The Vicar and the Nympho

[ygwerin1 · 8/10 · 27 July 2020]

Has the Grim Reaper got a Season Ticket with Bayview Retirement Village?

A relatively new arrival Jimmy has fallen off the proverbial branch and at his funeral, the local vicar Dennis doesn't know his Weddings from the Christenings.

Dennis is renowned in the locality for his perambulations in the episcopal pulpit, but his latest episode gets him chastised by the Bishop.

Dennis seeks refuge in Bayview and finds himself having a crisis of confidence, being counselled by Diana and Tom.

Geoffrey despairs of Marion's present psychological state of mind, and dropped in on his dad Tom for help.

The Reverend takes the notion of 'Love Thy Neighbor' to heart!

There is something seriously wrong with the reverend who usually conducts the funerals for Bayview residents. He appears to have lost his mind and keeps mixing up christenings with funerals and weddings...and in one case he ends up insulting a child he's christening by declaring how ugly the kid is! The man is suffering from a nervous breakdown and oddly Harvey the Idiot Baines invites him to stay at Bayview temporarily. Unfortunately for Geoffrey, Marion ends up hitting it off VERY well with the Reverend and soon the pair run off together!

In this episode, Tom and Diana are there but don't need to do all that much as things just keep happening all around them! It's very funny and well worth seeing.
