This is a wonderful box set. It contains every episode ever made. It is well worth the price. It contains Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, 10th Anniversary Specials (Merry Christmas & Happy New Year), A Holy Wholly Happy Ending.

I purchased this thinking it was a new set, as the description did not specify. I returned this because it was just a new packaging with the series 1-3, specials, and A Holy Wholly Happy Ending. Odd too was that the offer to buy this collection AND a second copy of A Holy Wholly Happy Ending! Love the series, actors and everything, but the advertising and description are very misleading.

This is absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, one of the funniest series ever. All the characters (and they are characters) are fun and interesting to watch.

I could not be happier with my purchase. I have loved watching the show on our local PBS station and it is great to have every episode. NOTE: This is literally every episode ever recorded and you do NOT need to buy any of the other DVDs listed here, included the "other's who bought this also bought...."
Not sure why they recommend a DVD that is included inside this set, you do NOT need it.
If you enjoy the Vicar of Dibley or just really enjoy good british comedy, this set is for you!

Enough has been said about the actual series itself and I couldn't agree more that it's one of the most clever and funny shows to have been produced in TV history. Thank goodness for Richard Curtis.

While it is great to have a DVD set which gathers all the episodes together, I have to say that the sleeve which holds the 5 DVD cases is woefully cheap and does not befit such a wonderful compilation. For all those "completists" like me out there who like their boxsets to be both attractive and sturdy, this is disappointing. I would expect the UK BBC version to be better executed.

i love dawn french and she is brilliant in this show. i got this collection for a friend, as i already bought each series individually - so if you want it all - this is your ticket! this is adult humor, but done tastefully and very funny! the beginning episodes are a bit more funny than the later ones - gets a bit raunchy towards the last episodes- but still hilarious!
i love having this total set when pbs decides to cut the show in my area........

This was a wonderful collection of "vicar" DVD's. We enjoyed all the shows!If you are a "vicar" fan, or a BBC fan, I recommend that you purchase this DVD collection. We loved the extra information that the DVD's have about the cast and the show in general.

This is my all time favorite show. I am so happy to finally have everything all together. I watch this thing everytime I am feeling down, it always cheers me up. Even from the first episode, it is just right on target, none of that first episode weirdness, just perfect every time. :)

Having gotten the set before the 2006 additions (The Handsome Stranger and Vicar In White, AKA Holy Wholly Happy Ending) I was eager to get this set and have it complete with ALL the specials over the course of the Vicar's 12 year life (now 14 being 2008). If you all ready have the Divine Collection all you really need to get is Holy Wholly Happy Ending DVD, it has "The Handsome Stranger" (2006) and "Vicar In White" (2006). If you haven't gotten the Vicar Of Dibley collection yet, this is the one to get "The Immaculate Collection" has the entire series, all the specials and features including the above mentioned 2006 episodes. It's a nice way to end the series if there are to be no more Vicar Of Dibley specials or episodes. I hope there may be. The only thing I am curious about with regards to the series is that it is mentioned that Geraldine Grainger's (the vicar) real first name is Bodicia (I may not have spelled it correctly). In the Vicar In White finale, it's said her name is Geraldine Julie Andrews Dick Van Dyke Supercalifragalisticexpalidocious Chim Chim Chury Grainger (again, my spelling may not be right here), just wanted to know why the change? Other than that it's really quite good. But, it can get old if you don't take a break from it once in awhile. The Divine Collection will be going to a friend who enjoys British Comedies.

The Immaculate Collection of The Vicar of Dibley is just what I wanted!
However, nothing in its description said that it included The 10th Anniversary or the Wholly Holy. . . .so I ordered all 3 and found out that way.;;p
