There鈥檚 no such thing as ordinary. Joseph takes a 90-mile trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem to take part in a census with a young wife who is eight months pregnant. And then鈥�

Martin Jarvis directs Alex Jennings as the cool and colloquial angel Gabriel, who tells the story.

Poor Joseph! Some men might have resented being in this situation - asked 鈥榃hy me?鈥� But Joseph isn鈥檛 some men. Mary gives birth to Jesus in a stable in overcrowded Bethlehem. Like any new mother she is totally absorbed in the baby. Joseph tries to feel how he imagines he ought to feel, how to love this little bundle as if it were his own. Then some bizarre visitors start arriving.
