BBC pulls plug on Bible drama series

A lavish BBC1 dramatisation of key stories from the Bible has been postponed indefinitely because of "funding and timing" issues.The Bible drama has become the latest BBC project to be dropped as the corporation faces up to the tough economic climate.Last week, it emerged that Nicholas Lyndhurst's BBC1 comedy After You've Gone and BBC3 comedy drama Phoo Action had both been axed at an unusually late stage. The cuts suggests that the BBC is having to take a long hard look at its development and production slate as it faces up to a £140m funding shortfall caused by the decline in the commercial property market, rising inflation, and rocketing utility bills.The six-part Bible drama was originally planned for broadcast on BBC1 next year and would have recreated epic events from the Bible such as Noah's Flood the murder of Abel by his brother Cain, and David's slaying of Goliath. Other stories from the New Testament were also to be considered for inclusion.The plan had been to narrate the stories with the voices of well-known actors. Sir Ian McKellen, Michael Gambon and Kenneth Branagh were rumoured to be in the frame for voiceover roles.In April, the BBC announced that it planned to dramatise iconic and important stories from the Bible and that the project would be funded with the help of international co-producers.However, the BBC has confirmed the project has now been postponed indefinitely because of "funding and timing" issues.A BBC spokeswoman said some potential co-production funding had been in place for the series but all potential partners had dropped out this year. One of these was the Greek broadcaster SKAI. It is thought that Italian broadcasters were also in discussion with the BBC over collaborating on the series.The spokeswoman said that the BBC "remained committed" to making a drama series based on the Bible.The BBC has instead promised to begin again with pre-production work on a new drama about the Bible due to start next year. The new series will "start from scratch", according to a senior source, re-examining all aspects of the now defunct series.It is also unlikely that the new Bible project will remain in the hands of BBC Manchester, which had spent the past year developing the series and seeking co-production funding from international broadcasters.The BBC spokeswoman was unable to give a likely broadcast date for the new Bible series.BBC1's Bible drama followed the successful four-part dramatisation of the last days of Jesus, The Passion, broadcast earlier this year. Co-starring James Nesbitt as Pontius Pilate, the mini series averaged 3.9 million viewers across Easter week.· To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 7239 9857.
