' It suddenly dawned on me that I was absolutely broke, completely and utterly. I didn't have a penny in the world ... this was where fame was cruel.' (GARY GLITTER) Five years ago Gary Glitter announced his retirement - unfortunately the world took him at his word. Once he lived the life of a millionaire in a Sussex mansion, now he lives in Earls Court, hopelessly in debt. But the man who seemed to be just another in a long line of rock casualties has returned in triumph, welcomed back from the scrapheap by the punk generation for whom he's an idol and a legend.

The hymn is chosen for tonight's Songs of Praise by Bob Middleton , 60 years a blacksmith in Dartmouth, and sung by local choirs and congregations in St Saviour's Church.
Noreen Bray meets other local inhabitants who tell her about their work, their faith and their favourite hymns.
Lord. enthroned in heavenly splendour (St Helen); Fierce raged the tempest (St Aelred); Abide with me (Eventide); Washed in the blood of the Lamb; Loving Shepherd of thy sheep (Buckland): Thou God of truth and love (St Godric); Stand up and bless the Lord (Carlisle); Sun of my soul (Hursley). organist ROBERT POMEROY Conductor BRIAN RIDALLS

Great preaching has changed the course of British history, and great preachers were the celebrities or public enemies of their day. This is the first of a series of four dramatic reconstructions of sermons delivered by great preachers. starring
Alan MacNaughtan as John Wesley Sermon written by Denis Shaw from the journals and writings of John Wesley.
Introduced by Colin Morris
'The slave trade has given this city its wealth, and it is the execrable sum of all villainies. Aye, it is an offence that cries to heaven that men are become chattles so that Bristol merchants might wax rich!' Wesley preaches in the New Room at Bristol-one of the original Methodist chapels and now restored to its 1748 condition - a powerful and wide-ranging sermon including a scathing attack on the local slave traders.
