This torrent was uploaded from www.TheBox.bz (signup is open and free) - the home of all British TV

Mini tv series produced by Sir Lew Grade's ITC corporation for ITV

A host of very familiar faces star.

Originally made for TV in 1977, this in-depth (six hours plus) version of Jesus' life is so thorough that the first hour is devoted solely to the story of his birth. The film doesn't skimp on some of the other landmark events of this famous story either. Director Franco Zeffirelli gives more than 12 minutes screen time each to the Last Supper and the Crucifixion. Passages of the Bible are quoted verbatim, the locations have a Palestine-like authenticity, and, aside from some of the principals (Robert Powell as Jesus, Olivia Hussey as Mary, and Stacy Keach as Barabbas), many of the non-Roman characters are actually played by Semitic-looking actors. Zeffirelli diligently provides the sociopolitical background that gave rise to Jesus' following and the crisis in belief it caused for the people of Israel (and one or two Romans). While not graphic by today's standards, some of the scenes--baby boys being ripped from their mothers' arms and slaughtered, nails being driven into Jesus' hands--may disturb young and/or sensitive children. --Kimberly Heinrichs

This is a scene download I've done and it comprises 4 divx.avi files - I'm not sure of their originality but the quality appears to be a dvd rip.

The total size for this download is 3.03 GB

This was compulsive viewing back in 1977 - I haven't a clue why this hasn't been broadcast in this form since.

This is what we should be watching at Easter.
