A Seasonal Sunday Service


2016-12-25: A festive show featuring cracker jokes, jingling bells and clips from this year's Sunday Service. This year, Jarvis spoke to Yuval Noah Harari; Richard Hines; Ralph Rugoff; Adam Curtis; Paul Morley; and Marina Abramovic. Do you remember: playing a record using the new fiver; experimental music for cats; an extract from Stephen Hawking's Reith Lecture; and "O" by Jim Jarmusch/Preservation. There's also a chance to hear for the first time on the Sunday Service some clips that were previously cut for time: Leonard Cohen discussing religion; and a salty anecdote by David Bowie from his early career. Finally, a special present for the listeners — a New Year new song recorded by Jarvis Cocker and Richard Hawley. Merry Christmas everyone!
