  • How did those pictures of pretty nudes get into the vicar's collection? Arthur Lowe stars as a stressed and hounded cleric who is at odds with his congregation. Adapted by playwright Ben Travers from his original 1943 Aldwych farce, this BBC version also stars Frank Thornton (Are You Being Served?) and Terrance Alexander (Bergerac)

      Dear Angela,
      Born in 1970 ?!😊
      A *mere slip of a gal *!
      I'd never heard of this
      either....I*m 76,
      (and a half 😊)...
      I like the small
      scale....rather like an
      *Am-Dram* style, but
      well done by actors who
      already had plenty
      of experience😊
      The * rocks * at the
      beach are as good as
      those in *Star Trek *...
      Fun to spot actors who
      became better
      known later.
      Did you like Terence
      Alexander's small ad lib,
      when he referred to the
      hat that had fallen
      off its hook outside
      the door...I bet the hat
      was supposed to
      have stayed
      on the hook...😊
      Liked the flustered wife
      trying to keep up
      with things....😊
      Gentle farce...😊
      And the 4 men
      periodically agreeing :
      **Aah**...**Aah**...
      **Aah**...**Aah **
      Wish they could find
      more of this sort
      of play, with *live*
      audience😊💙🇬🇧
