Date de diffusion: Jun 16, 2019

For Father’s Day, Sean Fletcher is in London to meet a dad whose personal sacrifice saved his son’s life when he donated a kidney in a televised operation watched by millions. We hear how music-making has strengthened one father’s bond with his son, and we discover how a mobile youth club, based on a bus, is bringing faith, hope and positive role models to teenagers. Laura Wright visits St Pancras station to sing along with a pianist who plays hymns to entertain passers-by, and we launch the vote to find the UK’s favourite hymn.
