I thought my daughter was going to be sick she laughed so much.

We have to have a Richard Armitage watch, he is GORGEOUS, and Robin Hood finishes this week too.
Did you see Dawn French interviewd on TV a week ago about the demise of Dibley ?

She was involved at the initial stages of casting for her future 'husband' and stated she wanted someone, 'about her own age'.

She hasn't forgiven the casting director, but was rather pleased with their decision.

I didn't see the interview, and that was not mentioned in the interview I read.

As you can tell I am quite pleased at the decision.

Dermot Murnaghan would have made a good substitute - he was 49 yesterday- though he is not as tall as Richard Armitage.

I met Dermot Murnaghan at a party a few years back.

Vic of Dib and Jam & Jerusalem are the only things we've watched over Christmas. J & J was filmed in North Tawton which is the next village to where we used to live, and has apparently caused a bit of unrest with the natives. I think it's hilarious.

I found Vicar of Dibley hilarious, crying with laughter especially when she was leaping over gates to run down the hill to him!
