Welcome to the future. The big issues of 2015

We’re looking ahead to what 2015 may hold…

We ask a host of people including Lewis Hamilton, Simon Pegg, Sir Chris Hoy, Tanni Grey-Thompson, Lorraine Kelly, Sleaford Mods, Archbishop John Sentamu, some of the Gogglebox number and more about the big issues for 2015.

We interview Eddie Redmayne as he stands on the cusp of becoming a very big star indeed – some fine quotes about Stephen Hawking and privilege.

We collect together some of the great upbeat achievements of our vendors over 2014, we look to the inventions and innovations that will make life better in 2015 (trees and an incredible umbrella are included), there is the Historic or Hipster Beard quiz, Dominic Laurie details what your money will be doing in 2015, there is a look at the books you’ll be reading next year and the TV you’ll be watching.

It’s a must-read guide to the year ahead.
