Which UK TV show features a character who hilariously says 'No no no'? this is a question on some site I know you guys would know.

The Vicar Of Dibley. The character's called Jim.

Thank you for making my TV watching life worthwhile!

He's played by Trevor Peacock who is really quite posh, has a small dog and lives in Richmond.

Here's a .WAV file.

Sounds like one o' those filthy (usually drunken) rustic types so beloved of Beeb sitcoms.

Filthy Drunken Rustic - maybe he could play Franklin Roosevelt in a TV movie ... see this is how my mind works when I haven't had enough sleep and I'm hungry.

Oh, we forgot to mention the Yes! at the end of his 'no' rants. Maybe his character is some oblique clever-clever reference to Japanese theatre?

I always wondered if he was like an updated version of Eric Idle’s Python ‘Nudge Nudge’ character – the bit at the end after ‘Look, are you insinuating something?’
