Sally Philips meets writer and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth to discover how Easter has informed a life filled with love, faith, politics and pantomime. Gyles's story takes him from family Easter egg hunts and searching for the secrets of happiness through to the paradox of combining a love of frivolity and light entertainment with a political career. For once, Gyles is lost for words as he discusses his blessings on an emotional spring walk with Sally.
In the second of her special episodes for the Easter weekend, Sally Philips meets the Rt Rev Rose Hudson-Wilkin, bishop of Dover, in the impressive surroundings of Canterbury Cathedral to discuss what Easter means to her - both personally and as one of the most prominent figures in the Church of England. As she tells her inspiring story, she shares how rejection during her childhood in Jamaica led her further towards the church and a life fighting for the rights of women within the clergy, eventually becoming chaplain to the House of Commons, chaplain to HM Queen Elizabeth II and Britain's first black female bishop.
