The Nativity 14 Years, 7 Months ago
This looks like a good adaptation of the traditional story - on each evening (BBC1) from tonight for the next 4 nights. ITK's Thought For The Day - If Jesus starts his "second coming" this week, will He have the right paperwork for the checkpoints ?

Episode One was very good. I'm looking forward to the rest of it. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I see they are not botering with too many facts !
In episode 1 they stated that Mary was 16 (whereas the Bible clearly states she was 13) when she met Joseph. I don't think the Bible makes any mention of Mary's father, either.

Nevertheless, a good first episode.

Filmed in Morocco btw, JK !

Enjoying it - Episode 3 will be interesting; how can Mary convince Joseph she wasn't being shagged when she got pregnant? No hope in the Old Bailey 2001. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I think an "Angel of the Lord" will pop along JK, to reassure him ! Matthew 1:25 says of Joseph that he “knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son….” Therefore Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary until after Jesus was born. No longer a Virgin, then ? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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.

Final episode; very well done; BBC should be proud of this. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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 ! Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

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. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
