Rev - my new favourite programme!

[minko]

On last night at 10pm - it was fab. I love Olivia Coleman and she's great in this. I don't like much on TV at the moment so was really surprised!

I bloody love it too... absolute genius. Liked it last week a lot and liked it even better this!

I watched trying to think where I had seen the verger/curate Nigel before, googgled him and its Archie the inventor from Balamory!!!

Ha, I knew I knew him from somewhere!!

Loving this too. The evangelical church group were hysterical - loved the smoothie bar

Thought this was great -dh and I laughed a lot

I quite enjoyed it - started watching unintentionally after Mary Porttas, and might have to start watching it regularly.

Maybe it's background coming out - my parents weren't religious, rather the opposite, but I'm a vicar's granddaughter.

I watched it for the first time last night and I'm hooked. I laughed from start to finish.....

blimey MrsW, I've sky+ this and just watched, very funny, having read this I had another look as hadnt deleted it, how on earth did you manage to spot him, stunning!

Really, Nigel is in Balamory???? (and he's a Reader, not a verger/curate - like me! )

I just caught up with this on iplayer - I was really surprised how good it was and how much I laughed! Lots of vicars in the family and got dragged a long to a few evangelical meetings like Darren's group, so that made me laugh a lot! Will definitely be watching this regularly. Why is the comedy on BBC2 always so much better than the comedy on BBC1???

It is really good isn't it. I have the first three sky plussed, so am just watching them now. I think it is really very funny. I agree with Daisy in that i do wonder how the schedulers decide what goes on BBC1 and what goes on BBC2 and BBC4 as often the programmes on 2 and 4 are much better!

just flagging this again -- truly it's unusually good

I love Simon McBurney as the archdeacon but whole cast is without exception fantastic

so well written

very funny

loved the vicar who borrowed his church with the smoothies etc

Did anyone see the last episode tonight? Adam's dancing was absolutely hilarious! So sad that was the end of the series, hope they make another one.

Wow, I'm shocked. I tried this a few weeks ago, found it predictable and derivative and didn't laugh once. I always love Olivia Coleman in anything, though, so she was the one bright star in what I thought was an otherwise dull universe.

Well, butterfly, if one of you had actually thought about my need to rant, and started this thread earlier in the season, I might have posted that earlier. I mean, who do you lot think you are???

Humph!

Humbug!

Well, like, clearly I've been too busy watching Desperate Housewives having a life to be bovvered by some rubbish thread 'bout some dryyyy programme on BBC2, inni'?

(can't do textspeak but can do a bad pisstake of Jafakin')

I know, I know. And The Good Wife finished the week before the Housewives. Gutted.

Ugly Betty's starting soon - in the next couple of weeks.

i wanted to like it - i sort of liked it, no i did like it, but not spectacularly.

archie the inventor?? from balamory - or am i totally wrong?
