Topic: Central Beliefs
7/7 – On Thursday the 7th of July 2005, four bombs were detonated in central London – three on tube trains and one on a double-decker bus. 52 innocent people were killed and over 700 more were injured in the first ever suicide bombings in the UK. We speak to people whose lives were directly affected by the attacks and hear their testimonies, as well as perspectives from an Imam and an expert in the study of terrorism.
In the Beginning – Adam lives in luxury with his best friend Monkey, but there’s something missing in his life. Then Eve moves in to Eden and the trouble begins. This is what happens when you cross the first few chapters of Genesis with an American sitcom. WARNING: the theme song will stick in your head for days. Altogether now, “At first it was just watery, but how conditions oughter be for creating life and all that stuff…”
