• Playing Against Type: Arthur Lowe considered the stern, kind, and snarky Father Duddleswell to be a breath of fresh air after having played bumbling characters for so long.
• Screwed by the Network: Arthur Lowe speculated that politics were at play in this show's cancellation, as it was pulling in a good audience and Daniel Abineri's departure could have been easily handled by introducing a new curate.
• What Could Have Been:
