Noted "radical left wing media outlet"* the British Broadcasting Corporation is to broadcast a reworking of the Xmas myth story tomorrow night in which Jesus is a Scouser. The show will be filmed in the streets of Liverpool and its environs and broadcast live and in real time. Only one scene, on a Mersey ferry, has been prerecorded. The story line goes something like this:
Mary is a waitress in a cafe (and a virgin). Joseph is an asylum seeker who has to go to Liverpool to get his visa renewed. Joseph is less than happy with her pregnancy irrespective of its divine source. The baby is born in a pub (real ale available for traditionalists) and the shepherds are homeless and sheepless. There is also music and dancing (I may have made up the dancing) with songs by The La's, The Shack and John Lennon.
I for one will not be watching.
*I confess that I have shamelessly stolen this designation from Bill-o O'Reilly
