As a sign of its commitment to religious broadcasting, Channel 4 is to screen a major new 8-part series, Christianity: A History, starting this Sunday. The producer of the series, David Batty, took a break from production to talk me through how each of the programmes has a personal touch.
C4 Religion Commissioner Aaqil Ahmed has won awards and made waves in equal measure with his challenging and populist programmes on religion. I went to see him in Horseferry Road to get his views on whether the Bible really has any place on TV.
His personal style became known as 'immersion journalism' after he took living according to the Bible to brand new heights. I caught up with AJ Jacobs, Editor-At-Large at US Esquire, to see how things have changed after the runaway success of his latest book, A Year of Living Biblically.
