in Ecclesiantics
I heard a documentary on the King's College Nine Lessons and Carols on the World Service which I enjoyed.

Any documentaries or specials you've heard or seen you'd like to share?

Merry Christmas!

    St. Paul's Cathedral documentary on preparing for Christmas was very commendably aired over the Christmas season.

    There was also quite a good documentary on the year at King's, with particular reference to the Service of Lessons and Carols. However it annoyed me by basically saying that Eric Milner-White had invented it and making no reference to its origin at Truro.

    There was another documentary series, 3 episodes, on Canterbury Cathedral shown over Christmas, and Howard Goodall on the history of Christmas Carols.

    The Christmas Carol one is about 10 years old!

    Is the Christmas Carol one the one with the academic saying that ‘O come all ye faithful’ is a Jacobite song? A theory that the presenter calls ‘audacious’, in the same manner as Sir Humphrey calling something a ‘bold decision’?

    MMM

    Probably - the BBC suggested a number of traditional Christmas programmes, including this one on carols, some of which I watched as I hadn't seen them the first time around. All but one were repeats. That carols documentary wasn't the oldest; the programme discussing the Dickens invention Christmas as we know it through A Christmas Carol was from 2007, a year older.

    Yes but lovely to see the late Rollo Woods bright, zestful and enthusiastic.
