Produced at the time of Muggeridge's late born again Christian phase and predictably evangelical these profiles nevertheless consistently inform, educate and stimulate thought. The style of presentation which eschews the speed, excitement of a travelogue is somewhat vintage. I find Muggeridge here serene while still managing to be provocative. This has an accompanying book and is available as a two disc DVD. It follows on from his other TV work which alas the BBC has not thought fit to release on DVD, for example his famous and well known documentary on Mother Theresa of Calcutta, or the lesser known and now largely forgotten mini-series with Alec Vidler: Paul Envoy Extraordinary and numerous other television programmes such as Lourdes. So for anyone interested in Muggeridge this is a fascinating and indispensable document that adds to his later collected writings and views.
