The story of religious broadcasting is as much about control as it is about the nature of the sacred. Through programmes and previously unbroadcast interviews from the BBC's Oral History collection, Rev Giles Fraser looks back over a century of fascinating debates and tensions over how to broadcast matters of faith and spirituality and how the development of religious broadcasting reflects Britain’s uneasy relationship with religion. Producer: Amanda Hancox
