Songs of Praise

on BBC One London

from Holmfirth, West Yorkshire
Holmfirth is a Yorkshire textile town fighting industrial decline. In recent years it has developed a tourist industry, with fans of Last of the Summer Wine coming to see where
Nora Batty , Compo and the rest live.
When Roger Royle visited the town he caught the ferocious Nora in sunny mood. He was taught some of the local dialect by ELSIE HOUGHTON and he also discovered how a local Methodist minister and his wife coped when one of their daughters disappeared. The people of Holmfirth meet in the parish church to sing their songs of praise.
Ye servants of God, your master proclaim (Laudate Dominum); Jesus is Lord (Yisu ne kaha); 0 worship the Lord (Was lebet); The Lord is my shepherd (Crimond); God is working his purpose out (Benson); Dear Lord and Father (Repton); Lift high the cross (Crucifer); The day thou gavest (St Clement)
