The Ten Commandments (1971 TV series)

The Ten Commandments was a British television drama series broadcast in 1971 by the BBC. It presented a dramatization of stories from the Old Testament, focusing on ten different individuals and their interpretations of God's commandments. Each of the ten episodes centered around a different commandment and a different individual. The series starred a variety of notable British actors of the era. While sharing a title with the famous 1956 film, it was a distinct production with its own script and cast. It was known for its dramatic storytelling and attempts to grapple with complex moral and religious themes. Due to its age and relative obscurity compared to the better-known film adaptation, it has not been widely available in recent years, making information about specific episodes and cast members somewhat scarce.
