0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the week in 60 minutes brought to you by Spectator TV and broadcast on April the 5th, 2023.
0:21.6	My name is Freddie Gray.
0:23.6	I'm the deputy editor of The Spectator, and I will be your host today.
0:28.6	First up on the show, it is Holy Week, and we have a special Easter edition out.
0:35.6	But we will start with the big story of the week, which is, in fact,
0:41.2	the passion of the Donald. Donald Trump has been indicted in a court in Manhattan this week
0:47.5	to much international interest and quite a lot of outcry and concern about the state of justice in American democracy.
0:57.5	I'll be joined by the journalist and broadcaster Megan Kelly to talk about the political
1:03.6	fallout of this historic and unprecedented event. And we will move on to talk about the late Nigel Lawson, who sadly died this week. He was,
1:14.7	as the spectator's leader puts it this week, the most consequential chancellor of our times.
1:20.1	I'll be joined by Charles Moore, a former spectator editor and biographer of Margaret Thatcher,
1:26.0	to discuss his life and legacy.
1:30.1	After that, we will talk about our cover piece in the Spectators' Easter special,
1:35.5	which is religiously themed appropriately enough.
1:38.7	It's about Justin Welby and Pope Francis and 10 years of their divisive leaderships. It's written by Dan Hitchens,
1:46.7	the First Things Senior Editor. I'll be talking to him and I'm also joined by the comedian and
1:52.7	broadcaster Andrew Doyle. And finally we'll be talking about art in prison. We have a very interesting lead arts review
2:03.3	by Stuart Jeffries in this week's magazine about a new and rare exhibition of prison art
2:10.3	by prisoners in HMP, Her Majesty's Prison of Grendon. I'll be joined by Stuart and the poet and prison rehabilitation activist
2:21.6	Lady Unchained. And finally a reminder that if you want to subscribe to Spectator TV, if you
2:29.3	enjoy this broadcast, as I'm sure you will, you should subscribe to Spectator TV. And you can do that by clicking the subscribe button at the bottom of your screen
2:39.0	and there is a bell icon which I have misleadingly said before this was at the top of your screen.
