Songs of Praise is an interesting programme, as it has been pushed back to a very early slot, at lunchtime in recent years. Well away out of the main prime time schedule.

I do feel in years to come, Songs of Praise, Christmas and Easter ceremonies will be the only religious TV programming we will see on BBC - and of course we are a less religious society. I am not religious at all, but I do feel BBC should be providing a decent service to those people who have a belief system.

Scheduling Songs of Praise at 1.15pm was the best move for it - before that it was all over the place airing at anytime from 11.30am to 4.30pm either on BBC1 or BBC2. It moves far less often now, usually to the same slot on BBC2.

Religious programming has moved on from just covering prayers, hymns and services. It's more about exploring the subject matter through shows like Pilgrimage and having people on screen explore their faith or lack of faith.
