That most unhip and yet most deserving of charities, the Sally Army, normally has better things to do than wonder whether or not it gets enough exposure in the media.

But as William Booth might have told us, the Lord does move in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform. And when needs must, His helpers can outdo the likes of Barry J Mishon when it comes to star-studded extravaganzas.

With Christmas fast approaching, the army has recruited an impressive range of performers to give their services - gratis - to its seasonal CD of extracts from the Bible, The Word in your ear. Diana Rigg, Denis Quilley, Honor Blackman, Dave Willetts, Martin Jarvis, Keith Michell, Toyah Willcox and Peter Bowles all feature, among many others.
