Yes and that was one of the clever but never discussed points - if she was a virgin the birth would have been even more painful. |

Yes, well done to all concerned. Amazing how such a well-known story can be given such a fresh treatment, and seen from a slightly different perspective.
The birth was never quite as dramatic when I was in the school Nativity play ! |

Final episode; very well done; BBC should be proud of this. |

Our PVR chose not to record tonight's episode, which is annoying but I can catch up either via torrent or iPlayer. I'm enjoying this immensely, even though I'm a long established atheist. The religious aspect is wonderfully underplayed {I just loved the almost down-at-heel Gabriel} and the girl who plays Mary is wonderful, just sort of joyful and happy {remember I haven't yet seen ep 3, where I suspect Joseph is going to give her a bit of a hard time}. This is, I'm sure how religion ought to touch peoples' lives. It's such a pity that it so rarely does. |

Herod is beautifully manic |
