Walter Hussey (1909-85) As a parish priest he commissioned a Madonna and Child from Henry Moore. As Dean of Chichester Cathedral he asked Leonard Bernstein to write what became the Chichester Psalms. Once the Church had a glorious record of working with artists to embellish the liturgy and adorn places of worship: Walter Hussey re-invigorated that tradition in this country.
Before his death he talked to composer Robert Walker about some of the remarkable men with whom he worked: Graham Sutherland, Marc Chagall, Lennox Berkeley, Benjamin Britten and how he sometimes had to fight for his belief that the life of faith could be enhanced by art.
With contributions from John Piper, Leonard Bernstein, Henry Moore and Sir Peter Pears.

A view of world history in 13 parts by JOHN ROBERTS
The Victorians took it for granted that the world was getting better. Progress was the idol of the day. Tennyson wrote of 'the march of mind'. The Industrial Revolution marked changes as great as the French Revolution which it followed and, as history speeded up, revolutionary ideology spread round the world. One transforming idea was that the purpose of politics was to bring about social and institutional change. With that went other unsettling Western exports - ideas like 'nationalism' and 'socialism', the great secular religions of our time.
John Roberts describes the age of industry, of the great Italian nationalist Garibaldi, and the French socialist Jean Jaures. 'Nationalism has turned the world upside-down: the most powerful revolutionary force in the world....'

Where the public sets the agenda.
'I am now advocating that most newspapers should carry a Government Health Warning - I really think they are very dangerous to people's health.'

The sensational press coverage of the disease AIDS has created a climate of anxiety, alarm and even panic. In this film the Gay Media Group shows how the coverage has affected everyone, from the gay community and AIDS sufferers to the public at large. Fleet Street has repeatedly used lurid and misleading stories about the 'gay plague' to fan anti-gay prejudice. This programme explores the media myths and sets out the facts about the disease with the help of contributions from Derek Jameson, George Gale, Professor Michael Adler and Tony Whitehead
