No, nothing quite as biblical as that, I'm afraid.
Has anybody seen the new film?
I've been told by one friend, an avid fan, that it is utter rubbish (not the word that he used) and by another good friend, also an avid fan, that it is fantastic.
I would rather like to see it, but would also prefer not to spend £4.50 for the privilege of wasting 2 hours of my life that I will never get back.
Do let me know what your thoughts are, as I plan to see it on Wednesday. Many thanks.
About Me

- I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace. I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.

Hi Michael
Afraid I cannot help with the film, but I am very glad to see you back posting !
God bless you as you journey to Holy Orthodoxy
Thank you, Elizabeth.
The film was absolutely fantastic. In true League of Gentlemen style, it relied largely on what has gone before, in the development of the characters and in the jokes based on previous events, and that's what makes it so good. There was sufficient entertainment that those who had not seen any of the series or the Christmass special would be able to appreciate, but a background knowledge pays dividends, much in the same way as The Life of Brian is enjoyable, regardless of any given viewer's background, but there is humour that will be missed by anybody who doesn;t have a religious background.
I recommend it.
