Reverend Green

Robin's Reverend Green was a vegetarian who campaigned for "Save The Moles", worried about the local wildlife and was trying to raise money for a mole sanctuary. He was a friendly chap who was polite to most of the murder victims (very rare in this show) and merely became very annoyed and hot under the collar, when they threatened him or the lives of the neighbourhood moles.

Although Nedwell's presentation of the character he was given to play, was quite good; it did not really fit in with the boardgame Green. Also, you rarely believed he would be capable of murder as he seemed so soft.

Like the Green of Series 1, this reverend also looked like he couldn't harm a fly. Worried about his incrimination in some missing church money (a frequent motive for Green over the show's four year run), he walked around with a constant frown on his face and the need to confess to Mrs. Peacock. His character was likeable though and you genuinely felt sorry for him.

Richard's Green had a lot more depth and character than most of the other Greens - you believed that he could have a dark past that he was trying to hide and that he was perfectly capable of the crimes committed at the Grange. Richard also had the perfect balance of comedy and pathos.

Apart from his successful "One Foot in the Grave" career; Richard has a thirty year resumé under his belt, including such things as "A Passage To India", "High Stakes", "Mr Bean" and "Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em".

This Green was one minute a convincing reverend of the parish, and another minute shooting death stares at clairvoyants and scoundrels. Like Wilson, Biggins also seemed capable of the Arlington crimes. He only falls slightly short of Richard in my eyes by not seeming to have the same level of poignancy.

Christopher Biggins is fondly remembered in British hearts as Adam Painting in "Rentaghost" and as a co-presenter on Cilla Black's "Surprise Surprise!"; but his other work has ranged from "I, Claudius" and "Poldark II", to the infamous musicals "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".

Although slightly more convincing as a real person amongst the rest of the ham flying around in this series; Green still had and edge of needing to be sent off to an insane asylum. Despite this though, he was entertaining to watch - as were the rest of the troupe - it's just when you compare this series to its predecessors, you wonder why they felt the need to spoil a perfectly good thing.

Nicholas Parsons has a long career, spanning from the 1940's to the present day. Although a lot of his success has been presenting various quiz shows such as "Just A Minute" - which has been on air for over thirty years - he was a regular face on "The Benny Hill Show" and has much success on stage as the Narrator of "The Rocky Horror Show".
