Michael, the Vicar (Keeping Up Appearances character)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael is a character on the British sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, played by Jeremy Gittins. He is the vicar of Hyacinth's parish. He is terrified of Hyacinth and tries to avoid her, often unsuccessfully. Moreover, he often forgets that Hyacinth prefers that her last name be pronounced "bouquet" and addresses her as Mrs. Bucket, pronounced as spelt. He is called "that dishy vicar" by Hyacinth's sister Rose, who often pursues him, and of whom he is scared.
[edit] Vicar's wife
The vicar's long-suffering wife, played by Marion Barron, often suspects him of being involved with the ladies, a suspicion that is untrue, and is often jealous of him. While she doesn't like Hyacinth, she is less intimidated by her than her husband is. Her name is never given. Many critics have commented on the rather poor and wooden acting of Marion Barron in the role, however it is unknown whether this was deliberately set up by writer Roy Clarke and producer-director Harold Snoad as Barron has done little work since.
