Sara Maitland shares how the Bible - with its fabulous variety of genres - influenced her writing and self-understanding
The Bible is one of those books, and there are others, that everyone thinks they know.

The Baftas n-word disaster shines a spotlight on what's going wrong at the BBC
What's the opposite of covering yourself in glory? It's whatever the BBC teams covering the Baftas decided to do on Sunday. The famed British ability to say sorry has been embarrassingly, appallingly absent, and instead, the BBC’s usual noncommittal backside-covering has been deployed.
