The Second Coming (TV series)

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

A 2003 Two-Part Drama by Russell T. Davies about Steve Baxter, ordinary Englishman who turns out to be the second coming of Christ.

Tropes used in The Second Coming (TV series) include:
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Judy, but that's the whole point.
  • Doing In the Wizard: Subverted; while watching a tape of Steve bringing daylight to the football stadium, an academic comments to Judy that they could theoretically check weather patterns to see what day's weather it was. Judy seizes on this as proof that it isn't a miracle, only to be bluntly told that it's nothing of the kind; couching it in scientific terms doesn't change the fact that it's completely impossible.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Ray.
  • Meaningful Name: Judith.
  • Second Coming
  • Soundtrack Dissonance: Dance music playing as Frank is pointing a gun at Ray.
