The first of six programmes. Bishop Richard Holloway talks to the celebrated Irish writer, Edna O'Brien , about her hopes of heaven.
Is there, for her, such a place? What will it be like, and whom does she hope to meet there?
She was born into a Roman Catholic family in a small town in the west of Ireland: her early life was dominated by the crucified Christ, whose 'gruesome passion' impinged on every word, every thought and every deed. Life was 'fervid, enclosed and catastrophic'. In this rare interview
Edna O'Brien takes us through her personal journey from claustrophobic small-town Ireland to life as an internationally acclaimed writer. Camera

Walpole
'Sir Robert Walpole. ... brought the system of venality and corruption to a more alarming excess than had ever been known previous to his times.' While not entirely refuting this popular view, Dr Jeremy Black argues that Walpole merely exemplified the prevailing values of his age. Moreover, he introduced much needed stability in a period of religious, political and dynastic upheaval. Producer DAVID HERMAN
