David Horton : Now, obviously, I'm very happy to play Herod. But I did just wonder if we weren't missing a trick with him. A chance to make him more rounded. Perhaps bring out his nicer side.
Geraldine Granger : The nicer side of Herod?
David Horton : Yes.
Geraldine Granger : Oh I see, you mean a little bit like the playful side of Hitler.
David Horton : Exactly. I mean, there's Herod, a cultured, sophisticated man, into music, into ancient art. And he massacres just one batch of babies, and suddenly that's all people can remember.

Geraldine Granger : And so...
David Horton : In fact, I really love children.
