Anyone know what was alternative about it? A traditional nativity in Bethlehem is about as un-alternative as you can get

How many have you been to where josepth was ruffed up at the border crossing ? Pretty sure that wasnt refferenced in the one I did as a child.

Meh. Not his best pun is it.

The 27 million quid Boyle got for creating the Olympic ceremony helped a lot. Plus of course all the volunteers.

For that kind of budget who couldn't create an opening ceremony.

That’s like giving someone £27m and saying you couldn’t fail to
make a successful movie. It obviously helps but it was a
massive challenge to deliver something good although expectations were quite low. It is worth watching though.

It’s who’s behind the production that counts

Maybe not, but possibly he was thinking bigger than a pun ? There was a hour show on prime time sunday tv and probably millions watched it... that sounds like a success to me.

LOL, you are not impressed huh


i was never really a nativity fan, and having to watch my 4 kids do their show every year has not really improved my views

In truth any bit of humour works for me

My expectations are clearly not as demanding as yours when even the title doesn't sit well with you


Put a complaint in to the BBC, you might get on points of view . (is that stilll on?)

If you ever get to see the BBC 'Imagine' documentary of Danny Boyle directing the London Olympics opening ceremony it's well worth a watch. Seeing the creative process against the interference of just about everyone and everything it's staggering what he pulled off. Thought the Banksy one was very average in comparison although some good footage of the area.

For that kind of budget who couldn't create an opening ceremony.

And it was so boring .. just like Sunday nights trash ..

Why do you go through your trash on Sunday nights?

I thought both the Olympic ceremony and the Alternativity where very enjoyable.

27m on a opening ceremony is scandalous. The BBC are crap at doing documentarys.. should of used nexflix or someone who will keep u gripped . It failed on all four fronts for me

I never found it boing. I watched it all and to get a smuch out of it as possible regarding the Palestinians and their views of it all. I'm not remotely interested in Danny Boyles input or what he said. Nor that fat woman who I think is Jo Brooks. It's the BBC after all and what the docu showed is how much of a circus surrounds Banksy or Banksy has surrounded himself with. For the Palestinians I think any exposure about their situation on mainstream television is better than none. Despite the rhetoric about the BBC being anti Israel etc etc. The opposite is true.

Should have...

I enjoyed it and didn't think it was so scandalous.

😂😂 points of view
Proper telly

[oldschoolbmx]

The thing is. The nativity wasn’t put on for tv but for the locals to enjoy. The documentary gave an insight into the the life they are living behind the wall.

I thought it was a great doc.

[Spenie]

Enjoyed it but preferred to watch the new League of Gentlemen

[onelondon]

I thought it was a great documentary. An insight into a topic which I'm sure some of those would not have seen otherwise.

[Boyle44]

Well worth the watch, thought it was very good 👍🏻

Hey guys, I saw this poster from WOH listed several time on ebay, is a legit print?

Definitely not.

I've inspected one up close and the quality is dreadful. One thing all the listings on eBay have in common is the poor quality seems to be due to poor quality photos of the print, but in actual fact it's just a shoddy reproduction of the image.

Stay away.
