Son of Man

on BBC One London

A retrospective season featuring the first decade of Dennis Potter's outstanding work for television continues with a play first shown in 1969.
In this celebrated and controversial retelling of the gospel story, starring the late Colin Blakely, Potter strips away the myth of gentle Jesus, meek and mild, and focuses on him as a man capable of anger and laughter.
