The series, ostensibly an arts travelogue about the pilgrimage route, was notable for Sewell wrestling with his own loss of faith and for his emotional responses to the pilgrims he encountered. Each episode features a leg of the pilgrimage route with a diversion in the third episode to visit the shrine at Lourdes.

The series was a success for Five and was watched by more than one million people - the channel's biggest audience for an arts programme.

The series won the prestigious Sandford St. Martin Trust award for Best Religious Programme. It was released on DVD in 2004.

gollark: What?
gollark: Lots of things could destroy the earth, yes. Just not nuclear war.
gollark: Nuclear war is not capable of destroying the Earth, as it's quite big. A 999-magnitude earthquake would probably, as it is a log scale.
gollark: More properly known as a geometer, actually.
