"Make me a christian"

[star-warrior]

No, not me, but it's a series that'll start airing on UK tv from Sunday 10th August 2008.

The Reverend George Hargreaves thinks Britain is in a state of moral decline and that a return to a more 'Christian' way of life would stop the rot. He and his team of mentors aim to show how by convincing a group of non-Christian volunteers to live by the teachings of the Bible for three weeks.
In this three-part series, a group of volunteers from around Leeds in West Yorkshire give up their normal lives and attempt to live like Christians for three weeks. They're not obvious candidates for such an experiment - there's:

• a biker who's a tattooist and a militant atheist
• a young man who was brought up Christian until he was 12, and now has a girlfriend who is 10 weeks' pregnant
• a lap-dancing manager who can't live without continually acquiring expensive designer shoes
• middle-class parents who are so professionally busy that they have hardly any time to spend with their children
• a man in his 20s who, unbeknown to his girlfriend, goes out every week drinking and womanising
• a man who found Christianity unfulfilling and has converted to Islam
• a lesbian who sometimes sleeps with men.

Their mentors come from different branches of Christianity but they share a number of core beliefs.

Gimmicky, IMO.
