The resurrection

Did anyone else watch the bbc2 programme The Bible Hunters last night?.
It seemed to point out that the post resurrection appearances of Jesus were later additions to Mark's gospel.
As mark is the earliest of the gospels and all the others were written later, this poses an interesting question.

I've just read this thread - I don't know how I missed it because it's something that has interested me for years, since I was a student.
Someone asked about the works of Josephus. I have a copy of "Josephus, the Jewish War", a Penguin Classic, published 1984.
Part of the book gives Josephus' version of the history of the Jews in the Holy Land, and includes vague references to Jesus. There are notes at the back which add to this.
I don't know if it's still in print.
DH studies religious scriptures and says that Jesus was recognised as a learned Rabbi and his writings exist somewhere.

Has anyone seen the BBC videos suggesting that Jesus did not die on the cross?

They seemed to me important and can bee seen on YouTube.
