BCC TO PUT ITS SPIN ON BIBLE

The BBC is planning to dramatize the Bible using computer generated imagery and drama in six 60 minute episodes to be broadcast next year. The budget series will focus on well-known stories from the Old and New Testaments. The BBC recently broadcast an Easter drama called The Passion that gain four million viewers. Christian groups criticized the series for rewriting the traditional story and excusing the behavior of Judas and Pontius Pilate.
