I think alferret's point about the Jesus myth is a legitimate opinion to have, but not one I would agree with (unless you're distinguishing between the different viewpoints). It could have been a direction for the programme but it was filmed from a modern day Jewish perspective which I think was good for programme. It's got a different presenter every week, so there's probably the odd one anyone would find fascinating. The only other thing is I would say contrary to what other posters have said on here the series has very little to do with the history of faith of ancestors or otherwise, at this point in the series it seems to be very much about history or history of the religion, not faith.
Ann Widdecombe on selected for the reformation really made me laugh
. I'm sure that one will be a good 'un though.
