Fun Friday: The Vicar of Dibley
Finally! The complete collection of The Vicar of Dibley is available in one place. Released this week, The Vicar of Dibley, the Immaculate Collection has it all! Previously, you had to buy the specials and the finale episodes seperately from the regular series DVDs. This is one of my favorite British comedies and I never fail to laugh out loud, no matter how many times I have seen the episodes. I’ll defintely be adding this one to my collection.
Dawn French is hilarious as Geraldine Granger, the woman vicar who surprises the small village of Dibley. The quirky townspeople - Jim, Owen, Frank and Hugo - are unbelievably funny and a great contrast to the straight-laced David Horton, with whom they sit on the parish council. Also hilarious is the unbelievably disty parish verger, Alice Tinker. The series began in 1994 and wrapped up in 2000. They also filmed several specials including the 2 part finale, “A Holy Wholly Happy Ending,” which aired on Christmas Day 2006 and New Years Day 2007 and wrapped up the series.
The Vicar of Dibley: Immaculate Collection DVD includes all 18 episodes, the three 10th anniversary specials and the 2 part series finale special. Special features include:
-
Comic Relief Sketches from 1997, 1999, 2005 and 2007
-
Documentary: The Real Vicars of Dibley
-
Dibley Defrocked - Behind the scenes at the 10th Anniversary Specials
-
The Vicar of Dibley Story - Cast and crew look back on 12 years of Dibley
Enjoy this clip of “It Shoulda Been Me” from the finale!
