BBC Making British TV History With First Ever Live Eid Ceremony
The BBC is to broadcast an Eid ceremony from a mosque in Bradford for the first ever time as part of a Faith & Hope season.
“I would hope this signals how alert we are to our religious output.” Firecracker Scotland is producing with Amplify Consulting, which is run by one of Scalchi’s predecessors, Aaqil Ahmed. These riots were caused in part by a false conspiracy theory claiming the murderer of three girls at a dance class was a Muslim terrorist who came from outside the UK. For the Faith & Hope season, Scalchi also revealed the BBC’s latest Gareth Malone series, which will see the famous choirmaster bring Handel’s ‘Messiah’ to new audiences, along with the previously-announced Amol Rajan Goes to the Ganges [working title], as the University Challenge host joins up to 500 million pilgrims from all over the globe for the world’s largest religious festival.
