The Vicar of Dibley comes to the Algarve

The Vicar of Dibley comes to the AlgarveOne of the best-loved characters in The Vicar of Dibley was iconic Owen Newitt, played by the late Roger Lloyd-Pack. 
Roger had an affinity for the Algarve and was a frequent visitor to his brother, Christopher Lloyd-Pack, who has lived near Lagos for many years.
Christopher, who has also been involved in theatre both onstage and off, and who now teaches GCSE Drama at Aljezur International school, very kindly met us at a recent rehearsal with the Western Algarve Community Choir in Almadena.
