Caught this on PBS last night. A really great production, done up more for the 00's than the annoying 60's hippy look. I had forgotten what a great and powerful piece of work this is. I liked the original Jesus more than this new guy but the new guy was good too, and I couldn't believe it but Rik Mayall from the Young Ones played Herod! I was like, "Who the hell is that guy, I know him" so I waited for the credits. Judas was really good in this production, and Pontius Pilate had an awesome voice. Anybody else see it?
