For the last programme in the series Cliff Michelmore meets the dancer and choreographer Gillian Lynne in her Knightsbridge home. Well known through her work with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Gillian's own television ballet A Simple Man, based on the life of L. S. Lowry , received a BAFTA award earlier this year. She talks to Cliff about her wartime childhood, her training and early career as a classical ballerina, and also the importance of faith in her life.
Gillian's choice of music ranges from Memory from Cats to God Be in My Head, which are sung for her by pupils from her former school, the London-based ARTS EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL, conducted by MARTIN GOLDSTEIN and PETER FOWLER.

A series in three parts introduced by Bishop Richard Holloway
While church membership climbs in the African continent, western church membership is falling - the result, some say, of loss of nerve among church leaders in face of the modern secular world.
How far should the Church adapt itself to its culture? How does a bishop or a church know when and where to draw the line?
The Bishop of Edinburgh, the Rt Rev Richard Holloway, puts these questions to leading Anglican churchmen, including the Rt Rev David Jenkins, Bishop of Durham; the Rt Rev John Spong, Bishop of Newark, New Jersey; the Most Rev Brian Newton Davis, Primate and Archbishop of New Zealand; the Most Rev Khotso Makhulu, the Archbishop of the Province of Central Africa; and the Most Rev Robin Eames, Primate of All Ireland.
