The Manchester Passion was a BBC3 tv production for Easter 2006. A modern day setting for the story of the Crucification, filmed live in the streets of Manchester and set to Manchester music. It's an hour long but well worth setting aside time to watch (or to see again) if you are at home over Easter, regardless of your religious beliefs (or lack of).
Music included Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division); Search For A Hero (M People); Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now (The Smiths); Blue Monday (New Order) and Wonderwall (Oasis). Tim Booth of James played Judas Iscariot.
This sounds wonderful Chrissy!
