Editorial Review: Description: The holidays are usually an eventful time for the eccentric residents of Dibley and their chocoholic female vicar, Geraldine. This year proves to be no exception. Alice gets "the wrong end of a very, very long stick" when she spots a supermodel in her undies in the vicarage. It isn't long before the entire village believes that Gerry is not only one of the first female vicars in England, but also one of the first lesbian vicars! In the New Years special, Gerry is determined to mark the 20th anniversary of Live Aid, but the villagers are determined to give her a birthday present she'll never forget - a blind date with one of them! DVD Features: Biographies:Cast bios Other:2005 Comic Relief Sketch "Antiques Roadshow" Outtakes:"Dibley Defrocked": A hilarious compilation of behind-the-scenes footage and outtakes Amazon.com: The Vicar of Dibley fans rejoice! These two hour-long 10th Anniversary episodes rank with the very best. Even though the last full series was 4 years earlier, the cast hasn't lost their fantastic rapport--particularly the delightful chemistry between feisty Vicar Geraldine Granger (Dawn French, French & Saunders) and her sweet-tempered but dimwitted verger, Alice (Emma Chambers, Notting Hill); these two bounce off of each other like a classic comedy duo. The first episode is Christmas-themed and features a contest to write a new Christmas carol and an implausible (yet very funny) visit from amazonian supermodel Rachel Hunter, which leads everyone to believe that Gerry is gay. The other is supposedly a New Year's episode, but it's really about Gerry's impending birthday, speed-dating, and writing a letter to the Prime Minister about world poverty (culminating in a serious and surprisingly moving plea aimed at the 2005 G8 Summit meeting). As ever, French is the barely-calm center of wildly spinning carousel of village eccentrics and the results are wonderfully funny. Co-written by Richard Curtis (4 Weddings and a Funeral, Bridget Jones' Diary, Love Actually). Also featuring a 14-minute mini-episode created for Comic Relief, also excellent. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - the vicar of dibley, 10th anniversary specialsThis video has become a permanent part of our Christmas collection. We all could use more humor in our lives. Rating: - FUNNY!!!!I laughed, I cried and went back for more. If you enjoyed the t.v. series, you will love this! Rating: - Hilarious!Couldn't stop laughing! The joke after each episode is worth waiting for. The characters are terrific; getting to know them has been a pleasure. Rating: - Thrilled to see more of The Vicar!Being a DVD owner of the complete "Vicar of Dibley" series, I was astonished to find myself watching a never-before-seen episode on PBS one night, and when I checked on Amazon, I found this Anniversary Specials DVD. It is absolutely fantastic Vicar material, they haven't lost their touch, and the assembled cast still has that magic chemistry. I would be thrilled to see more, so come on, Geraldine - you're married now, let's see you juggling church and home duties, or even having a baby! Rating: - Charming people, charming place!One can only imagine what it would be like to live in Dibley. I have watched the Christmas special 8 or 9 times this week. Still funny, even ten years later. They haven't lost any of their charm or wit and each character is funny and unique in their own way. You will find yourself waching over and over as I have. It's like visiting old friends, you never get tired of them. The Vicar of Dibley is simply one of the best british comedies ever to grace the small screen. You will instantly fall in love ...
