BBC and The Passion
Dave Walker in Church Times blog reports on the BBC production of The Passion.
The program began Sunday 16th March 2008, 20:00, on BBC One and will continue for 4 episodes. It will be available on DVD later. BBC describes the series:

The drama begins with Jesus' prophetic entrance through the East Gate, following him to his crucifixion and its startling aftermath
