Each Christmas and Easter season, History and other cablenets air a number of documentaries on various aspects of the Bible, usually featuring talking-head experts and iffy-looking dramatic re-creations.
Often these productions take a skeptical look at the historicity or accuracy or veracity of biblical accounts, as if the last thing in the world a documentary would want to be seen doing is taking anything in the Bible at face value.
But skepticism was the last thing on the minds of reality TV mogul Mark Burnett ("The Apprentice," "Survivor") and his wife, actress Roma Downey ("Touched by an Angel"), when they set out as executive producers of "The Bible," airing Sundays from March 3 to March 31, which is Easter Sunday this year.

Veteran Olympian Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards has won ITV's celebrity diving competition 'Splash!'
His triumph comes 25 years after he shot to fame with the world's worst Olympic ski jump at the winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada.
He knocked actor Jake Canuso into second place and Linda Barker, of the BBC's 'Changing Rooms', into third.
The Eagle landed perfectly with his first dive and taking a maximum 30 points for the two-and-a-half somersault from the 10 metre board.
It had not been an easy week for Edwards who lost his confidence in training with a series of painful belly and back flops.
But with his game face on and after his flawless showing, celebrity judge Jo Brand told him: "You just need to master hang gliding and you could be the next Milk Tray man."

Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards has won the first series of 'Splash!' The former Olympic skier won the public vote last night (02.02.13) on the celebrity diving show which featured fellow Olympian Tom Daley as a mentor. The final of the show saw judges Andy Banks, Jo Brand and Leon Taylor each give the 49-year-old sportsman a perfect 10 for a combined score of 30. Leon, a former diving Olympian, said: ''You're not only pushing the boundaries, but you're smashing them.'' 'Benidorm' star Jake Canuso was the first runner-up, whose grand total of 55.5 points was only 3.5 behind the winner. Meanwhile, TV decorator Linda Barker...

Linda Barker, Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and Jake Canuso are through to the Splash! final. Interior designer Barker and skiing legend Edwards were voted through to the final by the public. However, Benidorm star Canuso was forced to take part in a dive-off against comedian Omid Djalili and Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson. Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo was forced to announce his retirement from the contest early in the semi-final, after aggravating a pre-existing injury during a dive on (more)...

Omid Djalili's odds of winning Splash! have fallen dramatically, according to Ladbrokes. The comedian's odds of triumphing in the series have dropped from 40/1 to 5/1 following the first show. He is now third favourite to win, behind actor Jake Canuso and Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo. Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Omid's odds plummeted quicker than he did off the 10m board and his swan dive has firmly secured his place as a competition favourite." After the show - presented by Tom Daley - received more than 6 million viewers for its premiere, Ladbrokes has cut the odds of the final beating last year's X Factor final to 4/1 (from 8/1).

On one of the filming days for Naachle London, director Neville Raschid was anticipating a glorious, sunny day at Kew Gardens in preparation of outdoor scenes, as well as inside the infamous Greenhouse. But once the crew began shooting the sequences inside the Greenhouse, the heavens opened up, inducing the wettest day of the year instead of the hottest!
As the crew were setting up between shots, British screen heartthrob Jake Canuso informed Neville that he was happy to dance in the rain and duly stepped outside. Neville then asked Fagun Thakrar, Jake’s co-star, and she was equally willing to take up the challenge, after looking outside to see Jake already getting his hair wet and practicing his moves in the downpour. And by pure serendipity, some of the most stunning shots of the film were created… with entirely natural rain and no need for rain machines!

The writers at Bollyspice were invited to an exclusive press conference for the first ever Bollywood/British film Naachle London – effectively a British production, but heavily inspired from old school Bollywood with relevant doses of melodrama, music, dance and family values. The film is directed by Neville Raschid (Ealing Comedy, Lost Dogs) and stars Raj Ghatak, Jake Canuso, Fagun Thakrar, Alyssa Sharma and Sofia Hayat.
The film tells the clichéd yet ever appealing tale of a rich girl and a not so well-to-do boy falling in love against parental opposition. At the same time, it cleverly weaves current issues like the recession, interracial relationships, and the complexities behind broken homes in Asian communities with the obligatory stylised, catchy musical numbers which are a pre-requisite for any mainstream Bollywood film today.
