Manchester Passion

Last night (Good Friday) on BBC3 Manchester Passion was performed live. It was bascially an hours live performance through the streets of Manchester city centre up to Walford Square of the last hours of Jesus’ life. The whole thing was done to modern pop songs, which included Robbie Williams - Angels, Oasis - Don’t look back in Anger, M People - Search for a Hero, James - Sit Down and many more. Whilst this was going on a huge 8 Foot neon white cross was being carried through the streets by people from all walks of life.

It was great to see something so different on TV, and also something that most people in life could relate to, rather than to switch to another channel because it is “religious”, boring or irrelevant. The production team did a great job, as did the performers.
