'The Vicar of Dibley' is my favourite situation comedy of all time. It's up there with The Good Life, Fawlty Towers and AbFab as being a classic. These latest episodes are all hysterical and the performances are spot on. The best bits are the proposal to Alice re:Aliens and the wedding itself which had me crying with laughter (the best episode ever!). Watch particularly for the last 'Joke' which has to be one of the most touching moments in sitcom history.

Those who have enjoyed The Black Adder or Mr. Bean will be familiar with the comedy of co-writer Richard Curtis, and those who have enjoyed either of these shows will most definitely enjoy The Vicar of Dibley.

This is the fourth volume in the series, and it consists of three 30-minute episodes. Those who've enjoyed the first three volumes will not want to miss this one, which culminates in Hugo and Alice's wedding--an event not to be missed, while romance appears to be "in the air" for the Vicar as well.

The first two episodes are absolutely hilarious too (as always). Firstly, in "Dibley Live," Dibley gets its own radio station, which has everyone eager to host his or her own show and results in a very interesting on-air revelation by one of the parishoners. The upshot of Radio Dibley is newfound (albeit not entirely welcome) fame for the Vicar and her parish in "Celebrity Vicar." Most hilarious of all, however, is the talent show, which has the Vicar donning a tutu and one of her parishoners doing his version of the full monty!

This series is extremely funny indeed, and this volume is certainly no exception. I highly recommend this series, not only to fans of British comedy, but to anyone looking for one of the best comedy series made...ever!

Dawn French is absolutely fabulous as Geraldine Granger, the female vicar who serves as a witty foil to the cast of wacky and unconventional Dibley inhabitants. Truly one of the funniest television comedies ever made anywhere -- as Brian might say..."No No No No No No No Doubt about it! This is funny stuff!"

Dawn French is back as the wonderful Vicar in this three episode set. In Dibley Live, the Vicar and the rest of the townsfolk get an opportunity to fill the radio airwaves. Especially funny is Frank, and his on-air admission that he's gay. In #2, Celebrity Vicar, Geraldine finds that fame is not always a good thing, as the people of Dibley are made to look like England's village idiots. And finally, in Love and Marriage, the vicar plans for Alice and Hugo's wedding day, and meets David's handsome younger brother.

This is a British television series starring the wacky Dawn French as Geraldine Granger. Sheis the female vicar of the sleepy English village of Dibley. Dawn French is perfectly complimented by her co-stars who are the strangest lot you've ever seen. This is the best television series i have ever seen in my life and definetly a must see. If you like the BBC and their productions you will surely love this show. It'll put a smile on your face and brighten up your day.

This tape is worth the price, if only for the wedding for which we have all waited. Only Alice and the good Vicar could bring off an event like this. But wait - the final, single line will drag you to the next two tapes. We have yet to get this next series on our local public TV station. If you too are Vicar-deprived, spend the money. You will be rewarded. My only warning is that Alice gets a little preachy (?!) in the end "jokes".

Richard Curtis, the writer of "Blackadder", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", and "Notting Hill", wrote this hilarious britcom about the adventures of a female vicar in a small English town. True to UK comedy tradition, Dibley is full of daft eccentics who try Geraldine's (Dawn French) Christian patience. This tape includes the classic episode when dirty Owen proposes to the vicar, and the lovable idiots Hugo and Alice finally get together after 26 years--a definite threat to your sphincter control.

Several years ago on our public broadcast channel at 11:00 p.m. I had been watchig a program and on came this quirky religious hymn followed by this woman in Vicker attire, keep in mind that I am a male raised in the united states south, I absolutely fell in love with this great sitcom it has become my favorite of all time, WHAT I DON'T GET why was it so short lived I believe a show like this could go on infititum, Dawn French is a brilliant actress along with the other cast...like peas and carrots they go together well, PRODUCERS GIVE US ONE MORE SEASON!!!!!!!

I am glad that I found the video. I first viewed it on PBS television but since then it doesn't air any longer. It is fresh, funny and the normal British comedy that enlightens our scope of fun and frolic.

I have finish this volume, and can't wait until there are more. Dawn French and the cast of funny folks are just what the doctor order. They have so much to offer in the way of pure enjoyment. I especially found them comforting and enjoyable during the winter months or around noon when there is not that much in the way of entertainment on the TV. I just love so,the Vicar of Dibley and look forward to many more Volumes (i hope) to come. I can not get enough, so if you want laughs go get all volumes.
