If you've seen 'The Vicar of Dibley', you'll know her as the delightfully dim Alice Tinker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPsSzLnXJkg Boru
‘But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no gods. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.’ - Thomas Jefferson
She used to make me laugh. She will be missed.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Yeah, I just saw this. I wasn't much of a fan of Dibley, but I liked some of the characters. She played Alice so beautifully. I remember the look of sheer shock and dismay on her face when the vicar had to mention that the easter bunny wasn't real, and she wasn't even the focus of the scene.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I do keep on having to remind myself that Emma Chambers was not the name of a porn star! You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

Death by old age at 53? How does that work? Or is there another form of "natural causes" that I'm unaware of besides death by old age or basically any possible way to die (I mean... natural causes as opposed to what? Unnatural causes?)

The best bit of Dibley for me was the double act at the end.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Certainly the most memorable!
My other favorite character was Owen. |
