Season 1 – The Vicar of Dibley

1994 Holiday Comedy List
Reviews 100% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings
When their elderly vicar passes away, congregation members in Dibley are surprised to find that a woman has been assigned to their parish. And not just any woman -- Geraldine Granger is outgoing, vivacious and fun-loving, as well as caring and committed to her flock. However, her ebullient ways do not initially endear her to the head of the Parish Council, an old-fashioned gentleman farmer who's not a fan of change. Hilarity ensues as Geraldine tries to win over the stodgy council members while staying true to herself and her pastorate. Read More Read Less

Debi Enker The Age (Australia) (It) is also demonstrating that well-written comedy, enlivened by a certain wacky charm, has a timeless quality. May 21, 2019 Full Review Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) A quintessentially English comedy that speaks to old, conservative middle-class values in an unscarily contemporary way. Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Daniel Sperling Digital Spy The Vicar of Dibley then is a character-based sitcom first and a thought piece second. Apr 23, 2019 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media This hilarious sitcom...juxtaposes old and new, conservative and progressive in a decidedly British manner, resulting in an impossible conundrum of oddball characters and ridiculous scenarios. Rated: 4/5 Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
