... Religion on television has to be very sensitive, as we live in a pluralistic world and have to be very careful in the way religion programmes are conveyed and presented. ...
Religious programmes are hardly available to watch on TV, as they are normally broadcasted only on Sundays or on special occasions, like Christmas and Easter. ... Some programmes are not directly religious, and do not only deal with religion, for example Eastenders which can have religious elements. This is because it deals with many important themes and modern problems and religion is very much part of this and therefore applies religious situations in a soap, like euthanasia, murder or abortion and is in-directly religious. Programmes like ‘Heaven and Earth’ and ‘Songs of Praise’ are different and directly religious. They are both on BBC1 and both deal with religious issues, although they are different. ... They use humour as well, to show religious shows are not just boring and old but can be interesting and the teachings are still applied today.
‘Songs of Praise’ does have many differences, mainly because it solely concentrates on Christian religious beliefs. ...
They are similarities with the two programmes, as both include celebrities to host or appear as guests on the show.
