I recently discovered this very funny show by checking the DVD's out at the library. Is anyone else a fan of Geraldine and her congregation?

I just started watching this show too! It's streaming on Netflix. I like it a lot. Have you seen the Elton John episode yet? That one really cracked me up. I also like how Geraldine tells a joke at the end of each episode.

I'm a big fan of the show, but i haven't seen it in awhile.

I've seen the Elton John one and the animal blessing one! Both hilarious! I love that the blonde (I forget her name) never gets Geraldine's jokes and when Geraldine tries to explain she just gets even further off the track!!

I had never thought about the comparison between Baldrick and Alice. But you're right about the similarities!

I watched this one last night because of your recommendation. Thanks, it was great!

Another character who reminds me a lot of Alice is Officer Goody in "The Thin Blue Line"!

Who are the men on the Vicar's wall? I recognize Jesus and Mel Gibson.

Doesn't she have David Beckham up there too?

I found out that the man was Sean Bean.

Thanks. I have no idea who that is, but I do remember her mentioning that name in one of the episodes.

Yes! Very much a fan.

If your looking for laughs, this is for you. It's one of the funniest ever!

NO,NO,NO,NO,NO, Yes.
I love Alice Tinker.
In 1998 she won the British Comedy Award for Best Actress.
Officer Goody reminds me of Monroe Ficus on To Close for comfort who was the friend of Sara.

There are definitely similarities between Officer Goody and Monroe Ficus!
