The Sunday evening God Slot went on the road with this ITV series, sending Harry Secombe on a musical journey round the UK to share a song, a hymn, and a prayer with personalities he met along the way.
Secombe presented the show from a different location each week – like a roving version of Stars on Sunday. All the various ITV companies in the network produced episodes in turn.
Harry invited guests to sing religious songs, give readings or just chat about their lifestyles and spiritual feelings. He also performed a number of songs in each programme.
Guests included Richard Clayderman, Catherine Cookson, Spike Milligan, Frankie Howerd, Michael Bentine, Anita Harris, Paul Eddington, Ruby Murray, Helen Shapiro, Mary Hopkin, Max Bygraves, Leslie Crowther, Norman Wisdom, Wendy Craig, Judi Dench, Bernard Cribbins, Jean Alexander, Dana, Rolf Harris, Ralph McTell, Jim Bowen, Roy Castle, Georgie Fame, Acker Bilk, Ken Dodd, Stanley Unwin, Kenny Ball, Jimmy Tarbuck, Isla St Clair, Jean Shrimpton, Billy Dainty, The Beverley Sisters, Fulton Mackay, Frankie Vaughan, Steeleye Span, Hank Wangford, Edward Heath and Mary Whitehouse.
For the final series (in 1993), the show was moved to an early-afternoon timeslot as ITV sought larger audiences at Sunday teatime. Secombe returned in 1994 with Sunday Morning With Secombe.
