Michael Buerk chairs a debate on the moral questions behind the week's news. Michael Portillo, Kenan Malik, Claire Fox and Clifford Longley cross-examine witnesses.
It's that time of year again when the forces of greed and conspicuous consumption do battle with guilt and pious sentiment. So how do you have a merry and a moral Christmas? Michael Buerk and the panel settle down around the festive table to try to find out.
Witnesses:
Ruth Rosselson, writer, Ethical Consumer Magazine
Julian Baggini, philosopher and author
Jonathan Bartley, director of Ekklesia, a web-based think-tank promoting theological ideas in the public sphere.
Susie Boyt, author and journalist.
