1957: BRITISH SUNDAYS - Should We Have More FREEDOM? | Panorama | Voice of the People | BBC Archive
"For years the British Sunday has amazed foreigners, for years the British themselves have argued over it."
Christopher Chataway reports on the British Sunday, when theatres, shops and restaurants are closed and most sporting events are prohibited.
Some people - like actor Jack Warner, who is the president of the Sunday Freedom Association, a group advocating for reform of the Sunday Observance Act - want the laws relaxed, so that charitable events can take place on Sundays. Others - like Harold Leggerton, secretary of the Lord's Day Observance Society - feel that, if anything, the current laws need to be stricter, to ensure that Sundays are preserved as a day of rest.
