I must admit, I found it a heck of a lot more pleasant to watch than several other well known comedies I could name. Did I laugh a lot? No. Did I enjoy it?

However I fear that this is going to be just like most of the other TV vicar fayre we've been fed over the years. I'm all in favour of showing clergy as human but will it really be necessary for him to have an affair with the headteacher?<br />Struggling to take seriously the casting of David Mitchell's love interest from peeps Tim Goodbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725035540031649887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35594660.post-44466596743921841202010-06-29T09:27:05.756+01:002010-06-29T09:27:05.756+01:00I thought the swearing was absolutely necessary - ...I thought the swearing was absolutely necessary - and very real.
