An episode of BBC2's excellent Rev opened with a hearse being removed from outside a church that looks just like the one in the picture. Could that be a still of the same, fictional scene?

Funny how we all believe it to be true!
|
|
There is a boom mike on the left of the picture...
|
So who wants to be first with 'You couldn't make it up' ?

Indeed its exactly the same vehicle and church as in the TV series. Still makes a good spoof photograph.

It was a cracking series.

Just one thing which confuses me. Now I know nothing about religions and I got an E in my GCSE as I was forced to do it by law. I didn't attend a single lesson and spent that time in technology playing about with 555 timers and op amps instead. The choice was sit the exam or don't sit it so I decided to sit it as a protest. I wrote my name on the paper, wrote some woffle how I don't believe RE should be taught by law and some how got an E.
I only go to church for funerals but as far as I am aware CoE's are vicars and catholics are preists (I mean the person that runs the church). So why on this programme is the 'vicar' refered to as a preist most of the time despite the fact the church is supposed to be anglican?
Sorry its all gone a bit off topic.

The funniest bit was in the first episode with the mooning builders and the Vicar's response.

Priest is a general term.

Watched episode 3 of this series last night. The picture is indeed a still from the opening sequence. So not similar it's the same. But someone above did mention the boom mic though which showed it was not a real scene.

Priest is the technical term for an Anglican clergyperson of a certain rank i.e. one who has gone beyond being a deacon but is made it to being a bishop. A vicar is a type of priest. However, the word priest is not popularly used except among high church anglicans.
Technically, a vicar is merely someone who stands in for someone else (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicar). In the old days a clergyman could be appointed priest of several parishes, and pay a vicar to do the work in the ones he couldn't handle himself. Naturally, the vicar was only paid a fraction of the stipend that the priest would have earned for being parish priest.

I must put my hands up and admit I didn't notice the boom mic until teabag mentioned it,
I was quite interested in the actual area of Shoreditch High St., which I know very well,
I'll just have to try and watch more telly :(
