Gerald Sim was caught up in christening craziness
BBC
Onslow and Daisy's daughter, Stella, invites the Buckets and others to attend the christening service for her baby in the aptly titled Season 1 episode "The Christening." Though a fairly formal event, Hyacinth, Richard, and the others manage to turn it into a three-ring circus. Rose is juggling two suitors, both of whom turn up to the christening, while Hyacinth, Richard, and Daisy discover –- far too late -– that the sherry Onslow has bought to toast the baby's christening has an added ingredient that proves too strong for them.
Doing his best to oversee the christening is a vicar played by actor Gerald Sim. A familiar face to moviegoers on both sides of the Atlantic, Sim appeared in numerous features by directors Bryan Forbes and Richard Attenborough, who was also Sim's brother-in-law. His big-screen credits included Forbes's "Whistle Down the Wind," "Séance on a Wet Afternoon," and "King Rat," as well as Attenborough's "Gandhi," "Cry Freedom," and "Chaplin," among many other projects. Sim's other feature credits included David Lean's "Ryan's Daughter" and "Patriot Games." He also appeared in "Shadowlands" alongside Anthony Hopkins.
Sims was also frequently cast as men of authority on television – doctors, policemen, and more than a few vicars on series like "Miss Marple," "The New Avengers," and "To the Manor Born." The latter series marked his final screen appearance; Sim died at the age of 89 on December 11, 2014.
