with Thora Hird

The popular hymn 'Through all the changing scenes of life' provides the theme for tonight's selection of viewers' favourite hymns. They range from 'Hills of the north, rejoice', sung in Dornoch in the far north of Scotland, to 'The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended' sung on the front at Bexhill-on-Sea.
Thora herself visits Holmfirth, the beautiful village in Yorkshire that's the setting for Last of the Summer Wine. There she talks to Joe Gladwin, better known as Nora Batty's hen-pecked husband, Wally.
