Seven years ago Mrs Ethel Chapman was in hospital. She had multiple sclerosis and thought she was about to die.
In a state of depression, she prayed ' If there is a God, show me '. That night she had a vivid dream that she was being nailed to a cross. When she woke in the morning, the hospital staff found marks on her hands as if nails had been hammered through. For the rest of her life until her death a few weeks ago, Mrs Chapman retained the marks and similar ones appeared on her feet. They bled every Good Friday. She had ' stigmata 1, a rare mystical phenomenon.
Shortly before she died, she recorded an interview with Ted Harrison , in which she told about her experience, her remarkable life, and the effect the stigmata had had upon her and her faith. Producer CHRIS REES

1: Sentencing
When a defendant is found guilty it is the judge alone who decides what his or her sentence should be. This gives judges enormous power over individual liberty and great influence over public policy towards crime. Yet they rarely discuss how they approach this often controversial task. In the first of six programmes, Hugo Young hears from several judges about their attitudes to sentencing. Their critics also speak. Among those taking part are LORD JUSTICE LAWTON, LORD JUSTICE SHAW, MR JUSTICE DRAKE , MR JUSTICE PAIN, barrister GEOFFREY ROBERTSON , penal reformer MARTIN WRIGHT and CHIEF CONSTABLE JOHN ALDERSON.
