Quotes 

• 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.

• David Horton : [as King Herod]  Soldiers, go forth unto Bethlehem and kill all the infants in that region, for I shall have to other king but me.

  Geraldine Granger : And so...

  David Horton : But kill them gently. I am not as cruel and jealous as some would have me be.

  Geraldine Granger : And so...

  David Horton : In fact, I really love children.
