@gudskyld Songs of Praise USED TO do live OBs, but haven't done for a while now. It's more of a magazine programme now, with recorded inserts between the worship songs. hasn't carried a straight servikce including sermoln slot for a while now. yhes, the live services were carried under the SOP. brand and done by the same team, but the actual SOP. slot is viewed as entertainment by BBC mgt now.

@alcockell If you had lived in Britain for any length of time, you would have discovered that Songs of Praise is a BBC television show which visits local churches and broadcasts a live special service on Sunday morning...hence the joke about parishioners coming to get a chance to get seen on television...

@zeesta13 That is exactly what I was thinking :)

This is immortal. You ask anyone (of a certain age) and they will laugh as soon as this is mentioned, as well as 'Winston Kodogo'; 'there's no GRAMMOPHONES here grandad'; and also Gerald the Gorilla with 'When a Star is Born' blaring out at all hours', amongst others. True greatness.

To be pedantic, this would be more accurately described as the Morning Worship slot, which, at the time, carried the full sermons.

See, I would go to church if Rowan Atkinson was the priest. And I'm an Atheist!
