Today on Songs Of Praise, I'll be finding out how chickens can | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
combat loneliness and helping me will be this group from the North East. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
They are known as "hensioners", not pensioners. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Also in the programme, Richard Taylor, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
our very own church detective, is in Haworth in West Yorkshire | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
exploring its links with the Bronte family. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
And I'm here in the Cotswolds for a sneak preview | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
of the new series of Father Brown, the crime-solving priest. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Chesterton wrote him as a short, stumpy priest. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
I play him as a larger, fat priest. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
And we've no shortage of great hymns and songs to inspire you, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
starting with this one - | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
a stirring epiphany hymn from Ipswich. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Loneliness is a growing problem. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
For many, it could be pretty miserable. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Over a million pensioners here in the UK say they haven't spoken | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
to a friend, neighbour or family member for at least a month. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
But I've come to a sheltered housing project | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
here in Gateshead that is doing its part to combat | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
loneliness in a surprising way by enlisting some special help - | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
chickens. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Hen Power is a scheme that uses these bird buddies | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
to reduce loneliness and depression. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
I want to find out how the residents here in Wood Green | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
have been won over. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Hens have lived here alongside the residents for four years now | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
as part of a project run by the charity Equal Arts | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
and it's expanding across the country. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
-This one is having a good look at me. -He's seen you on the telly. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Do you think he has seen me on the telly? Is that what it is?! | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
89-year-old Thomas Cresswell, known as Ossie, | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
is one of the people who've benefited. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
Twice widowed, Ossie has lived alone in his bungalow for 16 years. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
Loneliness is a terrible thing. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
Every day is the same. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
Nothing interests you. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
I mean, people, they don't know you. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
You don't know them, you know. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
You're a world apart. You are living on your own. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
You have nobody to talk to, no friend, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
nobody to help you with these things. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
You are grasping for straws, really. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
When your wife dies, you've got nothing left. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
It's like half of you dying, isn't it? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
And when half of you is dying, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
you haven't got no will to live yourself. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
You've got no time for television or anything. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
You just want to sit in the garden | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
and reminisce things you had with your wife and things like this. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
Did faith make a difference? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
It helps you. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
Because when you are on your own, you forget about people. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
You think about the end of your life... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
..and what's going to happen to you, then. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
But I was brought up in a church when I was young. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
And at night, I still say my night prayers, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
such as the wife, I will always say a prayer for her, | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
and the people that's next to us that's got problems, you know. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
So who have we got here? Who is this? | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-That is Betty. That's right, she will settle down. -Hello. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-That is the first time I have fed a hen. -They are friendly. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
-They will not hurt you, you know. -She's lovely. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-I just hold her by the feet with the right hand. -Right. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-Right hand by the feet. Like that. -Not too tight. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
She will settle down. Put her on top of your knees. She'll not... | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
-They're lovely. -She will not bother you, no. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
These make a great difference in my life. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
It has made a great difference to other people's lives. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
In what way has it made a difference? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
It gets me out of the house, it gets me meeting people. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
So it has been a godsend to me, | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
but we also try to convey this to other people | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
that haven't got anything. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
They live outside my back door. I say, "Hello, darlings, how are you?" | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
And they come up to us. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
They actually do all come running and you're talking | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
and they are pecking and shouting at you. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
-People don't realise how nice and warm and soft they are. -They are. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
I am amazed. I never realised either. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
When you take them to children's schools, they are just gobsmacked. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
We take the hens to old people's homes. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
There are people looking out the window. They have got nothing. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
They don't talk to each other. Silence is golden in places. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
But when I go with the hens, you cause a bit of havoc. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
Everybody is looking and the place comes alive for a few hours. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
You get the hens out and they are walking about. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-They're the focal point, aren't they? -They are the focal point. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-We have hen nights to raise money. -Not like the normal hen nights?! | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
Not them. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
We have events, what we call a hen night, which is a social evening | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
and we have raffles and things. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
And the money goes to help the hens if they need anything. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:45 | |
How do you feel now when you have Betty in your arms? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
I feel as though I've got light in my hands. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
You sit looking at the wall if you haven't got chickens, you know. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
Do you thank God for them? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
I thank everybody for them, especially God. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
If it hadn't have been for him, I wouldn't be here looking after them. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
God has given me the strength and the mind to talk about them | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
and make other people happy. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
Tomorrow sees the much-anticipated return | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
of the BBC drama Father Brown. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
We sent Ann Widdecombe on location in the Cotswolds | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
to investigate its enduring popularity. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
And action. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
Father Brown is a drama about a humble parish priest who uses | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
his intuition to solve grisly crimes amongst the rolling Cotswold Hills. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
A ratings hit on weekday afternoons, it is selling all over the world. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
And I'm getting a sneak preview. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
It's based on the famous novels of GK Chesterton, | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
penned over a century ago. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
But... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:34 | |
..I will need a lift to this bar. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:37 | |
I can lend you Hornby and the Rolls. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
This fashion of Father Brown is set in the 1950s. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
In his books, GK Chesterton describes Father Brown | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
as a dumpy figure with an owlish head. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
I wonder what current Father Brown, Mark Williams, makes of that? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
Chesterton wrote him as a short, stumpy priest. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
I play him as a larger, fat priest. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
I feel I'm very close to him in a lot of ways, | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
one of which is endless inquisitiveness, | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
or nosiness, perhaps we should call it. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-Absolutely, and that, of course, is his great strength. -Yes. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
How do you prepare to play a priest? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
I read a lot and my upbringing is in the Anglican tradition | 0:12:13 | 0:12:19 | |
as a chorister and at university and stuff. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
I was really, really interested in reading about Catholic liturgy. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
The other thing about Father Brown is he is a detective. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Although he is part of the whodunnit British tradition, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
he is different in the sense that what's at stake | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
is not a conundrum or a crossword puzzle in the Christie mould, | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
but it is people's souls. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
So his emotional connection with the problem is that much deeper. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:49 | |
And that is a great thing for an actor to play. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
I am finally happy, Father. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
Historical and religious accuracy | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
are very important to the production. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
The wrong costume or hymnbook could lead to complaints | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
from its millions of viewers, | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
so they employ 83-year-old Father Anthony Nye | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
as their religious adviser. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
-Thank you, Father. -There we are. Welcome. -Oh, I say. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
Look, we've got a confessional. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
They have done a very good job of that. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-That is where Father Brown sits and hears it all. -That's right. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
And you wouldn't get one of those in the average Anglican church. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
What does being a religious adviser involve? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Reading the scripts carefully to see that it is authentic | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
for the way the Catholic Church was in the 1950s. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
Did you ever have to intervene in a more general way and say, | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
"No, that's not right?" | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
Yes. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
Like the bishop, very irascible, saying "Brown". | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
No, a Catholic bishop, even if he is irascible, wouldn't do that. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-So I said he must be called Father Brown. -Or Father. -Or Father. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |
Why do you think Chesterton wrote a book with a priest as a detective? | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
Because he, like myself and yourself, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
was a convert who was very much taken | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
with the wisdom of Catholicism and he wanted to show a character | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
not just solving problems but showing humanity and wisdom. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
Now, can you see yourself solving a murder? | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
I think I might, having read all those scripts! | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
What is the appeal of Father Brown? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
He doesn't judge and he is fascinated by life. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
The attractiveness of his character, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
that you can be a Catholic priest and you can be human. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
Just like Holmes or Marple or Poirot, | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
there is an enduring appeal to Father Brown. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
But I don't think it's because he solved crimes. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
I think it's because he was a Christian | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
and he was driven by compassion, humanity and the love of others. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |

Coming up, our very own church detective, Richard Taylor, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
continues his literary travels, this time in Haworth, West Yorkshire. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
He's on the trail of three authors from the same family - the Bronte sisters. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
But first, it's to Tooting in London for this contemporary classic. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:50 | |
In the mid-1840s here in the village of Haworth in West Yorkshire, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
three daughters of the local minister | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
each decided to write a novel. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
In less than one year, the Bronte sisters had written Jane Eyre, | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Wuthering Heights - | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
three of our best loved and most romantic novels | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
with their darkly brooding heroes, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
their passionate heroines, | 0:21:18 | 0:21:20 | |
set against a backdrop of wild moorland and stormy weather. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:25 | |
But the story of the Brontes | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
isn't just a story of astonishing creativity, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
it's also a story of terrible tragedy and of profound faith. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
Patrick Bronte and his wife, Maria, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
arrived here in 1820 with their six small children | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
when Patrick was appointed curate of the local parish church. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
This was their world. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
The church, the parsonage behind it, and the moorland beyond. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:57 | |
The body of the church has been replaced, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
but this is the original belltower, | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
beneath which the family would have walked each Sunday | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
to hear their father's famously passionate sermons. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
But within 18 months Maria had died, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
leaving Patrick to bring up six small children. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
For all that, the Brontes' home life was lively and loving. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
Patrick encouraged the children's love of literature and the arts. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
And the siblings would spend hours together creating imaginary worlds. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:33 | |
To find out more, I'm meeting with Ann Dinsdale | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
in the parsonage itself, which is now a museum to the Brontes. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
A lot of their writing was produced in this room | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
on this particular dining table. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
-Actually here? -Yes. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
Charlotte's Jane Eyre, Emily's Wuthering Heights | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
and Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
were all written at this very table. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
They would walk around the table reading aloud from their work | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
and discussing their writing projects. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
What role did religion play in the lives of the Brontes? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
Well, they were the daughters of a clergyman. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
They were expected to attend church on a regular basis. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
Outwardly, very kind of religious, dutiful lives. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
But then, you know, they almost had double lives | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
where they had this intense imaginary world going on - | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
people with these wild aristocratic characters. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
Everything that Haworth wasn't, really. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
Tragedy hit the family again in the late 1840s. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Emily died of tuberculosis aged 30, | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
brother Branwell aged 31 and just a year later Anne died aged 29. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:50 | |
Charlotte was the last surviving sister | 0:23:51 | 0:23:54 | |
until in 1855 she too died aged just 39. | 0:23:54 | 0:24:00 | |
Astonishingly, Patrick their father | 0:24:00 | 0:24:03 | |
was the last surviving member of the family. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
You can hardly imagine how he coped, but he did, | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
continuing to serve in the church until the day he died. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:13 | |
Here, beneath this column, is the family vault. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
What I've learnt here is that there is no story of the Brontes - | 0:24:19 | 0:24:25 | |
there are many stories. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
There is a story of tragedy as dark as any Victorian novel. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:31 | |
There's the story of the sisters circling their dining room table | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
and conjuring their amazing characters. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
There's the story of strength. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
And there's the story of faith | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
And there's the story of family. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
And there's the story of love. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Earlier in the programme, | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
I met with "hensioners", as they call themselves, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
here at Wood Green sheltered accommodation near Gateshead. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
They have found an unusual way to combat loneliness - | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
by keeping hens. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
The chickens are known to improve wellbeing. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
Hello, Bell. Hello, flower. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
And for 83-year-old Pam Snowball, they have transformed her life. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
So what did you feel like when they first came up | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
with the idea for you guys to have hens? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
I thought it was mad. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
I did. I thought it was crazy. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
I says, "An 80-year-old looking after hens?!" | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
I says, "Well, I'm very apprehensive about that." | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
So what happened was, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
all the ladies that said they were interested in looking after hens | 0:27:53 | 0:27:58 | |
had a hen named after them. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
So we had Doreen, Jenny, me, Pam, Rose. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
What difference has it made to your life having these hens? | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
It has filled a great big hole. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
-Really? -Really. Honestly. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
When I came to live around here, I had lost my husband. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
We did everything together and I didn't have a separate life. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
So you've got to make a new life for yourself | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
and that is how they came into my life. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
-They have got to be put to bed at night. -Oh, right. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
-Do you sing them lullabies? -Not quite. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
They are very therapeutic. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
We take them to schools and all over and it's great. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:38 | |
It gives me something of achievement | 0:28:38 | 0:28:42 | |
because I've never ever been a person that has mixed | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
and had conversations like I'm having now. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
-Really? And that is through the hens? -Through these, yes. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
-That's amazing. -I just didn't have a life with talking to people. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:58 | |
-I used the blush if I went into a crowded room. -Really? -Honestly. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:03 | |
I have only known you a few moments and I can't imagine that. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
Exactly. You see, the thing is, I am on my second life. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
I've had two lives. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
I've got one I had and now I've got a different kind of life altogether. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
Altogether. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
And they have made it. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
Do you ever think to yourself, where would you be | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
and what would have happened to you if you hadn't had the hens? | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
I would be a grumpy old woman. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
Miserable. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:29 | |
And now...I'm not, | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
I'm a really happy-go-lucky person. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
And that's almost it for this week. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
A big thanks to the "hensioners" | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
and their happy hens for being part of the show. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
But we will end today's programme with a hymn of celebration. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
Until next time, bye-bye. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
She's coming with me! | 0:31:48 | 0:31:50 |
