Jimmy McGovern Remembers - Priest
Screenwriter Jimmy McGovern looks back on his 1994 drama, Priest. He explains how an initial desire to explore the notion of celibacy for Catholic priests became a tale tackling homosexuality. Jimmy also discusses the writing of, what were then, eye-opening sex scenes and talks about the film's far darker storyline, exploring child sexual abuse and the sanctity of confession
Jimmy McGovern Remembers - Priest airs on BBC Four HD at 10:00 PM, Wednesday 30 April. (Subtitles, new.)
