My Edit

[edit]

I have corrected the article from my records of the various productions, originally obtained from the BBC's 'Programmes-as-Broadcast' (until 1965 all actors in the serial were uncredited except for Jesus). I need to standardise the dates when I have a little more time - the only date I have corrected from memory was that the Raymond Raikes production was recorded in 1967. It certainly wasn't done in 1975 as Alec Clunes, Vivienne Chatterton, Rolf Lefebvre were no longer alive. The article also previously omitted the name of John Westbrook who played Jesus, which is sad as it's the best thing I ever heard him do. The current (Jan 2009) Radio Times similarly implies that the Jesus in this version is Gabriel Woolf, which it could have been but wasn't. And their announcers do not know how to pronounce many of the actors' names - Rolf Lefebvre and Raf de la Torre among them.
