Storyline
Featured review
Like the previous reviewer, I too clearly remember the 1986 BBC television broadcast of Bill Bryden's The Holy City, I think around Good Friday. I too was enthralled by this modern version of the Passion, with its message - the only bit that can be seen again on the BBC I-player clip - of The Man riding through Glasgow proclaiming "what's the most important thing? gold, no! silver, no! you are! you are the people!" Great stuff, would love to see it all again some time. I don't think there has been anything else like this in recent years, even in religious broadcasting, which, now that it seems to be in decline, has become ever more traditional in its outlook.
