Jesus of Nazareth
In this opening podcast I look at Franco Zeffirelli’s 1977 TV film Jesus of Nazareth. For many people this is the greatest version of Jesus’s life ever made, others however, see some flaws…

Came to your site via Ron Reeds comment on Image forum. I enjoyed your commentary on Jesus from Nazareth. When I was a teacher, I edited out a 90 version which I showed my confirmation classes every year. There are parts to this film that I practically know by heart. I have one technical comment to your sound track. There were some static noises which were irritating. Might have been my pc, but others I listen to come in clearly. So you might want to ask a few others if they get the same thing. No doubt it is something can be fixed. Larry

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the feedback - that’s something I’ll have to look into. Very much on a learning curve at the moment, so I expect the quality to significantly improve next time around. Please let me know if the problems occur again.
Kind regards
Matt Page
