What's So Funny About Religion Anyway?

To some God and the Church have always been natural subjects for comedy, to others it can border on blasphemy. John Pitman talks to Ken Dodd, Frank Carson, and Kenneth Williams, also Eric Morecambe ("I never use religious jokes") and Spike Milligan ("people laugh because they're frightened"). Plus the clergy's sometimes surprising viewpoint.
