When I Get to Heaven

on BBC One London

The first of six programmes. Bishop Richard Holloway talks to the celebrated Irish writer, Edna O'Brien , about her hopes of heaven.
Is there, for her, such a place? What will it be like, and whom does she hope to meet there?
She was born into a Roman Catholic family in a small town in the west of Ireland: her early life was dominated by the crucified Christ, whose 'gruesome passion' impinged on every word, every thought and every deed. Life was 'fervid, enclosed and catastrophic'. In this rare interview
Edna O'Brien takes us through her personal journey from claustrophobic small-town Ireland to life as an internationally acclaimed writer. Camera
