744 The Holy City

Image result for david  Hayman  the  holy  city



First  viewed : 28  March  1986

This  was  a  one-off  drama  for  Good  Friday  which set  the  story  of  Christ's  Passion  in  contemporary  Glasgow. David  Hayman  played  the  Christ  figure  as  some kind of  left  wing  street  preacher. I  remember  my  sister  seeing  a  trailer  and  saying  "That  looks  awful".  I   caught  a  small  part  of  it  showing  Hayman  stopping  a  man  beating  up  his  girlfriend  by  saying  "Gae  on  if  ye've  never  done  it  yourself".

The  play  is  also  notable  for  one  of  the  last  screen  appearances  of  Fulton  McKay who  died  the  following  year.

It  has  never  been  repeated  and  has  a  very  meagre  entry  on  imdb.
