off-air recordings 13 December - 2 January 2008

Merry Xmas everyone! It's time for the off-air recordings Christmas listings. I'm afraid there's not much to suggest except for ongoing series' that are nearly finished or the offerings below. However, if there are any other programmes you know of that may be of use for teaching purposes please email Rich Deakin < rdeakin@glos.ac.uk >. Likewise, if you would like any of the following programmes / series recording.*

Panorama: I'll Die When I Choose - (Repeat of last Monday's show with sign language) "Margo MacDonald is one of Scotland's most popular public figures - a firebrand, independent politician and forthright media commentator.
She also has the degenerative brain condition Parkinson's disease and has spoken openly of her desire to choose the moment of her death. Now, in a deeply personal Panorama film, she uncovers the truth about assisted dying, meeting people with illnesses like hers who are desperate to choose the time and place of their death, and exploring whether British law should be changed to allow them to do just that."

Pagans - 4 part series "This series of four Channel 4 programmes looks at the origins, history and traces today of pagan beliefs and practices. "

Larkrise to Candleford - "a feature length Christmas special followed by 11 new episodes"

Little Town of Bethlehem - "How the town's Christians will mark Christmas"

The Secret Family of Jesus - "Robert Beckford explores the historical evidence for claims that Jesus had brothers and sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles and nephews, as well as a deep friendship with Mary Magdalene. Beckford and many other theologians believe that Jesus did indeed have an extended family that survived some 300 years after his death. However, they have been airbrushed from history and excised from the Bible as the result of a power struggle in the early church... "
