The Second Coming

Christopher Eccleston plays Steve Baxter, a video shop worker, who is found wandering the Yorkshire Moors after 40 days and nights, mumbling he is the Son of God.
Steve isn't mad - he is the Second Coming. He needs to stage a major event to get the world to sit up and take notice, so he performs a miracle by turning night into day at Manchester City football ground.
The world's media kicks into a frenzy. Steve has a simple purpose - mankind must produce a Third Testament or face Judgement Day, in five days time. Fear, cynicism and violence erupt and worldwide pandemonium ensues.
But if God is real then so is the Devil. Can the Third Testament be found in time? Can the Son of God save the human race?.
The Second Coming is an ambitious and challenging drama from Russell T Davies, the award-winning writer of Queer as Folk and Bob & Rose, written with his customary originality and boldness.
