Bill, Nick and Rob each bring three predictions for the year ahead across news, media, politics and culture - and they range from the vaguely plausible to the gloriously unhinged.Expect bold calls, wilful speculation, media trends taken to their illogical conclusion, and a healthy dose of self-awareness that most of this will age terribly.
