Actor David Suchet goes in search of one of the most puzzling characters in history - the man we know today as Saint Peter. Uncovering fragments of tradition and half-whispered traces of Peter's life, Suchet reveals the real person hidden within the New Testament stories.
Beside the Sea of Galilee, he investigates Peter's early life as a fisherman and asks why it was that Peter chose to join forces with Jesus - a man so clearly on a collision course with Rome.
