7/10
Twenty years on and still worth seeing.
5 February 2023
Stephen Baxter claims to be The Son of God, explaining that The End of Days is near, unless the people of The World can unite, and produce a Third Testament.

It's hard to believe it's twenty years old, it's a drama that's held up well with time, it was and still is controversial and thought provoking, but it's certainly a dramatic and entertaining watch. You can definitely see 'fantastic' elements that would follow in Doctor Who, Russell T Davies and Christopher Eccleston certainly made a formidable team.

Very well produced, it looks good, especially episode one's dramatic conclusion.

It's certainly well acted, Eccleston is terrific, he's very well supported by Lesley Ash, Mark Benton and a good few others, it's such a good cast list.

I would say I think Part one is definitely the better of the two episodes, most if the good content is there, those scenes where The Demons appear, the man begging for money, and the woman in the car, those are chilling moments. Episode two lacks some of the pacing, but it's still good.

7/10.
