A Tale of Two Cathedrals
The Church was the first patron of the fine arts. Britain's cathedrals and churches still commission major, sometimes controversial, works of art. In four programmes,
George Pattison considers the relationships between artist, church patron and public. This week, the row over Bill Viola 's video installation The
Messenger in Durham Cathedral, and how Anthony Gormley 's sculpture Sound II found a home in Winchester. Producer Chris Gwilliam

Better than It Can Be Played Pianist Artur Schnabel devoted himself above all to the music of Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert, and 45 years after his death the force of his example still touches every pianist who aspires to the peaks of the classical repertoire. Some of today's distinguished players, including Schnabel pupils, discuss with Stephen Plaistow what it is that makes his legacy so inspiring. In the first of four programmes, all the music is by Beethoven and includes the Piano Sonatas in E flat, Op 7 and A flat, Op 110, and the Piano Concerto No 4 in G.
Producer Stephen Plaistow

3: Pinning the Tail on the Antichrist Californian preacher Irving Baxter is the editor of End Times magazine, which keeps its readers abreast of world events from an apocalyptic perspective. He is keen to identify the Antichrist in our midst.
Candidates must fit a fairly strict set of prophetic characteristics. He will be a peacemaker, a great orator and a leader, a man whom nobody suspects will turn nasty when he has us in his power. He will be so persuasive that he will move us into world government. He will probably have the number 666 attached to him, perhaps by the numerical value of his name. According to Baxter, the field of suspects is narrowing fast.
