The second series of THE VICAR OF DIBLEY is even funnier than the first! Dawn French stars as the "bodacious babe" Reverend Geraldine Granger in Richard Curtis and Peter Mayhew-Archer's divine comedy.

"Engagement" - Alice and Hugo, who've been dancing around the dating issue for a while, suddenly get a push in the right direction thanks to match-making Gerry.

"Dibley Live" - The town is allowed a week's worth of radio broadcasts, in a bid to bring the community closer together. There's Gerry's Phone-In featuring only one call, Hugo's sexy pop singers show and Frank Pickle coming out of the closet!

"Celebrity Vicar" - Gerry gets caught up in the heady world of being a religious celebrity, and quickly lets fame affect her friendships in Dibley.

"Love and Marriage" - At last, Hugo and Alice's wedding day has dawned! Though Gerry quickly dissuades Alice's design for the wedding dress (featuring pictures of all the Doctor Who's in lovehearts, and Thomas the Tank Engine as the train).

Also featured on this disc are the 2 specials that were aired after the phenomenal success of Series 1:

"The Easter Bunney" - After the death of Mrs Cropley, Gerry promises to replace her as the village's Easter Bunney.

"The Christmas Lunch Incident" - Gerry discovers there's a downside to kindness as she accepts to eat Christmas lunch with three sets of people (Frank and Jim), (Hugo and his father), (Alice, her sister and mother). Things go quite well until Gerry agreees to a sprout-eating contest with David!

This disc is a great buy for all VICAR fans. Hilarious and quite touching as we continue our friendships with the delightful Dibley residents. Highly-recommended

I got hooked on 'The Vicar of Dibley' while living in Orlando this past year. It was on one of our PBS channels, and I had just finished watching 'Are You Being Served?' and 'Good Neighbors.' When I heard the theme music from my living room, I thought, "I'm changing that as soon as I can, I want a comedy" because the music seemed sort of melancholy in nature. Decided to leave it on when I heard laughter and thank God I did because it is HILARIOUS! When I moved back down to Ft. Myers, I was disapointed when I realized they don't have it down here so I quickly ordered this season, got my friends hooked on it, and now I am ordering the divine collection nad giving this DVD to a friend of mine. I am watching it now in fact! Since many funny sitcoms in the USA have ended (Seinfeld, Friends, Frasier, Cosby Show, etc.), and t.v. is filled with those garbage reality shows, it is great to HAVE this show in my DVD collection!!

I sent this to my sister in Florida. She moved there from England many years ago and had not seen the Vicar of Dibley before. She thought it was the best comedy she had seen in years! Which is exactly my opinion too! Dawn French and the rest of the cast are excellent and the scriptwriting is superb!!!

As always Dawn French is fantastic, wish we had the talent like this in the U.S.A. The whole cast is just too funny and it is a fun show to watch.

Dawn French is excellent... she is one of the funniest actresses I have ever seen.

Absolutely hilarious! Dawn French is a comedic gem and this is my favorite of her works! To anyone who loves a bit of British humor I highly recommend this show. If you liked this you may also enjoy Men Behaving Badly and Chef!

I used to watch this on my PBS station, as I live WAY out in the boonies. Since the change over I get virtually no stations, so these DVDs are a MUCH welcome addition to my collection. Dawn French is great, as are all the cast members. I love the simplicity of these British sitcoms. I have all 3 seasons and the 2 other ones as well. I watch them again and again!

In this second series all 6 episodes will make you laugh. If not, you must be dead. In case you didn't know, a Vicar is a parish priest in the Anglican Church. And three episodes of this BBC comedy stand out for me: "The Easter Bunny"; "The Christmas Lunch Incident"; and "Love & Marriage". Buy this DVD and see if you agree with me. AMEN!

I received the DVD I ordered in record time, and it was in mint condition. I love the "Vicar" series and was happy that the quality was excellent. I am happy, happy, happy, that I browsed Amazon.

This is a great British comedy and well worth the money. The laughs are ongoing, and Owen will make you wonder what a "Bugger" really is. And if you can get through Jim's stumbling of no, no, no, you will be laughing all the way through!! I love this comedy!!
