Melvyn Bragg's acclaimed documentary on Tyndale, now up on youtube.  Bragg goes overboard where Henry VIII is concerned; yet Bragg's proficiency at presentation, his ability to construct a cogent and compelling narrative, and his keen eye for visuals will bring the WT story to vast new audiences. Thumbs up!

William Tyndale appears in the Daily Telegraph.
