30 second nativity

Here's the winner of the Churches Advertising Network 30-second Christmas competition.



the winner, Frankie Hipwell-Larkin, has even been on the Today programme to talk about it. Well done him. Any chance of a whole Bible version? The 3 runners up (all 30s audio clips) are also on the CAN site for your enjoyment. I have to say their campaign this year is top notch.

However:
The nativity story is beautiful, it has captured people's imaginations for years and years and years because of its innocence and sweetness and romance; it's heart-warming, it's pathetic (in the true sense of the word) - it's a gem, really: by far the most appealing bit of the bible. Enhanced with enough candles and Christmas carols (not to mention Remy Martin and mince pies), it can bring a tear even to this cynical atheist's eye! And this exercise has stripped it of all that and degraded it to something utterly crass and charmless. They really don't have a clue, do they? They can't be trusted even with their own most valuable assets. from this thread.
