    The Bishop Gives A Shove
    May 30 2019
    After another row with the Dean, the Bishop decides he is tired of arguing with him and decides to play the bigger man.

  • All Gas And Gaiters - The Bishop Goes To Town

    All Gas And Gaiters - The Bishop Goes To Town
    May 19 2019
    All Gas and Gaiters, predominantly farcical in nature, was set in the close of the fictional St Ogg's Cathedral and concerned various intrigues and rivalries among the clergy. The "gaiters" in the title refers to part of the traditional dress of bishops and archdeacons. The title itself, however, is a reference to a well-known phrase from Charles Dickens' 1839 novel Nicholas Nickleby, later used by P. G. Wodehouse and by Powell and Pressburger (spoken in the film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp), although it had at that time a different meaning. The bishop was easygoing; his friend the archdeacon was elderly, tippling, and still appreciative of attractive women; and the bishop's chaplain was naïve and accident-prone. Their wish to live a quiet bachelor life was continually threatened by the overbearing dean, who tried to bring by-the-book rule to the cathedral.
