you're making want to watch that now
my recent viewing - The Second Coming Episode 1
meant to just check the dvd because amazon's blurb suggests it's a feature edit, ended up watching the whole of episode 1. Still epic, amazing and one of the best bits of recent telly I've seen. Def a newer contender for last of the truly great programmes made by/for ITV.
First time since the original broadcast - the intro / pre-credits bit brought back the whole rush of knowing this was going to be something more than great and important and maybe he's going to turn out to not be Jesus but abducted by aliens or something.
Weird noticing all the moments where Christopher Eccleston suddenly give a manic smile or goes all chatty then despairing and is The Doctor, only better and further - and this was why his performance in Doctor Who was sort of a disappointment. Spent part of my original viewing slightly confused because I'd muddled my Our Friends In The North actors/characters and expected Daniel Craig being like Nicky
eta: just like the first time I felt the hatred for Richard & Judy and there ilk's exploitation of serious issues, encouraging people's paranoia and despair.
Forgot this had the fake news and comment show clips too - another RTD thing that worked better here than in Who.
Made more connections between why things happened in part 1 and what I remember happening in part 2, just why the woman being unable leave her life/children led her to try and do what she tried to do in the next episode - from her pov she'd just been rejected by God.
and there's a comment/statement about us having to work together to sort things out (I think re the writing of the new testament) that is exactly why what happens in the end has to happen. & it suddenly clicked, the significance of Judy/Judith/Judas & why she has to be the one to do it.
Very (but pleasently) surprised to be suddenly hit by the next episode trailer, just I remembered it.
and earlier in the week
Life Of Brian, off video
Much better 2nd time round, doesn't really work watched with adverts, and missing bits due to popping in and out.
I've had the "a man called Brian" Bond theme type song in my head ever since.
