Penitents Compete
2009 planned Turkish television series / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Penitents Compete (Turkish: Tövbekarlar Yarışıyor) was a planned 2009 Turkish reality television series in which a Jewish rabbi, a Buddhist monk, an Eastern Orthodox priest, and a Muslim imam were to attempt to convert a group of 10 atheists each week. It was scheduled to begin airing in September 2009 on Turkey's channel T,[1][2] with the launch intentionally delayed until after Ramadan ended.[3] After the Presidency of Religious Affairs denied permission for an imam to appear, the programme appears to have been cancelled.[4]
