Adam Nicolson

A documentary by the BBC

Documentary telling the unexpected story of how arguably the greatest work of English prose ever written, the King James Bible, came into being. Author Adam Nicolson reveals why the making of this powerful book shares much in common with his experience of a very different national project - the Millennium Dome. The programme also delves into recently discovered 17th-century manuscripts, from the actual translation process itself, to show in rich detail what makes this Bible so good.

Since he was a boy, Adam Nicolson has been visiting remote islands that once filled with seabirds. After witnessing the decline of these colonies, he shares his perspective on the resilience of life in the face of catastrophe.
