It's rude in places, entirely unsuitable for children, and pokes fun at the established church and its congregation. But Dawn French is wonderful as the harassed but essentially kind-hearted Geraldine, and her supporting cast provide a lot of humour in one-liners, and both predictable comments and unexpected scenes.

We'd seen it before, although not for many years, and enjoyed it very much seeing just one or two episodes per week over several months.

Slap-happy funny; great British Comedy
