Abigoliah Schamaun learns British comedy from Tom Salinsky

Rev Sara Chesterfield-Terry Explains The Vicar of Dibley

All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky

Rev Sara Chesterfield Terry Explains The Vicar of Dibley. Released 7 May 2026.

Our guest today is the person Abigoliah describes as the most interesting person she’s ever met. Sara is a Church of England vicar and lifelong British comedy. With a background that includes policing and civil engineering alongside ministry, Sara offers a unique perspective on faith, laughter, and the delightful quirks of church life.

Next time, we’ll swap religion for politics and dive into Yes (Prime) Minister. We’ll watch the very first episode “Open Government” and then we’ll join Jim Hacker in Number Ten for series 2 episode 1 of Yes Prime Minister “Man Overboard”.

Here’s a long list of social media systems where you can find the podcast and us.
