A See-Saw programme
Can I Have My Ball Back?

Lesley Judd reports from the village of Oberammergau in the Bavarian Alps, and sees how the 800-strong cast, including 50 children, two sheep and a donkey, are getting ready for this year's Passion Play.

from Shankill Road, Belfast
Side by side in west Belfast stand the warring Loyalist and Republican factions of Shankill and the Falls. But there is another side to the much reported degradation of the ghettoes. On a local housing estate, once the dumping ground for the victims of sectarian murder gangs, The Rev Walter Lewis has led the struggle of a community to regain its self-respect. Seamus McKee talks to him and others along the notorious Peace Line about their reconciling work, and hundreds from both communities come together in Shankill Parish Church to sing the songs of Easter.
Jesus Christ is risen today (Easter Hymn); Jubilate Deo; Thine be the glory (Maccabaeus); Our God reigns; When I survey the wondrous cross (Rockingham); Make me a channel of your peace: Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour (Helmsley); The head that once was crowned (St Magnus)
