Roy Clarke always had a thing about vicars on the show.
Several in the early years were foul tempered oafs such as the one played John Horsley twice.
Here Barry is forced to take out a retired vicar to lunch and enjoy the countryside.
Only for the dozy policemen to abduct him as they thought the vicar had been kidnapped.
Until then PC Cooper had been telling PC Walsh about his rules for policing. Such as the two drunks given soft drink cans that had a beeper.
Nicholas Smith plays the grumpy vicar. It was a shame that he did not share any scenes with his Are You Being Served colleague Frank Thornton.
We get to see the dozy cops inside a police station. I sensed they are not popular with their superior officers. I was surprised that after all these years they are not aware of the elderly gentlemen they bump into every week.
It certainly was an average episode with the scenery being more memorable.
