The Bible (2013)
7/10
Good enough - but the advert by one of the sponsors is cringe-making!
14 December 2013
I am a Christian, but I must admit I often find these sorts of series not to my taste. That said, I feel that it is well done and while it is impossible to cover the whole of the bible what I have seen so far is true to the word and spirit of the scriptures.

The bit I cannot stand is the advert by one of the sponsors - 'What's in the Bible' used by channel 5 here in the UK. Its obviously aimed at children (the advert that is) but the programme goes out at 9pm. The advert is so awful, its embarrassing to be associated with it - its about 35 years outdated, voiced terribly and badly illustrated. I cringe when I see it, as I'm afraid if I weren't a Christian the advert alone would put me off! So please ignore that - Christians are contemporary people, not all of us are elderly spinsters or small children!
