Jesus wept! This is a 5 minute joke stretched out to 28 minutes, and an extremely unfunny one at that. The very talented people involved should hang their heads in shame at this total embarrassment. The 'songs' are instantly forgettable and lacking in melodies. Just don't buy it ok, its dire.
Only for true fans of... ...well you know who you are. It's not great and Matt Berry is at his weakest here. Normally he can pull off anything you throw at him but this mock opera is just too poor for even him to rescue. I hate the bible as much as the next guy and applaud efforts to supplant it but this does a poor job of presenting an alternative view. If anything it will have you reaching for the "good book" as a score-keeper. Comparisons with the Springer opera are unfounded. This is neither opera or mass appeal.
The Funniest Thing Since Sliced Bread!!! AD/BC - A Rock Opera is a gem. I stumbled across it in june 2007 and it had me in creases. I cant tell you how many times i watched it over the christmas period. If you're a fan of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The Mighty Boosh or Man to Man with Dean Learner, you'll love this!
AD/BC This is a brilliant piece of work showcasing Matt Berry both as a performer and composer. Clever, funny and entertaining, it has a great cast and wonderful 1970s feel. As well as the show itself, there is an extended soundtrack and a superb mock interview with Tim Wynde (Berry) about the writing of the opera which alone is worth the price of the dvd.
