I didn't watch this sitcom that often, but whenever I did this is just a treat. Dibley is a local town where the church has no Vicar. When they eventually find a Vicar they discover it is a woman, British Comedy Award winning (and nominated) and three-time BAFTA and twice National Television Award nominated Dawn French as Geraldine Granger. Throughout the sitcom "Gerry" does services, eats chocolate, sits with friends and gets many ideas for money or fame. There are other great characters in the show, not just "Gerry". There's simple David Horton (Gary Waldhorn), the slow-minded but lovable Alice Tinker/ Horton (BAFTA winning Emma Chambers), the friendly sometimes dim Hugo Horton (James Fleet), the confident Frank Pickle (John Bluthal), Owen Newitt (Roger Lloyd Pack) and the repetitive Jim Trott, aka, "No, no, no, no" (Trevor Peacock). It was nominated the BAFTAs for two Lew Grade Awards, Situation Comedy Award, and two Best Comedy (Programme or Series) awards, and it won the National Television Awards Most Popular Comedy Programme (also nominated). Dawn French was number 4 on Britain's Favourite Comedian, the Christmas Specials were number 6 on The 100 Greatest Moments, and the programme was number 3 on Britain's Best Sitcom. Very good!
score 9/10
