The Honeymoon's Over: Vicar

Tom and Sally, newcomers who have just bought three old almshouses to knock into one home, drop into the village church expecting the welcoming, chatty atmosphere Sally found on her last visit. Instead a moustachioed vicar steps out, asks who exactly they thought they were saying hello to, and on hearing that they are spiritual rather than religious wonders aloud whether he is being tested by the Devil. He explains that the bishop has banished the friendly lady vicars and that the horrible, twisted old guard is back, then tells Sally the whole vestry watched her share her views and help herself to other people's biscuits and despised her for it. When Tom defends his wife, the vicar mocks their half-considered thoughts on eternity, boasts of the centuries of darkness and harvested souls behind him and waves off the idea of a church as a place of peace as a passing fad, before chasing them out with a volley of curses and a final plea for a coin towards the upkeep.

This is the second installment of the recurring "The Honeymoon's Over" format, which began with David Mitchell's incredibly posh waiter in the first episode; IMDb's episode credits name Mitchell's character the "Incredibly Horrible and Twisted Vicar".
