Bishop Richard Holloway talks to Fay Weldon
Award-winning playwright and novelist Fay Weldon , probably most widely known as the authoress of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil, talks about her concept of heaven. Is there, for her, such a place? What will it be like, and who does she hope to meet there? She talks about her early schooldays in a New Zealand cut off by wartime travel restrictions, and the effects that her time as a convent schoolgirl - even though she was not a Catholic - had on her writing. Series producer JAMES MURRAY
