Blockbuster miniseries The Bible has fast become one of the biggest hits on American TV, landing more than 13million viewers for its first episode.

But while its runaway success has taken the entertainment world by surprise, it has not come as a shock to its creators.

The producers have revealed that during its production, the show seemed to be marked by mysterious omens which they claim are evidence of ‘the hand of God’.

These apparent miracles included a a sudden swarm of snakes around the base of the cross where Jesus was to be crucified, and a boy who emerged from the desert with part of Christ’s costume which had been lost for four days.

British-born producer Mark Burnett told Entertainment Weekly that the series’ success seemed almost preordained while it was being made.

‘The hand of God was on this,’ he said in an interview before the show’s premiere last Sunday. ‘The edit came together perfectly, the actors came together perfectly, it just comes to life.’

However, he claimed that it was not just the fact that filming in North Africa went smoothly that convinced him his production was blessed.

Mr Burnett, who is most famous for creating reality shows such as Survivor and produced The Bible along with his actress wife Roma Downey, described a number of ‘weird things’ which drew the attention of cast and crew during filming.
