This series was not only consistently humorous and entertaining, it was a pivotal landmark a moment of reflection for the highly patriarchal clergy during the early 1990s. A message sent through the art of comedy and humour that sent across of how diabolically patriarchal the clergy really was. A perception which saw an alternative future for women in as vicars.
Women were first ordained in 1993, this caused major outrage over the united kingdom. Dawn French's relatable and vastly entertaining performance was so socially groundbreaking as the idea of British situation comedy was to have conflicting relationships between characters. This show, however, used French's intelligence and humour to take characters such as David Horton, who initially despises the vicar, and help him flourish into not only displaying a more welcoming attitude towards her, a loving, caring attitude towards her.
The character interplay, comic timing, revelations, and attitude changes are incredibly entertaining, humorous, unique, to the point where the relationships between the characters can move you by the end of the series. The acting showcased by the whole class is unique and absolutely stellar. For example, the comic timing between Dawn French and Emma Chambers is not only remarkably funny, it also captures the essence of a true friendship.
Dawn French is absolutely remarkable throughout the series and makes the entire show her own (allowing time for other character interactions, of course), she shines a light on what it is to be a woman in the clergy, and in the world of comedy and entertainment. The relatability of her character is what made the show such a groundbreaking success. Her attitude towards the patriarchy is absolutely perfect and showcases the social movements we need to make.
