�The village
vicar, Ashley is heavily involved in life in the community. He tells off
the members of the community who are competing with each other and being
unpleasant at the village jumble sale.
�
When the villagers are in trouble
(Sarah and Jack facing separation and divorce, the Dingles facing up to
the death of their son, Butch, the community fighting for justice after a
lorry runs out of control and crashes into the village bus) he is always
involved.
�Problems really arise when he falls
in love with Bernice, the local publican/barmaid. One villager, Edna,
makes a big fuss and calls in his boss, the Bishop. The Bishop tries to
get him to move away, hoping to break the relationship. At first it seems
that he will but in the end the vicar decides to stay and serve the
community and stick by Bernice. For
