One Pair of Eyes — Season 1, Episode 65: Lord Soper: Love God - And Do As You Please

Episode synopsis

In our so-called 'Permissive Society', discipline is an unfashionable concept. The emphasis on personal freedom and the pressure for abolition of all restraints are, Lord Soper believes, dangerous and destructive because they are divorced from any sense of religious or social purpose. In this film Lord Soper, preacher, pacifist and socialist, looks back over his own life and times and makes an urgent plea for a new sense of discipline without which true freedom is not possible.
