The Vicar of Dibley - The Complete Series 3

Better than Fawlty Towers

I'm crazy about Britcoms, but never quite understood the whole Fawlty Towers thing; it's good, but not all that and a bag of chips. *This* series, though, is all that, a bag of chips and a chocolate-dipped ice cream cone.

Dawn French is perfect as a woman vicar. At the time the series was first being made, there were only a handful of women vicars in Britain, and her role was meant to get the idea out to everyone in a humorous way. The series was co-written by Richard Curtis specifically for Dawn, and he did a wonderful, wonderful job in bringing out equal rights, religious controversy, village living and jousting among friends and neighbors.

Although I own many TV series on DVD, I go back to this one time and again for fun and relaxation; I never get bored with it. My only regret is that, like so many other good shows, all you get is these three seasons and a few specials. Be sure to check out other DVDs on this show, too. June 25, 2008

The Vicar of Dibley - The Complete Series 3

I enjoy this DVD as I know I can have a good laugh and have watched it several times. It appeals to my sense of humour. Each of the characters have their own individual brand of humour - but the cake must go to Alice, with her deadpan face, followed by Geraldine. The fact that the "swearing" is minimal is a nice change.
I didn't get to watch the complete series on TV and borrowed a few "Dibley" DVD's from the local library. My daughter suggested I try ordering from Amazon - it was actually quite simple to do, once I got the hang of it! I'm sure that I'll be ordering others in the future. January 18, 2007

more laughs from the BBC's divine comedy hit

Return to the loopy English village of Dibley, with this DVD containing the complete third series of THE VICAR OF DIBLEY, Richard Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer's divine comedy hit from the BBC.

"Autumn" - Alice and Hugo return from their honeymoon with some unexpected news, meanwhile Geraldine's romance with David's roguish brother Simon heats up.

"Winter" - A very pregnant Alice wins the role of Mary in the annual Nativity play by default and causes a furore when she actually goes into labour during the performance!

"Spring" - Gerry makes plans to establish a creche at St. Barnabus.

"Summer" - When water shortages threaten the village, Gerry stages a protest against a proposed new reservoir. Meanwhile, the council members discuss the subject for a possible millennium commemoration statue.

Lots of fun with all your favourite characters. Starring Dawn French, Emma Chambers, James Fleet, Gary Waldhorn, John Bluthal, Roger Lloyd Pack and Trevor Peacock.

The DVD includes a couple of great bonuses: "Ballykissdibley", which features Father Clifford from BALLYKISSANGEL vistiting the town of Dibley. The 1999 Red Nose Day Special features Gerry mingling with Johnny Depp, Fergie and more when a film company sets up shop in Dibley. There's also a fascinating doco called "The Real Vicars of Dibley" which charts the lives of similar real-life vicars who lead unconventional lives. Includes interviews with the cast and writers of the series. April 28, 2006
