I have a soft spot for this great British comedy and i always find myself watching old episodes on UKTV gold even though i've seen them god know's how many times; it still never fails to make me smile.
Dawn French plays the role of the first female vicar in Dibley brilliant, she has a softness and rapport with all the characters but especially Alice who she seems to tolerate even when she's talking utter rubbish and not understanding her jokes! She also really cares about the church and helping people and is one cool vicar.
the good thing about this sitcom is that it's an ensemble piece, no one tries to out-do each other and there are no big shots, just great actors. I don't hate any of the characters (although Letitia Cropley is probably the weakest). I love Hugo and David's relationship and i love Owen, Frank and Jim together at the Parrish meetings, they're hilarious, especially when they break into song and dance routines! It's also nice to see older characters for a change.
The writing's quite bold and i love the references to British celebrities and current events; it's great to see who has been replaced on Geraldine's 'hot men' wall next to Jesus; sometimes it's Sean Bean, sometimes Robbie Williams.
Another thing i like is that it's set in a small village where everybody knows each other, Geri's the only sane one (and maybe David) surrounded by people who are plain bonkers, but she still loves them and Dibley has a place in her heart.
The joke at the end is always funny where Alice struggles to get the punchline so don't turn off when the credits start rolling! Go on, give this programme a go, guaranteed you'll be in stitches!
