Popes in fiction: “He makes nuns cryâ€
The political machinations of the Vatican have inspired HBO's new 10-part series, 'The Young Pope', starring Jude Law, and Robert Harris's novel Conclave. The Tablet's arts editor Joanna Moorhead and Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith from the Catholic Herald discuss the continuing appeal of the Church as a subject for film-makers and authors, and the differences between fiction and reality.
First broadcast on Sunday, 23 October 2016.
