The Vicar of Dibley is a British television sitcom, created and written by Richard Curtis, and produced by Tiger Aspect Productions for BBC One.
It stars Dawn French as Geraldine Granger, the first-ever female vicar assigned to the position in the small Oxfordshire village of Dibley.
The townsfolk all want to be involved, while Geraldine falls for the show's producer Tristan Campbell (played by Peter Capaldi), and David, meanwhile, becomes enamoured of Ruth, the camera operator.
When David goes to some considerable lengths to demonstrate that he is prepared to change himself for Geraldine, she is swept away by his declaration of love and ends up accepting.
Meanwhile, at a party to celebrate her anniversary, David invites the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams (played by Brian Perkins).
Meanwhile, Geraldine is trying to get the villagers enthusiastic about the 20th anniversary of Live Aid and encourages them to write to the Prime Minister about the Make Poverty History campaign.
Harry sensitively leaves her alone to research dresses, but the parishioners invade, taking over all the organisation as a thank you gift for Geraldine's decade of friendship.
Hugo presents a disastrous This Is Your Life, but the evening is saved when a power cut gives the group opportunity to simply chat and show their appreciation for each other.
Before the wedding, Owen, Jim and Rev Jeremy Ogilvy (played by Hugh Bonneville), an old college friend whom Geraldine has chosen to conduct the service, all propose to her.
Geraldine attends the ceremony in her pyjamas – Harry's favourite pair – with Alice dressed as the Tenth Doctor and Dalek bridesmaids.
Meanwhile, Geraldine flirts with an attractive vicar (Damian Lewis) and Frank's failing hearing leads him to make some major slip ups.
Guest starring Richard Ayoade, Annette Crosbie, Maureen Lipman, Emma Watson, Ruth Jones, Jennifer Saunders and Fiona Bruce.
The latest parish council meeting was also relayed, though attempts to use Zoom backfire as no one else has a computer, so Geraldine is left to make all the decisions herself.
For Comic Relief 2021, Dawn French appeared as Geraldine alongside real-life TV vicar Rev Kate Bottley lip-syncing to Juice by Lizzo.
These lockdown minis were made, set and shown during the pandemic when churches were closed for many months and congregations across the UK met virtually via methods such as Zoom.
