Cathy is joined by Scottish mountaineer Jamie Andrew whose story made headlines around the world when he was left stranded in the French Alps in 1999. As a quadruple amputee he's never let life stop him from achieving his goals and he has gone on to make some amazing ascents all over the world.

Do we have free will? It's a question that's occupied great thinkers for centuries, and it's one that philosopher Julian Baggini tackles on Sunday Morning with Cathy Macdonald this week.

According to a recent poll Britain is one of the least religious countries in the world. Martin Palmer, Religious historian and co-founder of Alliance of Religions and Conservation, and Farkhanda Chaudhry who works in inter-religious dialogue, examine the relevance of religion in the UK.

It's the season of the 'spring clean', so it's no surprise that this is one of the peak times for people donating clothes to charity shops. Tony Hosking, Head of Clothing Collection for the Salvation Army Trading Company, and Martin Palmer discuss the complex business of processing our old clothes and how attitudes have changed about recycling and upcycling our old wardrobes.

For as long as there have been people, there have been stories, and the Bible is one of the greatest collections ever. Now some of these Biblical tales are recreated for a new generation. One of the writers, Anthony Horowitz - creator of the hugely popular Alex Rider series - tells Cathy why Biblical stories still appeal.

Despite efforts to combat it, sectarianism continues to feature in Scottish society, and the internet is proving to be a weapon of abuse and a means of heightening sectarian tensions. Our reporter Bob Dickson finds out how a new play shows the stark consequences of on-line sectarian behaviour.
