Just wondering if there were any religious programmes on TV yesterday to mark Good Friday. I searched and couldn't find any at all. I know we're becoming a more secular society in normal times, but as more people are turning to God for help in the current crisis I expected there to be at least one programme to make reference to Good Friday, which is one of the holiest days of the Christian calendar.

No you are right there was nothing! When the TV supplement arrived in last weekends paper I searched the Friday listings and couldn’t believe that absolutely nothing was scheduled not even a religious themed film. Religion seems to be the last “ minority” now.

I watched on line my churches prayer service for Good Friday but I was disappointed there was nothing on television

Plenty of services to be streamed on Easter Sunday.

I had thought there would be a Good Friday programme on TV too. But when I saw there wasn't I took myself off to my allotment (which is full of herbs and surrounded by trees) and had a beautiful time reading my Bible there. Where I live our churches gather for an Easter Day sunrise service on a headland but this year I'll be sitting on my patio watching the sun come up!!
