    Brilliant drama
    This drama is amazing- the writing, the actors,the story line and interweaving of the the theme in the Communion and in the characters lives. So many dramas on T V lack originality and passion but this has both in full measure. It is intense and completely engaging.. The writing is exquisite and the theme music complements the script beautifully.

    Sean Bean inhabits the character of the priest- his humanity and spirituality encourages a desire to reconnect with faith at its most meaningful level. He portrays a tortured but beautiful soul. He deserves an accolade for this part along with Jimmy MGovern- one of, if not the best writer and social commentators of our time.
