I was listening to some of the KPM stock music recordings and recognized The Bishop's theme music as "Superperformance" by David Lindup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4mTeXibqsadsLMsi=FwecLezTIgqEp8r4

I think you have to be raised Anglican to really relish this. (At least my brother and sister and I were when we first saw it back in the day.) The tough priest bodyguards are worth the price of admission.
@jkorshakАй бұрын
I was raised in an entirely agnostic family in Texas, but of course I had friends who went to church, been to weddings and funerals ect. so the whole premise's absurdity and silliness wasn't lost on us. The scene that always gets me is the Christening and all the attendees are the Vercotti family - Italian gangsters apparently there to assassinate the priest, dressed in drag disguise but still with their pencil mustaches. The kid's name, "Francesco Luigi Vercotti." It was the Vercotti brothers who tried to muscle the British Army Colonel into their protection racket in another episode.

@@jkorshak It's the gentle parody of Anglican culture that got us. Famously nerdy Anglican priests swaggering behind a tough crime-solving bishop are only the beginning. Bishops themselves are classically stiff conservative figures who strive to show as little emotion as possible in public. The idea of one jogging about dirty urban streets in full vestments, brandishing the crozier like a nightstick and barking warnings in a working-class accent, well... it meant a lot of grinning eye-contact between us when ours made his annual visit to our church when I was a kid.

@@RobMacKendrick Also liked the nerdy priest pathetically bleating for help from a 2nd story window. On the American side, we appreciated the satire on "gritty" cop and private detective shows common on television for the era where the tough as nails star is always breaking up organized crime operations, solving mysterious deaths, stopping crime ridden plots, and generally bringing bad guys to justice.

That would made one hell of a tv crime drama series lol. Imagine the bishop rushing to a church to foil its use and shape as an anti ballistic missile. After its launch The Bishop crosses himself as the smoke blackens his face.
