Have just realised that I am listening to a play featuring Jesus and he is speaking with an American accent. 
If it was the same play I was listening to, it was Mr P.Pilate who was the obvious Yank.
Other parts were played by extras from Last of the Summer Wine and The Sweeney.

My mistake, I wasn't really listening but when I realised what it was,

tossers. Still I suppose at least the Sweenyites didn't rock up to arrest him in a squad cart.

Well, at least I hope they didn't, I wasn't listening like.
