(with its threatening opposite number, hell) only a metaphor which concentrates our minds on the way we live now?
In the first of six programmes The Rt Rev Richard Holloway discusses with distinguished writer Jan Morris what she hopes for when she gets to heaven.

You could tell a town by its tramcars. Many still run in their original liveries at the National Tramway Museum at Crich in Derbyshire; they provide a permanent record of a particular kind of public transport that developed, flourished and all but died in the space of 100 years.
