SHORTLISTS FOR 2013 UNVEILED

Salisbury's Cathedral choirboys featured in one of this year's shortlisted programmes.  "Angelic Voices: The Choristers of Salisbury Cathedral" was made by Wingspan Productions for BBC FOUR and was first broadcast in March last year.

This year's shortlist, as always, contains some of the best religious radio and tv programmes that you'll find anywhere in the world.  So it's a tough job for the judges who are currently working on just which programmes they should choose as the 2013 winners. 

There are 2 teams of judges - one for Radio (and any other audio entries) led by former singer and broadcaster the Rev Cindy Kent, and a separate team for the TV/video entries led by the outspoken art critic, writer  and broadcaster, Brian Sewell.

Please don't forget that you too can be a judge - and help choose one of the winners - by taking part in the Radio Times reader's vote.  Fuller details on that are below.

You can see the full shortlist here.
