A series of six programmes with Don Cupitt , Dean of Emmanuel College, Cambridge
5: Religion Shock
Christianity has traditionally preached 'one Church, one faith, one Lord', and by the end of the fourth century was executing heretics. The shock came when Christianity encountered the other major world religions, at least three of which also claim to incorporate and supersede all others.
Don Cupitt follows the stories Of SCHOPENHAUER (the first Western philosopher to feel the impact of Hinduism),
ANNIE BESANT (a remarkable Englishwoman who campaigned for a secular society and then became a theosophist) and VIVEKANANDA (the first Hindu missionary to the West).

The last in the current series of the arts and media magazine presented by Russell Davies, including:

Film: No Surrender is Alan Bleasedale's feature film-writing debut, Michael Angelis - who played Chrissie in Boys from the Blackstuff - stars with Bernard Hill, Elvis Costello and Joanne Whalley in this surreal black comedy of orange and green rivalries, set in Liverpool's clubland.

Print: Patricia Highsmith's new thriller Found in the Street is set in New York's Greenwich Village where she spent her youth. Unusually for Highsmith, the victim rather than the killer is at the heart of this novel.

Theatre: a new Stratford stage for the RSC - the Swan Theatre rises from the ashes of the original Shakespeare Memorial Theatre which was burnt out in 1926. Artistic Director Trevor Nunn explains how the company hopes to make a popular success of the works of Shakespeare's contemporaries.

Clark Terry (trumpet and flugelhorn) made his name with the Count Basie and Duke Ellington orchestras, and Bob Brookmeyer (valve trombone) with the Gerry Mulligan Quartet.

Both players command their instruments with a dazzling technique, and in 'Things ain't what they used to be', Clark Terry delights the audience with his famous mumbled vocal interpretation.

The programme was recorded in 1964 for BBC2's Jazz 625.

Accompanying Clark Terry and Bob Brookmeyer are Laurie Holloway (piano) Rick Laird (bass) Allan Ganley (drums)

Introduced by Humphrey Lyttelton
