BIBLE NEWS
Bible News Ltd operated out
of premises at York House, Empire Way, Wembley. In 1977 it put out a boxed
set of recordings featuring stories from the 'Old Testament' treated
as though they were news events, with 'reports' from
the scene and 'comments' from 'experts in the studio' packed into twenty
fifteen-minute programmes in a 'Current Affairs' format. The set was available in cassette and LP
form. In order to promote it a 7" EP was made, which featured extracts
from the recordings and had a matrix / catalogue number of
BNS-001. The accents of the 'anchor man' and the various reporters and commentators are
English, so the set must have been a home-grown product. A further set, 'The Jesus Programmes', came out in the following year.
