Looking forward to watching this on Friday,
9pm BBC 3
The Manchester Passion will retell the last days of Jesus' life using popular music from the cream of Manchester bands, including M People, New Order, The Smiths, Oasis and James. The songs will be given a vibrant new twist and be performed by the characters in the story accompanied by a 16-piece orchestra. There'll also be a giant screen which will show scenes from around the city, including a procession of people bearing an eight-metre long Cross, making their way through the streets of Manchester to join the drama for its finale.
Thanks for the heads up Ben. Jason.

Man that is so amazing. I wish we had something like that in the states.
