Press clippings
Radio 4's Saturday Play, Lambeth Palace, portrays politicking and PR spinning over the succession to the Anglican primacy. The liberal, gay-ordaining Bishop of Oxford has faith problems; the conservative Archbishop of York's cupboard is a positive ossuary. The media emerge badly (Kirsty Wark plays herself). Briskly enjoyable.
