This was the best documentary the 12 year-old me ever saw at the Gaumont Frome with my Dad. Thank you to Rob Hutton and Duncan Weldon for letting me share it with them. And you!

The hill that I will die on, out of ammunition and waving my weapon pointlessly at the Overwhelming Hordes of Wrong, is that the King James translation is a Bad Translation, specifically designed to keep the Bible out of the hands of ordinary people.

This is currently on the BBC iPlayer but I only managed to watch five minutes of it last night, so will never know if it reaches 'so bad it's good' status. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
