Stacey Dooley is back with another intriguing BBC One documentary but this time Stacey Dooley Investigates Inside the Convent - as we look at how to watch her new documentary.
The former Strictly Come Dancing winner, has been making documentaries since 2008 and for her latest project, Stacey takes a trip up north to spend 10 days living alongside the nuns of St Hilda's Priory in Whitby.
Stacey, who is dating former Strictly Professional dancer Kevin Clifton, always throws herself into work and has struggled to prioritise her work-life balance, until now...
Stacey Dooley Inside the Convent - what is it about?
Stacey Dooley Investigates Inside the Covent gives Stacey the unique opportunity to spend 10 days living in the strict confines of a convent where the women have taken vows of poverty, obedience and celibacy.
She will try to connect to the rhythms of a deeper, slower, quieter and more meaningful way of being, despite not being a religious person.
To survive, Stacey must stick to the nun's strict timetable, eating meals in silence, learning how to pray and singing in their choir - traditions which have run for the last 115 years since it was founded. But with an ageing population and fewer women being called to the vocation, the way of life is at risk of dying out.
Stacey explores how the sisters - some of whom have been at the convent for half a century - cope with the rigidity of an old-fashioned, timetabled life, which is so removed from her chaotic everyday existence.
Can living with these 23 devout sisters, who have dedicated themselves to a very different set of priorities, give her new insights into her own life that might last beyond her time with them?
Stacey shared a video on Instagram to remind fans of her new series, she said, "At 10.35pm BBC One my new documentary goes out - it's when I went to go and live in a convent in Whitby. I had an incredible time, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The communal life, I took loads from it. The sisters were magic, total sweethearts so I want to thank them. I think it's a really interesting watch. You can't help but feel reflective I suppose when there's lots of silence and an element of discipline you're not used to so let me know what you think."
