Christianity and the World Order by The Rev Dr Edward Norman , Dean of Peter-house, Cambridge
6: The In-Dwelling Christ ' Earlier this year I heard a Church of England clergyman say on the radio that the Sex Pistols' songs are " about world order " and " changing the world ", This he linked with true Christian prophecy " ... the investing of punk rock with Christian authority is precisely what also happens when bishops and theologians endorse social democracy or cultural pluralism.'
In his final lecture Dr Norman argues that Christ's teachings should make us cautious in identifying the ultimate purposes of God with the shifting values of contemporary society.

An epic adventure In time and space.

How far behind is the past?
Michael Charlton examines the case German conservatives are making for drawing a line under the Nazi era. He talks to men of varying shades of conservative opinion in Germany to find out what ' Right' really means there now in democratic terms-and how far Franz-Josef Strauss is able to lead their thinking.

Sir John Gielgud , in the seventh of 11 programmes, talks to JOHN MILLER.
7: Alarums and Excursions ' I produced Twelfth Niaht at Stratford with Vivien Leigh and Laurence Oli vier, who was an extraordinary Malvolio, and Vivien Leigh I thought was enchanting as Viola. He was very set on playing Malvolio in his particular way, which was very amusing but to me a little bit extravagant. He was rather moving at the end but he played it like a sort of Jewish hairdresser or something, with a great lisp and extraordinary accent, and he would fall off the bench in the garden scene, on his face!'
