Gordon Brown on assisted dying, Pendle Witches, 'God's Astronomer'

Sunday

Available for over a year

In an exclusive interview for 'Sunday', the former prime minister Gordon Brown speaks to Julie Etchingham about his opposition to assisted dying, ahead the MPs' vote this week. A campaign group called 'Justice for Witches' has gathered more than ten thousand signatures for a petition to Parliament asking for a royal pardon for the Pendle Witches - more than four hundred years on. And the Pope's astronomer Brother Guy Consolmagno has been delivering a lecture in Cambridge this week, hoping to lay to rest the perceived tension between science and faith.
