Trivia:

Dawn French received hate mail from male vicars when they first aired the program; she said that some were hurtful, but she joked that they used some of the phrases as a source of dialog in the program.

Quotes:

Simon: Why don't we just say that that was the autumn that was and let's just see what winter brings.
Reverend Geraldine Granger: Yeah. Either that or "get out of my house you treacherous gigantic elongated bastard". Ah, but no. Probably the autumny-wintry metaphor is much nicer. Much nicer for you.

An absolute British Riot!

If you have yet to see this show you're missing out!!

I have found this show on late at night on PBS and have found it to be one of the funniest shows I've ever seen on TV! It is written by Four Weddings writer Richard Curtis and is starred in by some of the most fantastic British comics on screen today. Dawn French and Emma Chambers are absolutely hillarious together. I really found it a relief and a pleasure to see something so funny on TV for once.
