(Except for the Girl-Kissing Part)

A while ago a friend of mine recommended the BBC series "The Vicar of Dibley". Just this week I've been watching, and I've found it's some absolutely HILARIOUS television (on DVD). A clip from what could very well be my favorite TV episode EVER follows: not only does it include Richard Armitage (Mr. Thornton from "North and South"), it also perfectly captures what is likely to be my response should someone actually propose marriage to me (starts about 30 seconds in, and runs about 3.5 minutes)...




Note: The noise she makes is a reference to an earlier conversation they had, discussing Emma Thompson's reaction in "Sense & Sensibility" when she finds out Hugh Grant's character is in fact single, and in love with her. Hmmm.


Note #2: Richard Armitage is currently starring on the BBC series "Robin Hood", and it's very likely I'll post again once I've watched it. Just a hunch.

I've just started watching "Robin Hood". I would love to hear what you think once you get going.

LADIES! I watched "North & South" on Christmas day (thank you Reese) and LOVED IT! I can't wait to watch "Robin Hood" but will need to find it first I suppose.

Now I am hooked...more BBC for ME!

That's like...the best thing I've seen in days. And I can say in all honesty that yes, I can see you having this EXACT reaction. God times :)

OK based on your review I started watching "The Vicar of Dibley" tonight. While much of the humor was sort of "girlie," there were a few lines that had me laughing out loud. Good enough to give episode two a try ...
