In this hilarious Britcom classic, a newly minted priest learns the ropes from a crusty veteran with a gentle brogue and a sharp eye on the bottom line. Arthur Lowe (Dad’s Army) stars as Father Duddleswell, wily pastor of St. Jude’s parish in suburban London. Daniel Abineri is the eager young priest who gets on-the-job training in the finer points of sustaining and supporting the flock. A tart-tongued housekeeper (Gabrielle Daye) and imperious Mother Superior (Sheila Keith) add to the fun. It’s an affectionate send-up of 1950s Catholicism written by Peter de Rosa and based on his popular autobiographical novels. |
