Now On AcornTv- maybe not seen for awhile- bec no reviews. very banal tedious, what you would expect. have to wonder if this is a laugh track. the lead, Richard has a following. This is a well meaning lukewarm bowl of oatmeal, without any honey or maple syrup.
for various reasons, this was played at home and I heard most till the end. bec this is not something I would watch.
what really annoys me is that by Season #3- they have a new actress as the vicars wife, Emma. At 1st, I thought she was a teenage boy helper. nothing wrong with her, but out of the blue there is a pants and shirt person with short, boyish hair. No wifely affection. and there is no sign of their 2 pre-teen- teenage children. gone not a word. the one other review says, S#3 the children are grown up- they were too young to be gone in how many years?, and there is no reference as to them being gone, or going to Uni, or even a phone call, or where are they living.= or how they are doing why? would it be so hard to mention them. and why get rid of them? since they replaced the wife, they could bring in 2 new actors, a little older.
I can say 2 French Series, and another 1990s English sitcom, replace one or The lead characters. (Cain (Fr) replaced lead. so this seems "acceptable"- - in US beside the 2 Darrins (#1 became seriously ill) at least, they write out 1 character and bring in another. But here they do a "body snatchers".and erase 2 children.
Also, the Vicar doesn't interact with any parishioners except maybe 2 or a 3- a Senior lady who goes to a home, and a homeless alcoholic, who is always imposing with a scheme. So, yes they would be charitable, but he is annoying.
