The Second Coming
Are you ready for Judgment Day?
Created by Russell T Davies
On ITV1
A darkly comic theological miniseries that treats the Incarnation as an absurdist premise, asking whether divinity can survive modern mundanity.
Video store clerk Steve Baxter realises that he is in fact the Son of God. He has just a few days to find the human race's Third Testament and thus avert the Apocalypse.
