I noted all the points about the BBC above and do you know what? So did the vicar.
At the service this morning he talked about CS Lewis and the Narnia Stories and the fact that the BBC, despite the success of the first 3 dropped plans to broadcast the last 4. The last one was The Final Battle and it did not fit the BBCs anti-war anti-Christian movement.
He said that the Christian movement was the most realistic as it recognised sin and the propensity of war. No war is utopian and not in the bibble.
