Glad you enjoyed it - it's one of my fave brit comedies. Yes, that was Barty Crouch Snr, but he's far more well known for other things here. If you watch an episode of Only Fools and Horses then you'll see him in his most well known role as Trigger (Trig). Incidentally, Only Fools was the show Alice said was more entertaining than the vicar's previous sermon (when they were decorating the tree). On a side note, did you guys have a show called Gladiators in the 90s? It feels like something we might have copied. When Hugo was doing the refereeing of the sprout contest he was mimicking the ref from that show. Do you have Christmas crackers in the US? They are always filled with really terrible jokes. Im sure the space man joke has been circulating for at least 25 years now.
Emma Gwynedd Mary Chambers (11 March 1964 - 21 February 2018) was an English actress. She was known for playing the role of Alice Tinker in the BBC comedy The Vicar of Dibley and Honey Thacker in the film Notting Hill (1999). On 21 February 2018, Chambers died from natural causes at her home in Lymington.The proximate cause of death was a heart attack. She was 53 years old. On 26 February 2018, BBC One aired The Vicar of Dibley January 1998 episode "Love and Marriage" in Chambers' memory.In similar vein, on 11 March 2018 (what would have been Chambers' 54th birthday), the Goldchannel hosted a The Vicar of Dibley day in her memory.
Your correct that was Barry crouch sr, better known as the late great roger Lloyd pack whom played trigger in only fools. He nailed every comic performance he had Also to note Emma chambers who played Alice sadly passed away last year, she also was very funny in what she was in
Geraldine Granger was based on a real person - CofE's first female Vicar, and Dibley is based on that town. Women ministers was a new thing in the UK in the 90s and I can remember it in the news! Something sad is that the woman who played Alice (also in the film Notting Hill) died recently of a rare illness. She was still pretty young :(
Just to occured to me that the actor who played Owen (whom you recognised from Harry Potter) is in both Only Fools & Horses AND Doctor Who, both shows referenced in this episode.
Yes spot on that was Barty Crouch Snr. But you missed that the man asking her to marry him was Peter Capaldi of Dr Who, Local Hero and The Thick of It fame. But you probably only know him as Dr Who.
I had forgotten some of those jokes and how the first lunch went, so I was laughing along with taffe in some places. About half the main cast are no longer with us, which seems strange for a show that began in the 90s, rather than something like Dad's Army, but there you go. Frank was one of my favourites, because I admired his dedication to his work and his blissful ignorance of those who would call him dull. John Bluthal played him very sympathetically, he was very good and will be missed.
It's quite sad that the woman who played Alice died so so young! She was one of the people who made that show so great!! I haven't actually seen that episode so it was a giggle for me too! Might have to record a few episodes as they're always on
It is Bertie crouch senior and dawn French played the fat lady in the portraits in the later Harry Potter films too :) oh and bonus fact the Scottish guy getting married was a younger Dr who, Peter capaldi:)
Sad to know that the actors who played Alice, Owen and Frank have passed away and the actor who plays Jim has advanced dementia. Was always great to watch .
Hi Noah, yes, one of many good sitcoms I grew up with, sadly new ones in the U.K. are less likely. The actor John Bluthal, I first remember seeing in the late `60`s, in a sitcom called "Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width" about a partnership in a tailor`s shop. One being Catholic & the other Jewish (played by John Bluthal). He appeared in many other comedies including as a co-star in Spike Milligan`s Q Series. Always enjoyed his work. R.I.P. John, Emma, Liz & Roger all wonderful performers of their craft.
I've binged The Thick of It the last few days and this is my first TH-cam video after so it also featuring Peter Capaldi is incredible, can't wait for you to get to his Doctor Who era.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 The sprouts get me every time 🤢 Please look out for the Christmas episode of The Good life..... I think it’s hilarious....I don’t think you’ve watched it already? Hopefully you’ll enjoy it!
Just watched this one. It's a very different take on the standard English comedy, far more wholesome. It's like the opposite of Blackadder. It is unfortunate the order you've done these reactions in, otherwise you'd have gotten more of the references.

One foot in the grave is also a great comedy. Sadly it's also a BBC one.

Love this! please do the misfortunes of Victor Meldrew in one foot in the grave soon
Tears of laughter watching this again, I was about 13 when it first aired. So many memories. Gotta love Jim, no, no, no, Yes!

Thank you soo much for doing Dibley. It's one of those sitcoms that is funny but also makes ya feel all warm inside.

Brilliant show, really enjoyed your reaction. Worth watching from series one to really get to know the great cast of quirky characters.
Sad to know that the actors who played Alice, Owen and Frank have passed away and the actor who plays Jim has advanced dementia. Was always great to watch .
Bart Crouch? Also Trigger from Only Fools and Horses. Sadly no longer with us, neither is Alice.
Yes! YES!!! As Owen would say, "Best news I've heard since they made having sex with animals legal again"!

Taffe, can you do a video where you react to Father Ted? Or have you done that already?
Did you notice the producer who wanted her to marry him was the last Doctor Who, Peter Capaldi?
Sadly the actors who played Frank, Alice and Owen have all passed away.
Never have I clicked on something so quickly I love this show haha
I could not help but laugh when I saw this just bet Doctor Who as Peter Capaldie the 12th Doctor was in this episode (the Scottish guy at the end)
Hope you react to only fools and horses soon. If you ever do you are best watching one from series 4 onwards
Every episode is amazing not just past series 4
I've binged The Thick of It the last few days and this is my first TH-cam video after so it also featuring Peter Capaldi is incredible, can't wait for you to get to his Doctor Who era.
Good stuff taffe. Wondered if you’d get on with the vicar of dibley. P.s: bit late, but happy new year.
Would still like to see you react to Peep Show, Limmy's Show and Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe.
Just watched this on dailymotion, ay
Should react to Absolutely Fabulous at some point. Just to see Dawn's comedy partner Jennifer in action.
Especially the episode where the kitchen catches fire. This bit made me almost wet my pants! th-cam.com/video/PMFKz7IRPnA/w-d-xo.html
Is it just the lighting or have you dyed your hair? It looks darker than normal.
I forgot Peter Capaldi was in this
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 The sprouts get me every time 🤢 Please look out for the Christmas episode of The Good life..... I think it’s hilarious....I don’t think you’ve watched it already? Hopefully you’ll enjoy it!
Awww, love your cat :D
Sadly the cast of this are dropping like flies. The chap at the end. Roger Lloyd Pack, Emma Chambers
Not forgetting Liz Smith, too :(

Speaking of Harry Potter, you didnt notice Ron Weasley in the choir then? :-)
You woke up late
What's better, a pen or a pencil?
It's a draw
Ba dum tisssssssssssss
@@taffe316 Are you ok it looks like you might have a bit of pink eye or something?
@@KentVigilante Naw I'm good my dude I had literally just woken when I recorded this so my eyes were probably red from that.
OOoOOoOoOoO
if i had to choose a UK comedy that I think you'd find the funniest, and one that you haven't done yet, I'd pick Peep Show.
:)
