Shows how suggestion can make indistinct hymn diction look very silly...

That's superb. I had to listen again with the real words open in front of me to convince myself it wasn't redubbed trickery.

 

Should be required viewing for choirs and congregations everywhere.

I don't recognise the noble pile, but would assume from the reference to the tower that it's Scented Mum's Brie Cathedral.

 

 

St.Edmundsbury Cathedral, (Suffolk) I think.

I don't see the problem with this. Most television shows are recorded in advance of transmission. Has Christianity become so banal and pointless to be so worried about when a religious programme is being recorded? Hello??? :lol:

Scented Mum's Brie....?!!

yeah, all right, I get it now. A bit dense that one, or am I more stupid than usual today?

The truth of Christianity is, of course, timeless and ineffable. But a Christian service should also be relevant. The longer the gap between recording and broadcast the greater the chance of the programme becoming irrelevant. Imagine an Easter Songs of Praise making no reference to, for example, a recent major tragedy on the scale of 9/11. I suppose the beancounters at the BBC have appropriate actuarial tables and it's probably cheaper in the long run to bin the occasional irrelevant pre-record and record a new one where necessary.

There are, of course, other ways of dealing with these eventualities :lol:
