No plot give always and I will recommend going back and watching it all over again. Not to say its hard to follow, but some of the subtle scripting works on so many levels once you know who it is perpetrating the murders.

Great, Rent it now!

I first watched messiah when it came out on the BBC a few years ago. I loved it and that is what compelled me to buy the dvds when they were released. Messiah 1 was on 1 dvd and messiah 2 was on another. I was disapointed however to find that Messiah was in 2 parts on the dvd like it was on telly. Half way through the programme the credits started to roll and a minute later the second half started. I couldn't see why the BBC would spend the money on releasing the dvd when they weren't even going to make it into a full length drama. That aside, the acting is fantastic, especially from Ken Stott who played Red Metcalfe. I finale is equally as wonderful. There are alot of big names in it but with rather small parts. Gillian Taylforth for example played Duncans ex wife and we proberly see her 4 times in all. The special effects were equally fantastic, very realistic and very gory! The first disc also contains the makeing of messiah with make very interesting viewing. The deleted scenes that you can watch are of very poor quality, similar quality to an old video. If you havn't watched it then it's definately a must.
