80 years of the Daily Service

BBC Radio 4 is celebrating 80 years of the Daily Service with a special week of presenters including the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of Westminster.

These services will retain the essence of a normal Daily Service — broadcast for 15 minutes at 9.45am and including a Biblical reading and prayers — and will also explore the history and diversity of the programme over its 80-year history.

There will be an anniversary reception on Monday 14 January co-hosted by the Controller of Radio 4, Mark Damazer, and the Rev Joel Edwards, Chair of the Churches' Media Council.
