What happens when you try to put faith - or the lack of it - into words?

Culture's Not for Us. In the last of three documentaries charting the history of the Third Programme and Radio 3, Humphrey Carpenter investigates the impact of the 1969 announcement that the Third

Richard Baker , Cormac Rigby and Tom Crowe - reflect on changing styles behind the microphone. And former controllers including Harman Grisewood , Stephen Hearst , Ian Mcintyre and John Drummond consider two questions which have provoked much debate over the past 50 years: what is the role of a cultural radio network, and who are its listeners? Repeat
