Rev

Never having watched this programme before thought I would give it a try.
Excruciatingly unfunny. Embarassing even. Any comments?

I didn't find it funny either Daisy, thought I'd watch it cos they were on the BBC this morning, but did nothing for me either!...won't bother watching again!.......

Thank goodness Welsh. Thought I had finally lost it!

[welshlibranr]

Daisy, you haven't lost it!...........it just was not funny at all!.........lol.....

The first series was a lot funnier. I found this latest episode very distasteful.
If anyone thinks jokes about abuse against children within the Catholic church
are funny they are sick in the head. I wont be watching again.

i liked it, thought it was quite amusing and inoffensive. i hadn't watched the first series but had heard good things, so thought i would give it a go.

The guy who plays the 'Rev' is rather cute though :) Tom Hollander :)

cupid04,

IMHO the episode didn't make light of the Catholic priest abuse issue, it brought home how, as a result of such abuse, political correctness and the dreaded Health & Safety that excursions involving children are now fraught with legislation.

It also highlights the quandries, moral dilemma's and paradox's faced by the clergy in such situations, the main case in point being the member of the congregation who wasn't allowed on the trip for past misdemeanours yet, as he argued, the church is all about forgiveness etc and how the church is so contradictory.

I thought it was at its usual brilliant best, but that's just my opinion.

[quizzywig]

Totally agree with you Philtaz.

quizzy, i posted about it, and of course some people didn't like it,
but i thought it carried on where last series left off, l loved it.
