NHK Educational is running low on ideas

So, I was sitting in one of the small classrooms yesterday, eating lunch. I had the TV on for some background noise (I couldn't find anything interesting to watch), and it was showing one of those "Let's Learn to Speak English!" shows. I vaguely noted that there was a cartoon illustration of some toga-wearing person in a spotlight.

I didn't pay much attention until I heard the following sentence being diagrammed and translated into English: "Then, something like fish scales fell from his eyes, and he could see again."

I looked at the television in disbelief, but it was true. They were using the story of Saul on the road to Damascus as an example for English class.

(And no, this wasn't a religion-themed show...)
