Stacey Dooley: Inside the Convent
Inside the Convent
Documentary presenter Stacey Dooley is spending 10 days living with the nuns of St Hilda's Priory Order of the Holy Paraclete in Whitby. She adheres to the nuns' timetable, eating meals in silence, learning how to pray and singing in their choir. She also explores how the sisters - some of whom have been at the convent for half a century - cope with this strict way of life, which is so far removed from Stacey's chaotic everyday existence. Can living with these women, who have dedicated themselves to a very different set of priorities, give her new insights into her own life?
Stacey Dooley: Inside the Convent airs on U&W at 1:35 AM, Thursday 31 October. (Subtitles, audio description.)
