I read in the paper this Sunday that there’s a man onto history’s ultimate cold case.
Who exactly crucified Jesus Christ?
Sure we know the story from the gospels but I think we have all played Chinese Whispers enough times to wonder if St Paul actually said; "And lo, then Jesus was taken with the cavalry, given a crown with horns and told bruce he was fired."
There’s always interesting theories thrown up around religious stories. I think my favourite take on the sandelled one recently was Elton John declaring that Jesus was a homosexual. Now I’m a total f*g hag and civil union celebrant but even I found that hard to swallow. I mean ok maybe he wore a crown, a hessian MuMu and hung around with 12 guys but I think that’s Dwight rewriting history through rose tinted giant glasses.
So anyway Ashton what’s your point?
Well it is of course Easter this weekend, the time of year all this intrigue played out AND if you’re into deducing mysteries such as this, sifting through clues and find an English accent sexy you should tune into UKTV’s Whodunit weekend.
I find when I flop down on the couch and switch on the Intelligent box if a British murder mystery/cold case/sexy accented type scenario is on I’m very easily entertained for an hour. So just imagine how much entertainment can be derived from four whole days of Wire in the Blood, Silent Witness, Foyle’s War, Waking the Dead, New Tricks AND Murder in Mind.
You can even weave it into your Easter. Make your boyfriend sort through evidence in an effort to locate the Easter eggs in your backyard. Make your mother follow a trail of raisins to the prize of a Hot Cross Bun and make Elton John search for the fairies in the bottom of your garden.
Just remember to sleep.
