Watching 'Jesus Of Nazareth'

My wife and I watched part one of Franco Zeffirelli's Jesus of Nazareth tonight.   

The brilliant 1977 TV series, co-written by Zeffirelli, Suso Cecchi d' Amico and novelist Anthony Burgess, starred Robert Powell as Jesus. The series also has a fine supporting cast with some of the world's best actors. 

We'll probably watch the rest of the series tomorrow after a family dinner.

We've seen the series before, but it is worth watching again after several years.     

Anthony Burgess: Confessions Of The Hack Trade

The British newspaper the Guardian republished a piece by Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange, Inside Mr Enderby, Kingdom of the Wicked, and Earthly Powers, in conjunction with the new Observer/Anthony Burgess Prize for Arts Journalism.

Anthony Burgess was an interesting man and a great writer in my view. I've read and enjoyed nearly all of his novels.

Note: I confess to being something of a hack book reviewer.
