God Bless British Television, And God Help PBS

I just discovered that Buffalo’s PBS station, WNED, broadcast 17, cable 61 (Rogers, downtown) is rerunning The Vicar of Dibley and the exquisite mid-1980s Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett in the title role.

Dawn French is almost flawless in The V of D, (en passant, closing credits include “Dawn French supplied by: Saunders and French Productions”) and Jeremy Brett is the best Sherlock Holmes ever. Ever.

    Oh, I like The Vicar of Dibley. I had never even heard of it until Reid’s mother asked for it for Christmas. And then, of course, we watched it to. What a great series! Ain’t she a hoot!!!
