		<description>A lavish BBC1 dramatisation of key stories from the Bible has been postponed indefinitely because of "funding and timing" issues.The Bible drama has become the latest BBC project to be dropped as the corporation faces up to the tough economic climate.Last week, it emerged that Nicholas Lyndhurst's BBC1 comedy After You've Gone and BBC3 comedy drama Phoo Action had both been axed at an unusually late stage. The cuts suggests that the BBC is having to take a long hard look at its development and production slate as it faces up to a £140m funding shortfall caused by the decline in the commercial property market, rising inflation, and rocketing utility bills.The six-part Bible drama was originally planned for broadcast on BBC1 next year and would have recreated epic events from the Bible such as Noah's Flood the murder of Abel by his brother Cain, and David's slaying of Goliath. Other stories from the New Testament were also to be considered for inclusion.The plan had been to narrate the stories with the voices of well-known actors. Sir Ian McKellen, Michael Gambon and Kenneth Branagh were rumoured to be in the frame for voiceover roles.In April, the BBC announced that it planned to dramatise iconic and important stories from the Bible and that the project would be funded with the help of international co-producers.However, the BBC has confirmed the project has now been postponed indefinitely because of "funding and timing" issues.A BBC spokeswoman said some potential co-production funding had been in place for the series but all potential partners had dropped out this year. One of these was the Greek broadcaster SKAI. It is thought that Italian broadcasters were also in discussion with the BBC over collaborating on the series.The spokeswoman said that the BBC "remained committed" to making a drama series based on the Bible.The BBC has instead promised to begin again with pre-production work on a new drama about the Bible due to start next year. The new series will "start from scratch", according to a senior source, re-examining all aspects of the now defunct series.It is also unlikely that the new Bible project will remain in the hands of BBC Manchester, which had spent the past year developing the series and seeking co-production funding from international broadcasters.The BBC spokeswoman was unable to give a likely broadcast date for the new Bible series.BBC1's Bible drama followed the successful four-part dramatisation of the last days of Jesus, The Passion, broadcast earlier this year. Co-starring James Nesbitt as Pontius Pilate, the mini series averaged 3.9 million viewers across Easter week.· To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 7239 9857.

		<description>An uplifting yet grimly realistic tale of a young chai-wallah scraping a life out of poverty was last night being talked of as an Oscar contender after it took three awards at the British independent film awards (Bifas).Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire, the story of a Mumbai teenage boy who astounds all around him by doing well on the Indian Who Wants To Be a Millionaire quiz show, won best film, best director and best newcomer for its British lead.In a night when honours were spread about, there were also three wins for Hunger, Steve McQueen's unflinching portrait of Bobby Sands and the hunger strikes; two for Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky; and one for In Bruges, Martin McDonagh's comedy about two Irish assassins sent to Belgium.But Boyle was the talk of the night. The former artistic director of the Royal Court theatre is already on many pundits' Oscar prediction lists after a film career which has seen him happily flip genres: from Edinburgh heroin addicts in Trainspotting to Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach to zombies in 28 Days Later.Last night he was named best director at the Bifas and Slumdog Millionaire was best film. The film's young lead, Harrow-born Dev Patel - best known to British audiences as Anwar in E4's Skins - won best newcomer.Slumdog Millionaire, written by The Full Monty's Simon Beaufoy, tells the story of a Mumbai street child. As he does well on the quiz show, flashbacks chronicle his life, the realities of which Boyle does not flinch from showing.Boyle's film, a third of which is spoken in Hindi, opens in the UK on January 9 but has already gone down well on the festival circuit and opened to fantastic reviews in the US.A Rolling Stone critic said: "What I feel for this movie isn't just admiration, it's mad love."USA Today was similarly won over: "The beautifully rendered and energetic tale celebrates resilience, the power of knowledge and the vitality of human experience. Horrifying, humorous and life-affirming, it is, above all, unforgettable." The Los Angeles Times declared it "the best old-fashioned audience picture of the year".The Turner prize-winning artist Steve McQueen, who represents the UK at next year's Venice Biennale, won the best debut director award for Hunger and the film's cinematographer Sean Bobbit, won best technical achievement. Leading man Michael Fassbender won best actor for his astonishing - not least in the 33lbs of weight he had to lose - performance as Sands.Hunger is not a film for a cheery romantic night out. It shows the reality of the dirty protests in the Maze prison in stomach-churning detail. Nothing from the Sands story is stepped away from: the brutality, the torture and the alarming effects starvation has on a man's body.At the other end of the movie spectrum, Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, which follows a relentlessly cheerful London teacher called Poppy, won two acting awards. Eddie Marsan won best supporting actor for his role as the crazed racist driving instructor, and Alexis Zegerman won best supporting actress as Poppy's best mate, Zoe.The well-fancied In Bruges, featuring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as a pair of chalk-and-cheese killers sent by their psychotic boss (Ralph Fiennes) to Bruges, came away with the best screenplay award for its writer and director Martin McDonagh. It was the playwright's film debut.Vera Farmiga won best actress for her role in concentration camp drama The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas, while the Israeli animation Waltz With Bashir won best foreign film.At the ceremony in Old Billingsgate Market, London, special awards were also given out. The actor David Thewlis was rewarded for his outstanding contribution to British film, while Michael Sheen - best known for being able to pass himself off as Kenneth Williams, Tony Blair and David Frost - was given the Variety award.It was the 11th Bifa ceremony, with the awards seeming to grow in stature  each year.
