mrbouffant Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Splendid! Was this recorded as an Easter Special last November when the Xmas Special was recorded too?!!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6494831.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

contrabordun Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 That's superb. I had to listen again with the real words open in front of me to convince myself it wasn't redubbed trickery. Should be required viewing for choirs and congregations everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vox Humana Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I've just emailed this to my choir with a warning that I'm going to bring a camcorder to next week's practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidb Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Theres been a lot of fuss about it, but it has been standard for many years for Christmas and Easter to be filmed back - to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lee Blick Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't see the problem with this. Most television shows are recorded in advance of transmission. Has Christianity become so banal and pointless to be so worried about when a religious programme is being recorded? Hello??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Cynic Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 It is, yes. Scented Mum's Brie....?!! !!! yeah, all right, I get it now. A bit dense that one, or am I more stupid than usual today? [Rhetorical.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't see the problem with this. Most television shows are recording in advance of transmission. Has Christianity become so banal and pointless to be so worried about when a religious programme is being recorded? Hello??? The truth of Christianity is, of course, timeless and ineffable. But a Christian service should also be relevant. The longer the gap between recording and broadcast the greater the chance of the programme becoming irrelevant. Imagine an Easter Songs of Praise making no reference to, for example, a recent major tragedy on the scale of 9/11. I suppose the beancounters at the BBC have appropriate actuarial tables and it's probably cheaper in the long run to bin the occasional irrelevant pre-record and record a new one where necessary.

There are, of course, other ways of dealing with these eventualities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
