Jesus Sings The Smiths

On YouTube: BBC3 interprets the story of Easter using tunes by Manchester bands. Jesus (Darren Morfitt) performs "Love Will Tear Us Apart" at the last supper. Tim Booth plays Judas.

In this other clip, Jesus sings "You're Gonna Need Someone On Your Side" until Judas betrays him, launching into "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now."

Was there and enjoyed myself very much. The idea was excellent and the grand finale at the clock tower was moving.
