The 100-something vicar of the small English village of Dibley has passed on. A new vicar has been requested for a replacement. What they get is Geraldine Granger, a non-traditional, chocolate loving, rock n' roll playing vicar. That is not what gets the citizens of Dibley in a uproar though. It's because she is a woman. Still, that doesn't stop Geraldine from proving her worthiness to the village. After time, the villagers (with the exception of influential David Horton) accept Geraldine as The Vicar of Dibley. —Pat McCurry <ccgrad97@aol.com>

Trivia
Dawn French initially requested to play Alice Tinker, because she felt the vicar wouldn't be funny enough, and that she understood Alice's humor. She later requested that the Vicar have some sort of faults - hence her being a bit lonely, a bit vain, and having a massive chocolate obsession.

Goofs
It is established that Geraldine is single, yet she clearly wears a wedding ring.

Quotes
[on hearing that Hugo is going out with Alice, David redrafts his will]
David Horton: Ah Hugo, I was just showing the vicar my new will.
Hugo: Come on papa, you're not that angry. It's like the time you tried to convince me you were Father Christmas. I saw through that and I can see through this.
David Horton: Then you see wrong. If you continue to consort with that Tinker twerp, you will no longer be welcome in this house, you will no longer be my son, and as this will attests, you will have *nothing*.
Hugo: [long pause] On the contrary sir. I shall have everything in the world that I desire.

Crazy credits
End credits always begin with 'Bless you for watching'.

An absolute delight!

The Brits have a flare for comedy that is unmatched and it is exhibited strongly in Vicar of Dibley. You'll find yourself laughing until tears roll down your cheeks.
