What are you listening to? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
Joan? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
What are you listening to? | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
What are you listening to? | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
Oh, this and that, you know, music from my life. Just after the war. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:45 | |
-Do you know Dizzy Gillespie? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
I met one of his trombonists. He was a wonderful man. Oh, what a talent. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:54 | |
One night, he took me back to his room at the Savoy. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Oh, we talked all night about jazz and the war. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
We smoked American cigarettes, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
we drank Champagne and then he ravished me on the sofa. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Oh, it was lovely. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Come on, come and dance with me. Here, listen, listen, listen, got it? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
-Yes. Can I put these down? -Yeah. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-Hold on. -Now, here. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |

OUTOFTUNE NOTES | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
I wish this was a more musical church. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Here we've got no choir, a broken organ, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
a CD player from a car boot sale. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
I need to find something inspiring for our Dedication Festival | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
at the end of the year. Something transcendent. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
As we worship, so we live. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
I imagine I'll have a large choir in my church. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
We must keep in touch when we're both vicars. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
I didn't know you'd put yourself up for ordination training. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
Nearly a year ago. Your predecessor was always very encouraging. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
Always saying things like, | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
"You really should go and get your own parish." | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
-He'd have written me a glowing reference. As I'm sure you will. -Yes. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
I can't decide whether I'd prefer a nice rural Cotswolds parish, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
or a church on Piccadilly or in Knightsbridge. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
Nigel, are you sure you want to be a priest? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
One of the things I realised on that Towards Ordained Ministry course | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
was how much better I'd be than all the other people there. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
-Yes, I'd be careful about saying that. -I shouldn't say that? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
The Bishops Advisory Panel will be very wary about | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
anyone who's got certainty about being called to God. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
it's frowned upon to seek preferment. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
it's good to be doubtful. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Quite right, good point. "Be doubtful". | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Yeah, do... don't write it down. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
Don't you ever fancy advancement, Adam? Nice cathedral job? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
Becoming a little Bishop? Or a big Canon? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
Never really been interested in any of that. I joined the church | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
to become a parish priest in a church like this. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Oh, I see how to do the doubtful, humble thing. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
-You're, you're very good at it. -No, that's what I think. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
Superb. it's very convincing. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
It's the truth. I've no interest in being a Dean or a Bishop. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Brilliant. You'll be Archbishop at this rate. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
SQUAWK! | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
SMS ALERT | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Oh, hello. Nigel wants to get ordained, would you believe it. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
I'll have to fill out one of those endless reference forms for him. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-Will you? Oh, dear. -You're home very early. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
-Where are you going? -Shropshire. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Oh, I've got that Facing the Future seminar tomorrow night. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
A few drinks afterwards with Bishop Peter. Where are you going? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
-I'm going away for the weekend. -Are you? | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-Oh, I'm sorry. I've done it again, I keep doing this, don't I? -What? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
You tell me things and I don't take them in. I don't listen. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
I had no idea you were away this weekend. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |
No, I didn't tell you this. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
Oh, it isn't something I didn't listen to? | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
-No, I've only just decided to go. -Where are you going? | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-I just told you. -Yes, you said Shuff.... | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Shropshire. With Lisa and Sue and Maria and Howard. They're doing a walking weekend. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
-Climbing Rodney's Pillar and I said I'd join them. -Oh. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-When are you back? -I don't know, Adam. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
Alex, what's the matter? | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
I just want to reassess life, for a moment. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
I haven't seen you one night this week. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
If you've got no time for me, how will you have time for a family? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-You said you'd give up drinking and smoking. -I have. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
What's this, then? | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
CAR HORN BEEPS That's Howard. I've got to go. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Alex. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
I think you think God will just provide us with a child if we're lucky. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
If we deserve it. I'm afraid it's not good enough for me. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-Do you want to have a child with me, Adam? -Yes, of course I do. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
Really? Well, why don't you have a think about it? | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
While I think about whether I want to have one with you. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |

You a 12-inch animal feast? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:31 | |
Yes, thank you. it's £8.99, isn't it? I'll just see if I've got the change. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
Don't worry about that, Vicarage. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
Colin, you got a job? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
Yeah, it's great. I started yesterday. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
I get £5.93 an hour and a pizza for lunch plus a medium soft drink. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
-HE LAUGHS -I get free pizza for ever more. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |

-This music's a bit boring for church. -You don't like it? | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
You want something uplifting, you should play AC/DC's Let's Get It Up. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |

What? No, she hasn't left me. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
I know what that feels like. Women, eh? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
No, she's just in Shropshire on a walking holiday. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
She is, Colin. She's climbing Rodney's Pillar. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
Is she? Who with? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
With her friends, | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |

Howard, Howard? | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Who's this Howard when he's not licking out four birds in a tent? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
-Oh, shut up! -I'm trying to help. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
-Forget climbing Rodney's Pillar. She'll be mounting Howard's cock. -Oh! | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
Right now, probably. I mean, don't you see what this is, mate? | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
This is a cry for attention. That's what women do all day. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
Well, that's not the case here. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
I'd better get off. These people ordered an hour ago. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |

it's nice of you to help Adoha with the coffee today, Archdeacon. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
I'm happy to help. Please call me Robert. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Would you like some more frothy milk in that, dear Adam? | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
No, that's fine. Is everything all right? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Yes. A little tired from five days of fasting, perhaps. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
But I find one comes to God best through subtraction. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Someone need milk, Bob. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
These coffees are lovely, Adoha. How do you do it? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
It's just instant. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Are you going to the General Synod next week, Robert? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
Oh, no, that's nothing but a distraction. I never go. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
You went last time, didn't you? | 0:08:43 | 0:08:44 | |
Did I? Oh, yes. In body, not in spirit. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
Archdeacon, are you aware there's a vacancy for the Bishop of Stevenage at the moment? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
Oh, no, no. Is there? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
You would be an exceptional Bishop, Archdeacon. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
I wouldn't, Nigel, no. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
That's very kind of you but Nolo Episcopari. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
I'd be unwilling to be a Bishop. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
I hunger to communicate the Gospel to the widest possible audience, of course, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
but I fear my soul is unprepared for such a role. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Even if God were considering me for such a position, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
which I'm sure he's not. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
I see what you mean about the humble thing. He's better at it than you. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
If God isn't considering you for it, the appointments Board might be. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
I'm sure not. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
-Tart, anyone? -Oh. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
-No. -Thank you. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
He won't become Bishop. He's been on preferment lists for ten years, | 0:09:35 | 0:09:39 | |
but he never gets close because of his horrible personality. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Maybe they want a Bishop with a horrible personality, for once? | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Instead of the spineless drips who normally get it? | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
How's Alex? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
Oh, yeah, she's good, thanks. Yeah. Good. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
We said we might meet up this weekend, but her phone's off. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
Yeah, it's terrible reception where she's gone. Far away. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
For the weekend. We like to spend the weekend apart every now and then. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:03 | |
Uh-oh, he's coming. ..I hope she's OK. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Nigel, I'm delighted to hear you've | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
put yourself forward for ordination training. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Yes, what do you think my chances are? Pretty solid, I imagine? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-Um... -How do you think Nigel could help his application, Robert? | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
Oh, perhaps working with teenagers? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
You could visit your local authority youth drop-in centre, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
hang out with the kids, learn about their problems. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
I love teenagers with problems. Sweet. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
I don't just see myself as a theologian and preacher. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Do you know who his DDO interview is with, Robert? | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
Yes, it's with me. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
I'm standing in. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
Did you hear that, Nigel? Your DDO interview is with Robert? | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
Oh. Oh, great. My interview's with you, is it? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |

-Hello, I'm Nigel. -Hello, Nigel. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
This is Adam Smallbone, one of my priests in the Diocese. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
-Oh, yes, hello. -Hello. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
Although, if you're about to start shopping in here, | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
I think it's time we reviewed your stipend! | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Are you going to buy that bed, then? | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
No, no, um, no. We should be heading off. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
I don't want to keep Heston Blumenthal waiting. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
You know how minty he gets if we mess up his timing. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
So, why don't you say goodbye to your... um... | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
friends, Bobby, and I'll see you in the car. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
Very nice to meet you. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Well, goodbye, then. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
Let's imagine, just for the sake of argument, | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
that there was a scenario in which I was being considered for an Episcopal position. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
I wouldn't want it, and I sincerely doubt I am, but let's imagine I am. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:39 | |
Right, I'm imagining. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
My concern is that if certain elements within the church | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
happened to hear about certain aspects of my private life, | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
they might be open to misinterpretation. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
For instance, to choose one example. You met my friend Richard? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
He seems very nice. So handsome. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
Yes, I would hate for that... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
friendship to be misinterpreted by anyone. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
Church law very clearly says that | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
being gay is no bar to the Bishopric. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
So long as it's a celibate relationship. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Both you and I know the church isn't ready for an openly gay Bishop. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
Would you like me to keep quiet about your friendship with Richard so that it can't be misinterpreted? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
Thank you. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:24 | |
Nothing I'd like more than to see you become Bishop of Swanage. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-Stevenage. -Or Stevenage. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
I should head back. Um, is there anywhere I can drop you? | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
What do you think the Archdeacon is going to ask me? | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
He'll certainly want to talk to you about your personal relationships. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
Well, I'm ready for that one. Question number fourteen on the form. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
Who might sustain you in your future ministry? | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
I just put, my dear mum and girlfriend Cherry. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
Two people's enough, isn't it? | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
-Your girlfriend Cherry? -Yes. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-You have a girlfriend called Cherry? -Yeah, that's a good answer, isn't it? | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
It's just that you've never mentioned her before. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
I'm sure I have. I do like to keep my private life private. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
Tell me about Cherry. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
What's she like? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
What's she like? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
She's gorgeous, is what she's like. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
A real honey. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
A real honey babe. Lovely legs, great personality too. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
She's gluten-intolerant but you can get special pasta for that now. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
Blonde hair. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
Five foot, six and a half inches. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
Big breasts. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
I'm a very lucky man. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
# I talk to God as much as I talk to Satan cos | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
# I want to hear both sides... # | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
# Let's get it up... # | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
CHORAL MUSIC | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
I feel the most enormous doubt and uncertainty | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
about whether I should be a priest. I feel inadequate. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
While simultaneously also knowing that I have all the qualities, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
let's call them gifts, required to be one. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
You said that twice now. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
Um, just looking at your section on weaknesses here. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:39 | |
Perfectionism, is that really a weakness? | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
Well, I think it could be. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
If I spent so long perfecting the theology of my sermons that it kept | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
me away from all the other things I love doing, | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
like washing the homeless and chatting to disenfranchised kids. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:57 | |
I've been resisting this call, and resisting. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
I'm like Moses that way. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Who's Cherry? | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
I couldn't work out whether she's a person or pet. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
Cherry is my girlfriend. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
I see. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
'Dear Lord, is my marriage falling apart? Is that what you want? | 0:19:20 | 0:19:26 | |
'Because I couldn't bear that. I couldn't survive that. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
'Who's being demanding, here? Me? Her? | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
'Or you, because you want my entire dedication? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
'Please don't make me choose between you and her, Lord. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
'Oh, well. Better get this done. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
'Hm. Hm. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
'Hmm.' | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
No, it's been absolutely lovely to spend some time with you, Nigel. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
And, while I glean that you have a strong sense of call, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:14 | |
I think it may lie in other directions than the priesthood. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
So, unfortunately, I can't recommend to the Bishop that you go to | 0:20:19 | 0:20:23 | |
the BAP at this stage. But thank you so much. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
Talking of lovers, how's Richard? | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
That said, I'm always wary of being the one to make the final decision | 0:20:35 | 0:20:41 | |
as to whether a person's called by God. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
I think you should go to the BAP and see how you fare. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
CUTLERY CLANKING | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
And here is your spaghetti Bolognese. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
Lovely. That looks lovely. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:01 | |
You don't want to make a mess on your shirt. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
-Do you want cheese on top? -Um, no thanks. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
-Hello, Alex. -Hello, Adoha. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
It's really lovely to see you in my home, with my husband. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
Did you have a lovely time? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:29 | |
Yeah. It was nice to be away. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Oh, I bought you some fudge. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Oh, thank you. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
I didn't get you anything. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
But, um, I did do one thing I think you'll like. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
I went and did a sperm test. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Presumably to see if I'm fertile. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
Er, 54 million per millilitre. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
Which is just 10 percent less than the national average. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
Be still, my beating heart. Thank you. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
I missed you. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
I missed waking up with you. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
Oh, I thought you were enjoying waking up next to Howard? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:26 | |
Howard? Are you joking? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
Didn't he go away with you for a reason? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
Yeah, cos he likes rambling. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
You're not having... | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
an affair with him? | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
No! | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Howard's a very nice man. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
And he has an extensive collection of Ordnance Survey maps. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
But he's a bit boring. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
In fact, he's one of the most boring men I know | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
and I know lots of clergymen. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
I love you. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
The baby thing made me go a bit potty. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
So, let's just agree that we don't need one. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
I don't want to be a Bishop at all, but if God is calling me to it, | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
then it would be obnoxious of me to resist. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
And, on the plus side, I do love Stevenage and its people. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
One final question. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
Are you involved in an active gay relationship? | 0:23:37 | 0:23:42 | |
SPEECH MUFFLED | 0:23:52 | 0:23:57 | |
I'm gonna firebomb their shop... | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
Some cab driver knocked me off me bike. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
Take your ears out! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |
So I chucked three Hawaiians at his windscreen, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
he rings the shop and the wank stain sided with him, not me. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
That job was me last chance. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
That was how I was gonna sort me life out. And now it's over! | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
We can find you another job. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:23 | |
I don't want another job! | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Why's Nigel up on the roof? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
What are you doing, you twat? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
Nigel. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
I got my letter. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
From the Bishops Advisory Panel? | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
How can they say that I wouldn't be a good priest? | 0:24:52 | 0:24:54 | |
How can they say that? They don't know. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
How can they say that they know what God wants? | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
How dare they pretend that? | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
You won't feel this now but, I bet in time you'll be relieved | 0:25:03 | 0:25:08 | |
you haven't been accepted for ordination because... | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
God wants you to do other things. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
I want to be a priest. That's all I want. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
Those bastards are telling me that it's not who I am, | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
but that's who I am. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
I'm sorry, Nigel. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
If I can't do what I want to do, then what do I do? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:30 | |
Many are called, few are chosen. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
Come on, would you let me buy you a drink? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:42 | |
Come on. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
-What did you say in my reference? Did you give me a bad reference? -No, no. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:49 | |
Did you say that I was boring? I bet you said that I was boring. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
No, I was very positive. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:54 | |
-I said that you were unfailingly punctual and organised. -Boring. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:58 | |
I said that you had a, a, a detailed knowledge and love of scripture and theological studies. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
What is the best thing that you said about me? | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
That you were brilliant at working alone. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:07 | |
Was that the question on teamwork? | 0:26:07 | 0:26:10 | |
I can't remember exactly which question. It's a long form. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
You fucked me. You know that I would be a much better priest than you. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
That's the tragedy here. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
I've brought some flowers for your church. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:37 | |
Oh, that's very kind and... | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
quite unusual. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
I'm not arranging them for you though, that's s step too far. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:45 | |
Hello, Archdeacon. I didn't see you there. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
I just came in to think. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
Is something bothering you? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Not really. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:02 | |
I saw the Crown Nominations Committee today. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:07 | |
I told them that I'm in an active gay relationship with a man that I love more than words. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
I think that probably means that I'll never be a Bishop, don't you? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:20 | |
I think that probably does. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
I was just reflecting on the fact that... that's OK, really. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:32 | |
What were you about to play? | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Something my friend Joan gave me. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
