BBC to dramatise Life Of Brian controversy in new film.
A BBC comedy drama that explores the controversy surrounding the release of Monty Python's 1979 film, Life of Brian, has been commissioned.
The comedy movie revolved around a man called Brian Cohen, who was mistaken for the Messiah.
At the time, church leaders protested over the production claiming it mocked Christ and it was subsequently banned in several countries.
Holy Flying Circus will be broadcast in the autumn on BBC Four.
I loved that film and remember being allowed to stay up late to watch the original Monty Python programmes back in the late 60's. Will the 'comedy drama' be as funny I wonder?
