Just saw this on TV now, and I thought it was a good one in exploring - quite realistically - what would happen if they truly found such a body. Politics and the clash of religion/science was very well done.
I wasn't too happy with the end though. It seemed like a compromise: "OK, so now we've rattled the believers here, let's call it a day and make them happy".
It not being Jesus, but "David"? Seems the Romans must have been on repeat, then. Complete with legs, spear, crown of thorns not to mention the victim even being a carpenter. Also, the priest was too much of an honest person not to lose his faith over this. People have lost their faith over smaller things than finding what they think are the bones of Jesus. I'd say that losing faith, while not spreading the word for the sake of the "millions of believers" would be more his way of doing it.
