Cries of the Passion. Professor of Christianity and the Arts at King's College London, the Revd Prof Ben Quash, traces the way of the cross through the sounds and cries he hears on his daily walk to work across London. The cries of the Passion tell the story as Ben's pilgrimage moves from the roaring crowds of the Arsenal stadium, past the joyful shouting of children in Coram's Fields playground, the cries of the market place in Covent Garden, into the box of darkness in Tate Modern. The journey starts in the chant of the crowd and ends in a solitary cry. Producer: Clair Jaquiss.

On the most solemn day in the Christian calendar, Dr Tina Beattie, Director of Catholic Studies at Roehampton University, travels to Jerusalem to reflect on the last moments of Christ's life. Starting at night, in the Garden of Gethsemene, the place where Jesus was arrested, Dr Beattie re-examines the human and spiritual consequences of Christ's journey to his death on the cross. She visits the Pavement on which Christ was tried by Pontius Pilate and scourged, and reflects on the moment where Mary has to contemplate the death of her son. The programme finishes inside the Church of the Holy Sepluchre, the site Christians believe to be the place of the crucifixion and resurrection. Producer: Mark O'Brien.
