced next week and likely nominees will be four films with disability at their centre; Rust and Bone, Amour, Untouchable and The Sessions. But how far do these big screen depictions represent a watershed in portrayals of severe disability? Critic Scott Jordan Harris assesses their impact.
Producer Penny Murphy.
