If I had three wishes...

A few days ago, bzzinglikeneon posted two pictures of David Tennant and John Simm, and ever since I've seen them, I can't get this thought out of my head that I want to see the two of them in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar.






So David would be Jesus, and John would be Judas. The musical would start with John all on his own, brooding, singing about how he's starting to have doubts about this mission David Jesus is so obsessed with, and that he's worried they might be heading for a disaster.

Later on, we would see Judas before the high council of Jerusalem, desperate and torn, not knowing what is right and wrong anymore, accepting the pieces of silver in the end because it's the only thing he feels he can do to make things turn out for the best.

Then we would witness the confrontation during the last supper, Judas breaking down and losing his temper. Things would escalate in the garden of Gethsemane and later on in the palace of Pilatus, and then we'd get John being Judas, desperate and broken because he has betrayed the man he loved and admired for the last decade, finally committing suicide and ending up as the man who will stand as the symbol for all the sin and terror in the world for thousands of years to come.

I so want to see this production. Want want want. So badly.

IAWTC! Except maybe when he got all old in the end of Series 3 of DW XD

Except that this time, John wouldn't be batshit crazy, but broody and unhappy and insecure.

So it'll be Sam Tyler without the 'I'm from the future and slightly crazy' asepct?

Ahaha, yes, okay, I give you that *gg*.

I'm guessing it would be! I have yet to see LoM (omg not living in the UK suuucks! 0:), but from what I've heard, I think it probably would be xD.

LoM is the best thing to have ever graced modern TV; the chemisty between the actors (especially Simm and Glenister) is amazing, the writing suberb, the music amazing (I can't listen to some of the songs without shedding a tear) and I still get goosebumps thinking about the final episode.

It might have only been two series, but I know it'll be a cult classic soon enough.

I'm working on getting my hands on it and am more than looking forward to knowing what exactly all the squee is about :D.

Only 2 series, really? For some reason I thought it were more...

Oh, you'll see, the squeel is definitly understandable :D

Sadly, there is only two series. There is however a spin-off called Ashes to Ashes which is situated in the 80s with majority of the LoM cast, which starts here in February; I'm excited to see what's happened since we last saw them all :D
