Everyone comments on how time seems to fly by and how true it seems to be • or is it that we are busier and the time goes and it feels that way? What will you be doing for Christmas? What plans have you made? This really all depends on how we are and to some extent what the weather is like. One year in the Bromley Circuit, I looked after one of the smaller churches in the circuit. I persuaded the church to have a Christmas Day Service. They didn’t usually have a service on unless Christmas Day fell on a Sunday. That would be every seven years unless there was a leap year and then it would be more than that. So I planned the service out and I was ready the night before, but I lost my voice and I wasn’t well enough to anything, so I had to phone up a Local Preacher, a member of the Church and get them to do it, I was at home feeling sheepish. All the best plans are made even for Christmas and it sometimes happens that we are not well or unexpected things happen and derail our plans. Take for instance Lockerbie in Scotland a sleepy place, not known to many until a terrorist bomb blew up an aeroplane bound for the USA over the town – many people were killed, passengers and residents of Lockerbie, people who were watching their TVs that night. So unexpected things happen, and we will continue to be caught out by good things and bad that happen to us at times. Christmas seemed to be cancelled that year in Scotland. This is the same with the coming of Jesus –everyone seemed to be caught out. Even though the Messiah’s coming had been prophesied about for centuries the people who should have been ready for his coming weren’t. Herod’s advisors weren’t watching for the signs. If they were they wouldn’t have been caught out. It was only when the Wise Men appear that King Herod was alerted to the fact that a very special child had been born. Then of course he wanted to kill the baby, to ensure that no one would take his throne away from him. There used to be a programme called Tales of the Unexpected on ITV on Sunday evenings… I’m told that the man in his chair by the fire who used to introduce the tales was Roald Dahl. Some really different plays and films came on. Jesus’ birth was unexpected by so many people. May be, we may do the most unexpected thing in the world this Christmas, and invite Jesus Christ into our lives and worship and serve him for the rest of our lives. The Carol ‘In the bleak mid winter’ puts it well “If I were a wise man I would do my part Yet what I can I give him – Give my heart”. We pray that you will have a most blessed and peaceful Christmas and you will find Jesus Christ the Son of God is with you as celebrate and welcome into your life. From Deacon Gary Hoare. ADVENT HOUSE GROUPS Once again we are running House Groups during Advent. These will be held on Tuesdays, 30th November and the 7th and 14th December at the home of Marion Biggs 27 Lydiard Croft. This year we will be using as a basis for our thinking a book entitled ‘Joyful Christianity’ by Cally Hammond which explores the events before, during and immediately following the birth of Jesus. All our welcome to join our company of regulars. If you are interested please let either myself or Marion know. Tim Lansdown Worship Committee Chairman BITS & PIECES Page 5 Y' Men's Club of Hanham.

Many thanks Rosemary & Nesta Page 6 NURSERY RHYME NO 47 The world is so full Of a number of things I’m sure we should all be As happy as kings. I am writing this just after the clocks have gone back heralding the onset of winter with those months of long dark nights and cold days ahead. We survived Halloween with no damage to our property and now are enduring what I call ‘firework fortnight’, for that’s how long it seems to lasts. Yes, as you have guessed this is not my favourite time of the year. Yet, how curmudgeonly it is to complain. Even in these dark and dreary days we have so much to be thankful for. In worship we have twice recently sung the hymn ‘ Think of a world without any flowers’ (HP572) which reminds us of the wonderful world we’ve been given. I was particularly moved by two lines from the last verse: •‘Thanks for our church and all the love we find here, thanks for this place and all its promise true’. Life can seem hard at times but remember the prophet Habakkuk who even when the harvest failed could say ‘yet I will rejoice in the Lord (3:17). Every morning I step out of our house at around 7.30 and whatever the weather walk to the newsagent. At that moment I try always to remember to thank God for His gift of a new day. In the coming weeks we again have the opportunity to thank Him for the greatest gift of all, the coming among us of the incarnate God in the person of Jesus. No•one complains more about the commercialisation of Christmas than I do but let us try, through all the distractions of Yuletide to remember and give thanks. Emanuel, God with us. TJL CRIB SERVICE Page 7 4pm Christmas Eve Never mind the decorations, the shopping & wrapping, this is the start of Christmas.

  • Faith Before the Flood: the Ark

    Faith Before the Flood: the Ark

    Faith before the flood: The Ark Gerry Gallen SJ Tonight, Monday 30 March, BBC One will screen Tony Jordan’s new version of a biblical epic, The Ark. It is sensitively written and full of family drama, and what theology it does contain is at odds with the 2014 blockbuster, Noah; but its depiction of faith may not be quite what we would expect. How can this adaptation of the iconic story speak to Christians in Holy Week? BBC One has chosen to hoping to find some insights dedicate its post-EastEnders slot about salvation theory carved on the Monday of Holy Week into the walls of the ark might to a new 90-minute dramatisati- be disappointed. on of an iconic biblical chapter.

Photograph: Frantzesco Kangaris for the Guardian "I'm really hating that I'm saying this, because I know that I've written your headline for you," Tony Jordan says, with a good-humoured giggle. "But I think we should bring Eldorado back." The former EastEnders series consultant is in ebullient form, arguing for the return of the BBC's doomed early 90s soap, Eldorado, sent to an early grave after only one year on screen. "It's a fantastic brand – although obviously not in the way it was first done, and I wrote the first episode so I'm allowed to say that," he laughs. Jordan recounts watching the director's monitor and realising how bad the opening show was: "It was one of the worst things I'd seen in my life. I remember phoning one of the other writers and saying: 'We're in shit. It's like fucking Thunderbirds. We're in trouble'." And yet it did improve. By the end of its run the viewing figures were stronger, and there was a sense of affection for the soap, he claims. Eldorado 2011 would be a completely different thing – but the idea, Jordan believes, was sound.

    INVESTIGATING the STYLE, FORM and GENRE of PERIOD DRAMA in 2010S BRITISH TELEVISION

    A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2020 HERITAGE AND POST-HERITAGE: INVESTIGATING THE STYLE, FORM AND GENRE OF PERIOD DRAMA IN 2010s BRITISH TELEVISION WILL STANFORD This image is unavailable. Please consult reference on page ii for further information. ABBISS ii ABSTRACT This project analyses six period drama productions in British television of the 2010s, expanding Claire Monk’s term of ‘post-heritage’ into a critical framework. Its case studies establish a cycle of progressive representations of the past in recent television drama, which operate against the assumptions of ‘heritage’ nostalgia forwarded by earlier scholars. The post-heritage framework consists of five guiding elements: interrogation, subversion, subjectivity, self-consciousness and ambiguity. These inform the analysis of the project’s case studies, while also allowing the existence of post-heritage elements to be recognised in earlier period drama productions. The thesis is split into three distinct parts, which allow the heritage and post-heritage elements of the case studies to be associated with the characteristics and theoretical concepts of television drama. The first chapter of each part evaluates the institutional context of its case study, identifying its impact upon production through textual examples from the programme. The second chapter of each part focuses on close analysis, demonstrating the extent to which post- heritage elements can assist innovation in television drama. Part I focuses on televisual style, identifying the naturalist, realist and modernist aesthetics of television drama. Scholarly sources are used to connect these with periods of British television history.

  • The Nativity

    The Nativity

    Chair: Dr Elaine Storkey Director: Andrew Graystone THE NATIVITY A major new drama series for Christmas from BBC1 Briefing from the Church and Media Network In the week before Christmas 2010 BBC1 will broadcast The Nativity, a dramatic re-telling of the Biblical stories of the birth of Jesus. The series will be shown in peak time and will be seen by many millions of people. Frequently Asked Questions When will the programmes be broadcast? As is normal in television the dates and times of the broadcasts will not be confirmed until ten days before the transmission. However, we know that the series will air in four episodes of 30 minutes each. They will be shown before 9pm in the days before Christmas. All the broadcasts will be on BBC1. How does the series treat the gospel stories? This series is a serious attempt to understand and retell the events and relationships of the Nativity as they are recorded in the gospels. The story focuses on the relationship between Mary and Joseph, and the way they deal with the news of the birth of Jesus. The gospel accounts have been “fleshed-out” in a moving and thoroughly credible way. Church leaders from a range of denominations have been given a preview showing of the series, and were universally enthusiastic about it. Like the characters involved, viewers will be left trying to understand what has happened, and what it might mean.
