My friend Jenn posted these two clips from the British sitcom Outnumbered on Facebook and I am hooked. I especially like this one of the poor vicar sitting with the children at a wedding getting grilled with some particularly difficult theological questions. "Why didn't the baby Jesus just zap King Herod?" "Why didn't Jesus shape-shift into a Roman?" "What would Jesus do if he was attacked by a polar bear?"
This little girl apparently steals the show on a regular basis and after you see her funeral for a mouse that was caught in a trap set by her parents you can see why.
FOX is apparently working on an American version of this show, so we'll see how it turns out. In the mean time there are quite a few more clips like these on YouTube
About Me
- Chris
- Austin, Texas, United States
- I am a seminary student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At first it was somewhat strange being back in school for the first time in 18 years, but I love what I am studying and have quite a different approach and attitude than I did as an undergraduate. Before starting graduate school I was the Youth Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. I coordinated youth fellowship, Sunday school, summer mission trips, confirmation class and anything else that involved the 6th through 12th grade students. I was also the Facilities Manager as well but an accident changed that. In March of 2008 I fell at work and shattered my right knee. I had multiple surgeries and now my right leg isn't quite what it used to be. My knee only bends about 40-45 degrees and I can not stand or walk for extended lengths of time. It has a taken a bit of adjusting getting used to being partially disabled, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse. I am now truly a member of "The Ministry of Silly Walks."
