This week on the iPlayer
Two programmes worth catching on the iPlayer this week before they expire (sorry, UK users only):
- Ian Hislop's Age of the Do-Gooders. A rather superficial, but nonetheless interesting, account of some of the moral reformers of the Georgian and Victorian age with a clear indication that the grand-daddy of all moral reformers, William Wilberforce, was motivated by his conversion to "evangelical Christianity" – interestingly this is what Hislop says rather than his interviewee, Rowan Williams (Available until 20 Dec)
- A rather more sobering programme – Paxman meet Christopher Hitchens. Unrepentant in his atheism, this is a sad and numbing interview, but worthwhile watching for an interesting insight into the man nevertheless. (Available until 17 Dec)
