The Wold Singers staged a very well-attended musical evening in Brigg's Angel Suite last night, during which they performed the theme music from BBC TV's hit comedy The Vicar of Dibley.
Beneath the former ballroom, in the lounge, Brigg councillors were busy with a property and services committee meeting, and the song could be heard very clearly as it drifted through the airwaves.
The Vicar of Dibley pokes gentle fun at the parish council, whose meetings often feature in the various episodes. But no-one on the Brigg authority batted an eyelid, or even paused in mid-sentence, while the Dibley song was being performed.
It should be pointed out Brigg Town Council has no-one who looks, or acts, like anyone from the ficticious Dibley Parish Council.
But at one point last night, committee chairman Coun John Kitwood did manage a shake of the head and a sardonic smile to show his displeasure at a certain item on the agenda which reminded me very much of his opposite number at Dibley, Coun Horton, played by Gary Waldhorn.
He clearly thought it was a waste of time but did not resort to using the famous catchphrase of one of the best-loved Dibley TV councillors: "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!"
