Cleese & co. calm and sharp, the churchy group failing to get their point, or getting it and ignoring it.
The appalling Malcolm Muggeridge was always wheeled on as one of TV's religion talking heads. I remember a programme he did where he visited Mother Teresa in India, fawned all over the awful woman and then afterwards insisted that they we able to film in the dark, cramped surroundings because God blessed the saintly nun by casting his holy light on the proceedings: i.e. it was a bona-fide "miracle". Ridiculous man. (According to the cameraman it was because he was using some new experimental film from Kodak)
