What's wrong with the Vicar, Wolf? I think it shows the Church of England in a good light. There is a great, gentle sense of humour, and well written scripts. Unfortunately we don't see it on free-to-air TV any more, and if you do not have cable, well that's tough (we don't). We have the videos and DVDs though.

Religion is always picked on because all religions attract extremists, and it is the extremists who spoil it for everyone else. That is the only thing I have against religion. I am not religious now, but I was in my youth, but politics, extremism, and a lust for power, always corrupt religions. Man needs religion, whether it is a conventional one, one like yours and El's, or just a person's career or sport/hobby. Most people feel a hole in their lives, and search for something to fill that void.
