The Vicar of Dibley
Rewatch every episode on Saturday 10th January from 5pm on U&Gold
A chance to reacquaint oneself to Geraldine Granger – the vibrant, chocolate-loving vicar with a rock ’n’ roll spirit, played by Dawn French in the classic British comedy series. First shown in 1994, Geraldine’s arrival in the delightfully quirky village of Dibley, shakes up the community’s conservative ways, sparking resistance and laughter. As Geraldine navigates scepticism - especially from the formidable David Horton - she gradually wins hearts and proves faith and fun can go hand in hand. This beloved comedy explores themes of community, acceptance, and the challenges of breaking boundaries in a traditional world.
