Shoot-out in the cathedral gets the thumbs-up in Durham

Some TV viewers are upset, but history doesn’t support the notion that churches are always as peaceful as they appearWe’ve just seen the results of an interesting theological discussion at Durham cathedral about whether violent death should be allowed to take place in the nave. Not the real thing; but a dramatic conclusion to the last in the latest series of BBC TV’s 1960s drama Inspector George Gently which sees Martin Shaw transformed from urbane Judge John Deed into a tough 1960s police officer in the land of the Prince Bishops.
