Over the next six weeks Cliff Michelmore travels from a Gothic tower in Hertfordshire, via a chateau in Picardy to an old Yorkshire barn, to meet well-known personalities at home on Sunday who talk about their life, faith and favourite religious music.
This week he's in Hertfordshire with Spike Milligan - comedian, jazz musician, author and committed conservationist: 'I think I have a prophetic vision about the earth, but who's going to listen to a clown?'
Spike's choice of music includes the Pie Jesu from Faure's Requiem, 'Eternal Father strong to save' and Schubert's 'Ave Maria'. It's sung by the choirs of the London Oratory in the newly-redecorated Brompton Oratory and the soloist is Stuart Kale. Conductor John Hoban
