... of God with Donald Reeves.
The traditional image of God is of a white, autocratic, distant male. Donald Reeves argues this is a dangerous image for today when 'we need to speak of a God who cares for our world and is on the side of life - a God who wants life to continue.' It is time to find fresh images - mother, lover or friend - which speak of God's closeness and God's intimacy.

Starring Rod Taylor, Catherine Spaak, Merle Oberon, Michael Rennie.

The St Gregory in New Orleans - a last bastion of old-style hospitality and first-class service. But an ageing building, heavy financial losses, and an outdated owner make the hotel ripe for a takeover. It is also the setting for stories of blackmail, racism, robbery.... and romance.

This sumptuous adaptation of Arthur Hailey's novel showcases an excellent cast in the intertwined tales of intrigue and deception.

"It's not raving maniacs who take other people's lives, it's people who are inadequate to the stresses of life and finally crumple in an awful, destructive way."
Eight years ago, Graham would never have thought he was capable of killing anyone. He is still struggling to understand why he did. The popular belief is that a typical murderer is a violent maniac who will kill again if not locked away. In reality, three murderers out of four are husbands, wives, lovers or children who fail to cope with difficult events.
In this programme, two men who have been tried for murder talk about the family pressures which led them to kill.
