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.

Sir Paul Stephenson, as acting head of the Met, ultimately sanctioned the arrest of Green over his role in publishing documents allegedly leaked to him by a mole in the Home Office. His decision, described by one senior officer as "totally catastrophic", has led to a furious reaction from the Conservative party leader, David Cameron, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, and members of the cabinet, who are understood to be divided over the issue. The deadline for applications for the top job at the Met is noon today and Stephenson is understood to be wondering whether the post is worth the flak. "He is a man who does angst over things quite a lot and he will be thinking very hard about this," said one source. Senior members of the cabinet have expressed deep disquiet over the treatment of Green, who was detained by police for nine hours last Thursday and forced to give a fingerprint and DNA sample. Some ministers voiced unease on the margins of a cabinet meeting in Leeds on Friday. They believe the police's behaviour was heavy-handed and gave the impression that the state was attempting to block the opposition from holding the government to account. Other ministers said that the police had good grounds to question Green. Harriet Harman, the leader of the Commons, admitted yesterday that she was "very concerned indeed" about what had happened, although the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, refused to apologise and insisted the police were independent. Today Jack Straw, the justice secretary, said that Smith was right not to apologise for what had happened to Green. "If any home secretary had offered an apology, there would have then been a huge furore about the fact that the home secretary was prejudging the actions and activities of the police without an investigation," Straw said in an interview on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Straw said that if the Tories were unhappy about what had happened, they could complain to the independent police complaints authority. He also said that he was "pretty certain" that, once the affair was over, parliament would review the procedures that led to Green's office at the House of Commons being searched by police. The Tories intensified pressure last night by revealing further details of the police questioning of Green, who was arrested on suspicion that he had procured leaked documents from Chris Galley, a 26-year-old junior civil servant. Police allegedly accused the MP of "grooming" the young civil servant, in what was seen as an attempt to prove that Green had broken the law by offering inducements to procure leaked documents. A Tory source said that Green was furious at the use of a word with such horrendous connotations. "This was clearly designed to provoke Damian. This is typical of the cack-handed way the police have handled this." Such revelations will add to the pressure on the Met, and specifically Stephenson, who was seen as the favourite to succeed Sir Ian Blair as the new commissioner. He is understood to have had a furious row with Johnson on Thursday after telling him of the impending arrest. A Scotland Yard source yesterday denied that anyone had been bugged as part of the inquiry, after speculation that the police had listened in to calls between Green and the civil servant accused of leaking documents to him. Police sources stressed that they were investigating whether Green had aided, abetted and encouraged the civil servant to procure the information. Senior officers were split over whether the MP should have been investigated or arrested at all, it emerged yesterday. Some within Scotland Yard viewed the issue as a disciplinary one for the civil service, and not a criminal matter at all. Publicly the Met is defending its actions, saying there was nothing unusual about the use of 20 officers to carry out searches and the arrest of Green. "There were four addresses, five officers for each address," the source said. "The investigation is ongoing. That is all we are saying." There was also a row brewing between the Crown Prosecution Service and the police. The Guardian has been told that the CPS was involved in the decision by Bob Quick, the Met's assistant commissioner of specialist operations, to arrest Green. But the CPS angrily denied it was party to the decision to arrest, saying: "We were involved only in the preliminary stages of the investigation." It emerged that the arrest had not been sanctioned by the new director of prosecutions, Keir Starmer. A spokesman for the CPS said that Starmer had only been informed shortly before detectives swooped. This is crucial to another growing row ? the decision by the Commons serjeant at arms, Jill Pay, and the Speaker, Michael Martin, to allow police to search Green's office. Pay reportedly gave the go-ahead after police told her that the DPP had given his approval to the arrest. Martin is due to make a statement on Wednesday. Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said the police might have misled Pay. "One way of reading the contradictory explanations between the sergeant at arms and what the DPP has said is that the police misled her. That's a very serious issue which needs to be looked into," he told Sky News. A spokesman for Martin said: "The Speaker will be speaking to the house when the house returns."Damian GreenConservativesPoliceLondon politicsLondonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds Guardian.Co.Uk Acting Met chief could step aside in Damian Green leak row {new window}   Www.Guardian.Co.Uk - The man tipped to become the new Metropolitan police commissioner was last night understood to be considering whether he should apply for the job, after a barrage of criticism from politicians on all sides over the arrest of the shadow Home Office minister Damian Green.
