A brief notice, for those in the UK near any form of digital television right now, that BBC Four are about to start showing the excellent Huw Edwards series Bread of Heaven, looking at the history of religion in Wales. It was received very well when it went out here at the end of last year. You might like it too.

(Edit: Well it’s too late now – and unusually, the first episode isn’t getting repeated. Still, the website is well worth a look.)
