Rowan Atkinson will always have a special place in my heart and owes me nothing ever again after brilliantly playing Edmund Blackadder for four years. But last month I had to get on him a bit, and now this shit about him shitting on The Vicar of Dibley pops up:
Creator Richard Curtis had hoped the Blackadder star would play a visiting clergyman in the Dawn French series, after his scene-stealing performance as a vicar in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
But the writer got a fairly blunt refusal from his former collaborator.
‘Rowan was supposed to be in it,’ Curtis reveals in a new documentary for the Gold channel. ‘He said he was going to do it and then watched an episode of the show and thought, "fuck that!"
‘"I’m so sorry, Dick," he said. "But it really is awful."’
Mr. Atkinson may officially consider himself to be on the Xmastime Shit List (Temporary Probation Edition). Step lightly, sir, STEP. LIGHTLY!!!
