I did really enjoy Julian Clary as Herod in the 90’s Radio version.
Now I’ve seen it all I’d say this one is definitely worth: watching Judas’ breakdown is horrifying and mesmerising, this Jesus works better in the waiting and suffering portions than in the preaching, Annas and Caiaphas have a weirdly endearing “those two guy’s” vibe, Pilate is literally frothing at the mouth during the flogging but also nails the wistful sadness of “I dreamt I saw a Galilean” and they make the arena setting really work for the cruxifiction. Chris Moyles is a rubbish Herod but the reality show concept works. Mary Magdalene rather bizarrely has a cross tattoo (but she makes “I don’t know how to love him” strong as well as soppy) and obviously I don’t like the idea of the Temple being a sex club with extra drag queens being an example of decadence that needs clearing out rather than a legitimate form of religious expression/spiritual devotion...
