aren't half the cast dead

[Shaun]

Will be quite a hard watch with Alice, Frank and Owen all gone now :( Not to mention Liz Smith, but IIRC her character died in the show too?

[Denver]

I'm guessing it's going to be a skit in Dawn's home?

[Marsh.]

Yeah I think they killed Liz Smith's character during the first series.

I don't see how it could work either. The Vicar and Alice were the best parts of it.

[Mitchell]

Queen :love:

[Amy Jade]

I had no idea Alice passed away irl (possibly blocked it out) :(

[Jake.]

Yeah, she died at the start of the second series iirc.

But as you say, no Alice/Frank/Owen.. I’m not sure how it’d exactly work tbh. The show was great because every character played their part.

[Barry.]

I love this show but without the other main cast it wouldn't be the same.

Are we sure it's not a repeat?

[Mitchell]

It’ll just be a sketch with Geraldine surely, considering Alice, Frank and Owen have all died and Jim has dementia, it’d literally just be her, David and Hugo Horton (and even David didn’t appear in the last comic relief special)

[Saph]

not the vicar and hugo sat having a cup of tea :skull:

[Marsh.]

Yeah, all of the sketches they've done since the show ended have only been with one or two other members of the cast anyway I suppose.

[Denver]

I wonder if she has pulled in Jennifer Saunders for this? They are meant to be doing something together so wonder if it's this?
