On Q for January 7th

--  SIR THOMAS ALLEN is one of the world's leading lyric baritones, and the real-life inspiration for the hit film and play "Billy Elliot". He reflects on his rise from a working-class mining town in the north-east of England to the world's great opera stages.

-- Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a controversial past-time even for adults... so you might be surprised that it is also growing in popularity for kids. Advocates say it's not only great for fitness, but it can build confidence and help prevent bullying too. We convene a Q debate between RYAN LEEF, former MMA fighter-turned-politician, who runs an MMA-based anti-bullying program, and DR. WENDY CRAIG, psychology professor at Queen's University and co-director of PREVNet, a centre of excellence for research on bullying.
