Exodusit looks like on C4 on monday at 10pm there is a drama which looks to be dystopian telling of the book of exodus set in margate, makeing the old Dreamland funfair into a ghetto/camp  (way to subvert ones childhood )

i got to say all in all this was one powerful bit of drama, ok the context could of been set out a little better and the message/end a little out of sorts, but very good never the less. it was very poignant to have that kind of 1984 kind of drama set in a place i know quite well, very much like the ace children of men, which again is set in london/ home counties. if this comes out on dvd i will be getting it. any one else see this?

Maybe I should have stuck with it longer then.
I watched about the first 15 mins and thought "oh my god, he's called Pharoah - is it really going to be that heavy handed?". It seemed like the kind of thing that worthy RE teachers get you to make up plays about at school.
Channel 4 tends to repeat stuff on More 4 though, so if I see it I'll give it another look.

i must say about 10 mins in i did think to myself "R.E teachers are going to adore this" the writeing was a little off sometimes for sure. but what was good about it was first its sense of drama, for me it never got "silly" with that said it did get a little strange at times.
