Reporting Religion

Available for over a year

After the UK High Court prevents a Muslim schoolgirl wearing an ankle-length gown at school, how much of this debate is religious and how much cultural? Also on the programme: why wearing wigs could break Jewish law and whether bones from St Mark in Venice belong to the saint or Alexander the Great.
