Not ones to take a hint, or learn from past mistakes, Christian Voice has threatened (via) to take direct action against the BBC over a proposed TV show.

Andrew Lloyd-Webber is planning a fourth instalment of his casting show in which hopefuls audition for a lead role in one of his musicals. This time around it’s the turn of Jesus Christ Superstar and the prospect of Lloyd-Webber telling people “you could be Jesus” has Stephen Green (the only confirmed member of Christian Voice) wetting himself with excitement.

The prospect of the BBC auditioning pop hopefuls in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber for the role of Jesus has led a Christian group to promise Jerry Springer the Opera-style protests and evangelism if the project goes ahead.

Christian Voice said [on Friday] that they might even try to get young Christians into the audition room itself to share the Gospel of the real Jesus Christ with Lord Lloyd-Webber himself.

And we all know where Green’s Jerry Springer campaign ended up.
