Second Coming first

Broadcast have honoured Russell T Davies' drama, The Second Coming in its annual awards.

A panel of 100 readers of the weekly television industry trade magazine voted in categories such as best documentary and best children's programme.

The ITV two-parter The Second Coming, written by Russell T Davies, won in the best drama one-off category.

The drama explored the idea of an ordinary Manchester man (Christopher Eccleston) suddenly realised he was the son of God. How would he cope? And how would his friends, family and the world react to the news?

For those who missed it, The Second Coming is available on shiny DVD.

The series also stars Lesley Sharp, from Bob and Rose. Wouldn't she make a lovely older companion everybody? Or, better still, a rather stern scientist in a nice white trouser suit with a huge pet robot?

Broadcast also named BBC Two channel of the year and State of Play, starring Bill Nighy, was named best drama series.
