Really excellent story, a real gem to listen to and enjoy immensely. A great pity the BBC has abandoned a successful area of radio. Much appreciated ❤👍

Excellent. It includes a couple of olde-tyme audiobook regulars Jeremy Clyde and Gabriel Wolf, and they lead a splendid BBC gang; back when the BBC still knew how to treat Victorian drama (and melodramatic comedy) with a sympathetic light touch. '"£810 per annum .. and .. a house" ... "Just you wait .. that's all ...!"' Thanks for this .. and all the others.

Synopsis: It's 1879 and the rector of the town church has died. A new rector from out of town is to replace him; and he's young and single. The ladies of the congregation and their daughters are pleased. But he immediately encounters opposition from the congregation's men. Will he survive as he introduces change to those set in their ways? Can he keep himself out of hot water?

Elaine...a young vicar finds himself granted a town parish. His good fortune is not what it appears as local resistance to him grows culminating in a question as to whether he was granted the living by mistake. Pleasant listening and good production values.

I’m about halfway through and finding this story two-dimensional and old-fashioned to the point of narrative paralysis. That being said, it features Jeremy Clyde (of “Chad & Jeremy”) and I always enjoy his distinctive speaking voice, so I suppose I’ll listen to the rest of this thing just for his performance. And the other actors are all certainly pretty first-class.

@michaelmoricz8422 Жыл бұрын

All the convoluted complications of the second half of the story made it far more satisfying in the end. I’m glad now that I listened. :)
