Vatican II: Reforming the Catholic Church
Sweeping changes at the Vatican, plus the ground-breaking women's publisher Virago.
In January 1959 Pope John XXIII announced a council of all the world's Catholic bishops and cardinals in Rome. It led to sweeping reforms. Plus Carmen Callil recalls setting up Virago, the most successful feminist publishing house to date; India gives birth to the call centres and remembering the Carry-on films.
