BBC’s Radio 2 Sunday Half Hour Show













The Sunday Half Hour Show celebrated 70 years of being on the air by holding a live audience taping at St. Martin-in-the-Fields at Trafalgar Square in London. The live taping consisted of singing hymns and special music by two featured choirs. A message by Father Brian D’Arcy was to be recorded in the studio and edited together with the rest of the show at a later time. The live taping of the Half Hour Show was a little deceiving as half an hour easily turned into three hours.

The Sunday Half Hour Show is broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on Sunday evenings at 8:30 and focuses on Christian hymns and prayer. It is now only one of two Christian based shows on Radio 2. Each show includes congregational sung hymns and special music by the featured choir of the week. Prayers and discussion each week are based on a subject matter, for example, the family might be a subject discussed for one show. The current presenter is Father Brian D’Arcy, a Passionist priest from Ireland.
