Has Bean

Worshippers all over the country are outraged at Rowan Atkinson's recent comments about Church of England clergy. Those, that is, that haven't been thinking he's been Archbishop of Canterbury these last few years - after all, if he's been wearing a fake beard, wig and eye-brows and making deeply theological comments we can't understand, that would explain why we've not seen him on the telly much lately.

A Church Warden, Ivor Madeup-Name (132) said "It's an outrage, what this Edmund Blackadder has done. Accusing vicars of being smug, arrogant and conceited is clearly the job of the PCC. I will be writing to the Right Reverend Baby-Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells to see what he's going to be doing about it."

Mr Madeup-Name told me that his local vicar has one things in common with Rowan Atkinson, however. They were both last funny in 1997.
