The BBC has produced a series of three programmes on the life and work of Francis Campbell, the British ambassador to the Holy See. The series is to be shown on BBC 1 in Northern Ireland only, starting this Wednesday 17 February. There is a short trailer at
Our Man in the Vatican, and there is a
programme information brochure.
This might be quite significant since HMG will obviously have an interest in giving a certain spin to relations between the UK and the Holy See. The series includes an interview with Tony Blair.
UPDATE: BBC1 Northern Ireland is available on Sky channel 973.

I was interested until I read the last sentence.
I will, therefore, give it a miss because of that - having no desire to hear anything that man says which is even remotely connected with the Faith. It could amount to an occasion of sin on my part.
The Tablet says that these programmes will also be available to those with Sky or Cable TV..but does not meantion which channel ? Perhaps one of your readers might know ?
It's good to see that His Excellency is dressed properly for the occasion.

A fun fact to know and tell: BBC1 Northern Ireland is available on Sky channel 977.
Fr Clifton - see how helpful the readers are! Many thanks, JB36.
Fr. Tim,
I think you need to update again; goodness knows why I put 977?! I could have sworn I put Sky 973! Mea culpa!
LOL - corrected again.
