Poitless Hymns Today

[kendra20]

on Pointless tonight one of the questions was. what hymn did James Herriot take the title of his book from, the answer was "All creatures great and small" which I know is the title of his books but surely the hymn was" All things bright and beautiful" Or did I misunderstand the question.

[frugalfred]

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
... are the first 2 lines of the hymn.

[jeffa]

I didn't watch it (can't stand it!) but, from what you're saying, you were right and they were wrong.

There was a question on The Chase the other day: "What language was spoken in Ancient Rome?" :-)

[Tilly2]

I think you misunderstood. The question asked for the name of the T.V. series. I made the same mistake.

It was The Vicar of Dibley one I argued with. I'm sure the theme tune is not 'The Lord's My Shepherd'.

[jeffa]

The theme tune to The Vicar of Dibley is indeed the 23rd psalm, Tilly.

[Sipowicz]

He took the title of the book from the hymns lyrics, not from the title of the hymn.

[kendra20]

I know the first 2 lines frugalfred but they wanted the title of the hymn. thank you for your answer though.

[Tilly2]

I shall listen very carefully the next time I see an episode of T V o.D.

[andres]

The hymn is ---''All things bright and beautiful'' and the second line is ''All creatures great and small''
I didn't see the programme so I can't say what the actual question was.

[Tilly2]

They didn't want the title of the hymn. They wanted the title of the series.

[kendra20]

sipowiz I know that but the they wanted the title of the hymn.

[Tilly2]

Kendra, they didn't!

[kendra20]

Tilly the question was what hymns not series

[bednobs]

it's definately the lord is my sheppard tilly, it's just not crimmond

[kendra20]

oh well i'll watch it again on catch up just to satisfy myself thanks though

[ferlew]

The music is Goodall, rather than the one we are more used to, ie Crimmond.

[jeffa]

I tried watching it on iPlayer but gave up after the guy who thought that the river Seine flowed through Vienna.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, jeffa. That is not the same tune that I know as The Lord's My Shepherd. That seems to be the problem. Thank you for confirming it though.

[ferlew]

Your one is the Crimond version Tilly, I think.

Off the top of your head Jeffa, how big is Neptune?. Try not to be so judgmental
