I just watched RTD's Second Coming.

Without spoiling it--you guys should watch it. Especially if you've got a problem with the religious undertones in New Who, you should check it out. It does exactly what I think RTD is trying to do with New Who, but it's spelling it out, word for word. The directing/editing is a bit useless, or, you know, not my taste (if I were nasty I'd say it's very ITV), but the script is just amazing. Chris Eccleston is pretty good in it, but Lesley Sharp is actually even better. Anyway, I think it's very much worth watching, no matter if you're comparing it to New Who, or if you're watching it as a stand-alone.

Except if you're very religious. Then maybe you shouldn't watch it.
