Meg received a phone call from a mysterious number in the UK that turned out to belong to The Real Paul, who had just returned from officiating in Essex.
After the services, he showed the raw green screen footage of his scene. (The outtake of the marriage scene, when the Real Paul cuts up – “You may kiss the bride” after they’ve done kissing.)
Though the audience might have been ringers – after all, there was a movie screen already installed right in the church – the clip of The Real Paul (typecast as Vicar) and The Real Marian (Vicar’s Wife and Motorbike Escort) performing the wedding and zooming off with the happy movie couple riding along went down well. The Real Paul fielded inquiries regarding its release date from these new members of his fan base.
In brief: The Real Paul and Marian crushed it. The audience reaction was great. The jokes hit home. Viewer response was favorable… in fact, perhaps more so than Marian’s will be when the phone bill arrives. (Do take it easy on him, Marian.)
Terrific news on a Sunday night surprise chat!
