The Passion (TV serial) The Passion is a television drama serial produced by the BBC and HBO Films in association with Deep Indigo Productions. It tells the story of the last week in the life of Jesus. The serial was first proposed by Peter Fincham in 2006, on the success of the contemporary-set Manchester Passion. Writer Frank Deasy and producer Nigel Stafford-Clark were inspired to make a drama that opened up the story beyond the "vacuum" it is often told in. They did this by expanding the roles of Pontius Pilate and Caiaphas, and exploring the politics of Judea at the time. Deasy and Stafford-Clark were aided by scholar Mark Goodacre, with whom they put together an extensive research manual about the topic.
A.D. (miniseries) A.D. (1985) is a British/Italian miniseries in six parts which adapts the narrative in the "Acts of the Apostles". Considered as the third and final installment in a TV miniseries trilogy which began with "Moses the Lawgiver" (1974) and Franco Zeffirelli's "Jesus of Nazareth" (1977), it was adapted from Anthony Burgess's novel "The Kingdom of the Wicked", which was itself a sequel to Burgess's book "Man of Nazareth", on which was based Zeffirelli's movie. The title is the abbreviation for "Anno Domini" (Medieval Latin, "In the year of the Lord"), as the events occur in the first years of the Christian Era.
