It's about time someone did it. I mean look at this place, it's all knackered. Of course, I'm talking about God, the super-being who created everything. In a new BBC drama He appears in human form to stand trial for some of the barbarities he is perceived to have created. What's more, it's written by a bloke called Frank Cottrell Boyce (he wrote Welcome To Sarajavo, Hilary And Jackei and 24 Hour Party People) and it's his first television project for a decade. Excited yet?

Cottrell Boyce's script features prisoners in Auschwitz, whose faith has been tested by the evil of the Nazis. They put God on trial, and contend that He has broken his covenant of caring and protecting people. The trial takes place in a place camp blockhouse over the course of one day, during which a selection of these prisoners are taken away to the gas chambers.

Light and frothy this ain't, but what a premise and what an incredible piece of drama this sounds.

And look at the cast - there's Sir Antony Sher, Ruper Graves, Hollywood star Stellan Skarsgard, Lorcan Cranitch and Dominic Cooper. It will be on BBC Two in August.
