Yeah mate i have, not much success i'm afraid. I always remember some footage that scared the crap out of me when i was younger on that programme. A ghost staring at youngsters on horses in a field. The father picked the image up and on closer look it looked like a man in the garb of an 18th century vicar. He looked terrifying. I've never seen the footage since. That programme ended to early imo.

Im surprised it hasent resurfaced on any of Channel Four's repeat stations..
one of my fav bits were the songs he used to sing at the end of the show ( or did i dream that ?? )..

Interesting people remember it with affection..Personally i didn't like the show.I found it patronising and stupid at times. It also smacked of tokenism by having a "singing vicar" comparing it.It was almost as if Channel 4 were hedging their bets and bottling out by having the representative of an established religion as the host incase they were accused of being "yet another example of the media being in league with the devil". I also found the "songs" embarrassingly bad, bit like your uncles dancing at weddings.

I can understand why Channel 4 chose to go with the slightly "irreverent" tone of the show but i personally thought it was a sadly missed opportunity to present both sides of the arguments in a cogent manner whereas it was merely the same old "oo look novelty stuff".

I liked that program. Kind of like Strange but True, but quirkier.
