Just thought of another BBC drama production that I can remember watching back in 1998. It was called Heaven and Earth starring Neil Pearson from the cop drama series Between the Lines. As far as I can remember the story centred around a religious community and the main character, played Pearson, going to this religious community as a retreat to get away from the families past troubles. However, as time passes and Richard's influence with the community grows, his plans change. After Richard apparently has a vision from God he is elected leader when Isaac dies. From then on Richard's power grows and his fanatical domination of the community knows no bounds and he starts to think of himself as God. He becomes highly evil and almost demonic. I can't remember what happend towards the end of the story, but it was fairly well acted and certainly created some great atmosphere as the story developed.
