The Heaven and Earth Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Heaven and Earth Show is a BBC television programme, broadcast on a Sunday morning on BBC television, dealing with religious issues. It is currently presented by Gloria Hunniford. Its features include interviews with celebrities, debates on ethical issues and coverage of newspapers stories from the past week.

The Heaven and Earth show has a magazine format, with has guests of all backgrounds talking about all sorts of ethical, spiritual and cultural issues. The programme also features phone-ins, email and text readouts. Commonly a celebrity guest will be interviewed about their career with a particular focus on religious belief or spirituality - recent guests have included Jimmy Nail, Jimmy Osmond, Al Green and Rodney Bewes. The Heaven and Earth show is notably different from traditional 'god slot' programming in that it concentrates on a wide range of beliefs rather than just Christianity - for example, features on the ethics of halal meat or 'new age' concepts of spirituality. It features prominent figures from both the Church and Islamic, Jewish, Hindu and secular communities.

Occasionally there are special programmes such as that on 7th of September 2003 which featured representatives of 3 different types of beliefs: theist, new age followers and atheists or agnostics. A specially commissioned poll was produced on issues raised.
