YouTube Tuesday: Manchester Passion
The most bizarre event to happen in Manchester this year was definitely the BBC Three-organised Manchester Passion back in April. The one-hour show was watched by 500,000 people, with a further 600,000 tuning in for the repeat.
This nine-minute clip below should amaze and confuse in equal measures, or you can skip straight to the Passion’s crowning glory, Jesus singing Love Will Tear Us Apart.

I agree, it was the most thorougly bewildering thing to simultaneously grace our streets and screens – and yet so many people seemed to enjoy it.
I was even criticised by friends (who I thought would have been of similar opinion) for not entering into the spirit of things(?)
The whole thing left me feeling a bit embarassed really, and I only watched it (in part) from the comfort and isolation of my own home.
The very thought of Jesus bellowing out “I am the resurrection” is actually making me shudder this moment… ooof, I’m going to get some fresh air and some lunch.

Apparently there’s a Liverpool Passion in the planning for 2008, I think (Capital Of Culture hoo-ha, no doubt)…

Hey guys,
I have an iMac G5 running tiger 10.4.7 and I an having a wierd problem. Whenever I go to a site that has an embedded youtube, flash or some kind of video, there is no sound. If it a quicktime file there is no problem. There is not sound no matter what broswer I use, firefox, camino, safari, or shiira. And keep in mind that about a week ago I was not having this issue.
Help Would be awesome
Thanks!
