Temperance and Temptation

BBC One - Songs of Praise, Temperance and Temptation

Ahead of Alcohol Awareness Week, the Rev Kate Bottley explores the history of temperance.

Ahead of Alcohol Awareness Week, the Rev Kate Bottley is in Preston to explore the history of the temperance movement and to reflect on sobriety and moderation.

Ahead of Alcohol Awareness Week, the Rev Canon Kate Bottley travels to Preston to learn about the temperance movement, which began life in the north west of England in the Victorian era. We join the successors to an original children’s temperance society, who are continuing to bring opportunities to young people through alcohol-and-drugs education courses. 

In Burnley, YolanDa Brown meets a local pastor, whose journey to sobriety brought her into a deeper connection with her faith. And Kate has a chance to try some alcohol-free cocktails, catching up with the regulars at the country’s oldest surviving temperance bar. 

With music for worship and performances from across the country, including: 

What a Friend We Have in Jesus – Albert Hall, Nottingham 
Abide with Me – Glasgow Cathedral 
Bridge over Troubled Water – Rock Choir 
In Christ Alone – St Cuthbert's Church, Carlisle 
I Want Jesus to Walk with Me – Vocal Creation 
Lord Of All Hopefulness – Hereford Cathedral
