Don't know if anyone's seen this, but I watched it last night and it was quite an entertaining and informative history of the devil in Christian mythology;

worth a watch if anyone has a spare hour in their day

He did a whole sitcom series on BBC R4, in which he was the devil.  OK, not great.

That's a shame, it must be great fun to play the devil

Hamilton is good but the script was weak.  He was a modern manager type, trying to control his junior devils.

I remember now - it was called Old Harry's Game.

'twas very good, thanks for the recommendation TFL. Loved the fictional conversation about how to incorporate the devil into Christianity.
