A Most Reluctant Witness "The last 'war to end war' finished with an atomic bang. And it was followed by countless 'last wars' all over the world, of very little importance to anyone except the millions of forgotten people who died in them. "
These are the words of the late James Cameron in this programme, as he recalled his days as a war correspondent and questions humankind's obsession with conflict.

Less than a year after demanding seven virgins from his local congregation to serve in his household, the 19th-century preacher John Wroe was accused by two of them of " indecency and things not fit to be spoke of" . Jonathan Pryce stars as the self-styled Prophet of the Christian Israelite church in Ashton, in this extraordinary tale unearthed by writer Jane Rogers in her home town of Ashton-under-Lyne. Nothing is known of the fate of the virgins, so Rogers decided to tell the stories of four of them.
Last year's four one-hour dramas are being re-shown as two 90-minute episodes. This week, the sensual Leah and the saintly Joanna find their lives become inextricably linked when they start living together under the eccentric cleric's roof.
