Episode 111

🎼. Dum ti dum ti dum ti dum...

Alan:  Hello, Harrison, how can I help you ?  We don’t often see you in church.

Harrison:  I got married here and was christened as a baby - how many times do you expect me to come ?

Alan:  That’s fair enough.  I suppose it’s the usual attendance record of a member of the Church of England.  Anyway, what can I do for you ?

Harrison: I was hoping you might be able to help me with a delicate matter.

Alan:  If you want to make a confession, the Catholic Church in Felpersham might be a better place to go - they specialise in that sort of thing.

Harrison:  Don’t be daft.  I wouldn’t be coming near the church if I had any personal problems.  It’s a delicate police matter.

Alan:  Not sure if I can help you but I’ll give it a try.

Harrison:  I need to contact the bishop.

Alan:  The bishop !  What on Earth has he been up to?

Harrison:  Well, actually it’s his wife I need to speak to but I’ve just been round to their house and it’s  all shut up.

Alan:  Oh dear, that doesn’t sound good.

Harrison:  Why do you say that ?

Alan:  He told me on the phone that they were going to South America due to the events at The Bull. But I thought he was joking.  I mean it’s not as if they’re war criminals.

Harrison:  But how can they afford to move to South America ?  You vicars aren’t paid much.

Alan:  He said money wouldn’t be be a problem as they had the lemon drizzle recipe.  That’s why I thought he was joking.

Harrison:  Where did the bishop get the recipe ?

Alan:  I gave it to him.

Harrison: Oh my god, I knew that lab test was wrong.  Vicar, you’re under arrest for aiding and abetting drug trafficking !

(Alan falls to the aisle with a thud)
