Festival 85
The first of two special programmes celebrating the best of hymns, both ancient and modem. Last year we invited the viewers of Songs of Praise to choose their ten best-loved hymns. The ballot paper included the hymns sung most regularly in Songs of Praise over the past 23 years, among them: Eternal Father strong to save; All things bright and beautiful; Our God Reigns; The Lord's My Shepherd; Come Down O love divine;
Lord of the Dance; Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer.
Tonight Geoffrey Wheeler introduces the ten most popular hymns in British churches today - as chosen by you, the viewers. They are sung in Manchester Cathedral by 700 members of local church and school choirs in a feast of hymn singing at its very best. Conductor STUART BEER

The Mind Box
Anxiety, lack of confidence, isolation, depression ... these alarming feelings are often presented in doctors' waiting rooms and treated with drugs. But why are some people made ill by the stress and strains of life while others seem to sail through?
Dr Dorothy Rowe , clinical psychologist and author, argues that the answer lies in the 'mind box'-the framework of unexamined beliefs about life and death which each person acquires in childhood. Psychology has traditionally dismissed such beliefs. Dr Rowe, however, sides with an older tradition which sees depression as a symptom of an underlying spiritual crisis. 'Ancient writers on the subject said it was a lack of wisdom in living, and I think that's true.
Learning to be a bit wiser about yourself-that's the cure for depression.'
This film examines how she passes on the ancient wisdom of self-knowledge - and what the people who come to her learn in the process.
