Fans of the Liverpool cop drama The Responder will be happy to know that Award Winning Screenwriter Tony Schumacher has another hit show just landed on the BBC, and he tells Tony all about it. The Cage – starring Sheridan Smith and Michael Socha – which explores addiction, responsibility, and when right and wrong begin to blur. Author Philip Parker describes the UK as a Land of Mist and Magic, and his new book sets out to describe the myths and legends that have shaped these islands. He joins Tony to explain more. Tony’s Spiritual Life guest this week is lead singer of the 60s rock group The Zombies, Colin Blunstone, who returns to the UK as part of his ‘Believe in Miracles’ solo tour. They chat fame and failure, family, faith, and why he’s still touring at 80. And joining Tony’s Faith Forum Panel this week is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at University College Cork, Aman De Sondy, Ambassador to the Edinburgh Interfaith Association, Professor Joe Goldblatt, And Daisy Andoh from Edinburgh University’s School of Divinity and Christian. They take a look at what King Charles III’s state visit tells us about soft power and the limits of influence without political control, plus what do people mean by progressive faith, and whether adapting religious tradition strengthens faith or stretches it too far, and how far should love stretch our moral limits? Tony and the panel have been watching new Netflix Doc, Should I Marry A Murderer, and ask what it reveals about conscience, compassion and moral judgement.
