William Crawley and his guests this week look at the legacy of the King Jame's Bible.
On Sunday Sequence this week - some say it's the most influential book ever published in the history of the English language. So why has the King James Bible, in this its 400th anniversary year, proven so significant for religion, politics and culture? Also, why are so many people so upset that Elton John and his partner David Furnish have become parents? We debate the rights and wrongs of celebrity surrogacy. Plus, the Government wants to nudge us to change our behaviour: a perfectly laudable goal or an attempt to impose an Orwellian nightmare as one critic claims? And a leading expert on peace processes says Northern Ireland is in danger of a return to conflict if it doesn't soon address the social dynamics of division and the dark legacy of the past.
