from Ballymena, Northern Ireland Ballymena, ' middle town' as its name means in the original Irish, lies at the top of the legendary glens of Antrim, beside the holy mountain of Slemish. St Patrick's first exile from his native Britain was spent herding sheep on this mountain. The people here are renowned for their thrift, traditionalism and church-going. Seamus McKee visited the town and spoke to some of the people about their everyday faith and the hymns which they have chosen to be sung in West Church, one of the eight Presbyterian churches in the town.
Praise to the Holiest in the height; I bind unto myself; In Christ there is no east or west; Make me a channel of your peace; The Lord is my Shepherd; Bind us together, Lord; Be not afraid; Through all the changing scenes of life. Conductor HAVELOCK NELSON

A lighthearted documentary.
Put your feet up and come with Terry Wogan , perhaps Britain's best-loved broadcaster, on the most celebrated train in history. No expense is spared as the magnificent Orient Express speeds through the vineyards of France, the lakes and forests of Switzerland and the valleys of Italy towards Venice. Amid the elegance the garrulous Irishman savours the mystery and romance of one of the world's great train journeys in his own inimitable style.
