The Second Coming is just devastating. CE and Lesley Sharp are breathtakingly brilliant, and there are a number of strong supporting actors as well, especially Mark Benton (Clive in "Rose"). There's a scene near the end that makes me fight between sobbing my heart out and goggling in wonder at the acting technique. I'll admit, Casanova didn't affect me that much, but it's my least favourite thing RTD's done (though I quite liked Murray Gold's score). But Penelope Wilton as Bob's mum is my favourite thing about Bob & Rose - despite how good everybody else is, that's just such a beautifully heartbreaking part.
Do you want to hear a few other incestuous connections? CE starred in a play that Murray Gold wrote; Carla Henry, who played Donna in QaF, played CE's sister/love interest (yes) in Revengers Tragedy (and, I've heard, was a finalist for Rose in DW); Derek Jacobi and Marc Warren were also in Revengers Tragedy; and CE was the original choice for Stuart in QaF!
