Canterbury: Cathedral Tales

BBC One
on BBC One London

The second of two Everyman programmes marking the 1,400th anniversary of the founding of Canterbury Cathedral.

Having arrived in Canterbury Nigel Hawthorne explores the cathedral's history and examines how it functions today as a multi-million pound business, a tourist site and a place of worship. The clash between commerce and Christianity is most heightened in Holy Week and, as the cathedral prepares for Easter and its 1,400th birthday, all is far from calm in the cloisters.
