Cons of Praise - or how BBC threw in Easter at Christmas
After a rousing rendition of Silent Night, the congregation at Lichfield Cathedral was ordered to go home, strip off their winter woolies and get ready to celebrate Easter.In an extraordinary filming schedule, the BBC recorded the Easter edition of Songs of Praise, to be broadcast next month, immediately after completing its Christmas special.
Hundreds of worshippers shivered at Lichfield Cathedral after being told to change their overcoats for floral prints suitable for a warm spring day and to swap places in the pews for filming the following day.
Not only that but both the services were filmed in November, long before both events. Christmas decorations and candles were removed while holly was replaced with colourful tulip bouquets. Searchlights were installed outside to simulate a bright April day.
