The Vicar Of Dibley

[Vicar]

:eek:
Can't believe I haven't started this thread before this!


One thing I've noticed about the actors in British Comedy. They are not "one hit wonders". The supporting casts are every bit the stars as are the primary characters!

For instance, On "The Vicar of Dibley", Trevor Peackock (plays the character of Jim) No No No ... Yes he does!

I just love him....take a peek at his impressive (IMO) bio:

Remember the 1968 hit song ..."Mrs Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter"??

:lol:

I saw Trevor Peacock on one of the Thin Blue Line eppys.....was waiting during his entire part for his famous line that didn't come. :)

Glad you enjoyed them. Don't get up and go anywhere when the credits roll...a 'joke moment' always follows between The Vicar and Alice. :)

[Lucas The Tucas]

NO__NO__NO__NO______YES !

WHEW ! THERE'S HOPE FOR GREG !

There's more to life than AYBS ?,Horror Films, and "Benny Hill"... :o

The "Arrival and Songs of Praise" are two good ones to start with...

Greg your day is probaly better already !

Have a Good Day and watch more of the "VOD"...

:D Way to go Greg ! :D

Lucas :D

[I'm free!]

I love the Vicar of Dibley too. I also enjoy Keeping Up Appearances. I was never very fond of Waiting For God or Next Of Kin and wondered how many of you have seen those and what you thought of them.

[Lucas The Tucas]

I can only help you with WFG...

It took me about 6 shows before I got into it...

I love it... :D But, it has been a few years from the last show...

Thanks for posting the photo. I've missed seeing Tom and Diana. It's indeed a wonderful show!!

I've noticed that our local PBS does not ever run BOTH "Waiting For God" and "The Vicar Of Dibley" in the same season...
:roll:

...and I also find that fact quite amusing.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I got a few Brit coms.... The trouble is that I get so busy, with life and the board has kept me busy for the last few weeks, that I don't get time to watch them. I blew the dust off of my VOD last night and I quite enjoyed it !!!! I'll try and watch more tonight !!!

[Lucas The Tucas]

Sounds like a winner ! Greg :D

Just grab a Keystone or two and watch VOD. and have a few laughs...

Lucas :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Well I watched the next two eppys of VOD last night. "Community Spirit" and "The Window and the Weather". CS had me laughing me arse off and the WATW was ok.....

[Lucas The Tucas]

:P I'm Glad to know that You like the show ! :P

MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM

I also notice that you didn't say anything about the "Keystones" that you drank while watching VOD..... :shrug:

Or maybe it's "IRON CITY" that you like... :mrgreen:

I'm not a big beer drinker but, I don't mind saying that; EVERY NOW AND THEN I LIKE A COLD "LONG STAR"... :D

Ps. Last night it would have tasted great but, I didn't drink anything...

YVG.Friend :mrgreen:

Just curious Lucas, is that a LONE STAR in a LONG NECK bottle?

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Sorry, but I don't drink..... :shrug:

[DuranFan]

I absolutely LOVE the Vicar of Dibley! I remember watching it for the first time on PBS a few years ago and then, like the next day, I ordered all the VHS tapes off Amazon :lol: Then they ended up releasing the DVD box set of the show a couple of months after I got my tapes -- so I ended up ordering that too! Obsessed much? :lol:

I enjoy watching Waiting For God too -- EXCELLENT SHOW! Love Basil -- the line about him wanting that condom machine for the gents toilets made me DIE laughing! What a perv! :P

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Explain the joke for me...... (I'm thinking like Alice here)

Two nuns are taking a bath. The one nun asks "Where's the soap?" and the other nun says, "Yes it does."

I don't get it ????? :shrug:

:lol2: :lol2:
That was the best explain-ation I could muster, Greg.

Come On Guys! Y'all gotta help Greg with it now.

[sonosun]

The rubbin' and scrubbin' cause the soap to get smaller.

Makes the soap smaller? Yes It does.
Wears the soap? Yes It does.
Where's the soap? Yes it does.
(sounds like the second one don't it.)

[Vicar]

Way to go sonosun!!! That should do it! :)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Now I get it !!!!!!... that was a really bad joke !!!!!
Thank you guys for trying to get that one through my thick head !!!! :lol2:

I have just finished all 3 Seasons plus the "Red Nose Special" plus "Ballykissdibley" and all I can say is "BRAVO" !!!!!!
I wished to GOD (hear me Oh Lord ?????) that they would do 2 or 3 hundred more Seasons !!!!! I love everything about this show. The writing was superb, the characters are the greatest bunch of people since AYBS?. This is a show that I can get totally lost in.
Thank you Vicar and everyone else for opening my eyes to this show !!!! :hat:

The Vicar of Dibley
Paul Hoggart on a national institution



There is a vacancy in the Christmas schedule since Del Boy?s Reliant Robin finally sputtered off to the great Peckham council estate in the sky. It?s the space where the warm-hearted family comedy goes, the comedy that isn?t hip or edgy or dark; but which eight out of ten viewers say they prefer.
Only Fools and Horses won the BBC?s nation?s favourite sitcom poll earlier this year. For many the big surprise was that The Vicar of Dibley came third. The story of an irreverent, chocolate-loving woman vicar descending on a rural parish full of harmless eccentrics never achieved critical rapture. It wasn?t ground- breaking or dangerous, but that didn?t matter to the viewers, who loved it.

It is five years since the last episode and Geraldine Granger is ?older and wider?, as Dawn French puts it. The ensemble are all back with her for three new shows: Alice, the dim-witted verger, now the mother of ten children by the drippy Hugo Horton; Hugo?s haughty father, David; the not-quite- with-it Jim Trott; the boring Frank; and the lovelorn farmer Owen Newitt, played by Roger Lloyd Pack. French has said that going back to rehearsals ?felt like putting a nice old cardie on?.



Pack, of course, is also a veteran of Only Fools and Horses, in which he played Trigger, so he has become a minor Christmas institution in his own right. ?The show is a sweet, kind- hearted programme,? he says. ?It has a very gentle humour, and I guess it?s very safe and reminds people of a lost age. There?s an innocence about it that?s absent from our life now.?

In the Christmas episode, Geraldine reflects on ten years as vicar. As the parishioners prepare to celebrate her anniversary she wonders if she has wasted her life in this ossified corner of the country. Yet French recalls that the theme of a woman priest, if not the style of the show, was still controversial when it started. ?A lot of the mail I got was from vicars. These were Christian people using appalling language and telling me where to shove it, basically.?

Richard Curtis, who tweaks the scripts during rehearsals, also likes to lace the show with a dash of sexual frisson. ?He?s not above a bit of smut,? says Pack. The Christmas episode flirts with the concept of clerical lesbianism, a theme that reaches a climax with an eye-widening guest appearance by the model Rachel Hunter. There is another surprise guest visit near the end of the show that may have viewers wondering if they can believe what they have seen.

But there?s nothing remotely shocking. If you cringe, it won?t be with the embarrassment induced by The Office. ?People used to be sniffy about it for not having attitude,? says Pack. ?But it has really grown on people.? A bit like French?s old cardie.

I just spoke with my daughter who loved this show before I did... and she has seen the Christmas 2004 show ( and wasn't exactly wild about it ~ maybe it was more risqu? than she likes ).

I have not seen where it was released for sale anywhere.

I guess they could package the Christmas 2004 and the New Year 2005 eppys together?

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I guess they could package the Christmas 2004 and the New Year 2005 eppys together?

That's what the Amazon thing said. I thought there were to be 3 eppy's but 2 are better than none !!!!!!

Glad you like the wallie !!!!! :mrgreen:

[Zircon]

I remember both specials around last Christmas and New Year. Though I obviously can't speak for anyone other than myself, I'd doubt very much that it was their 'risqu?' overtones which caused them to be less well-received. I enjoyed the first one more than the second. I speak as someone who's always enjoyed the show (fave ep - the radio show where Frank comes out).

The new year episode was focused around Richard Curtis's involvement in the "Stop World Poverty" campaign. A very noble cause, and one which has had my own support for a long time. But rubbing our noses in it at the end of a Christmassy episode of Dibley just felt ... forced.

I'm not saying comedies can't have their moments of drama, or pathos, or introspection. My very favourite comedies down the years have indulged in just this technique. But in this case, it felt really contrived and - quite honestly - put my back up.

Dawn French is still a goddess, though. And the French and Saunders pastiche of Silence of the Lambs remains the best film-skit EVER!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Thanks for the info Zircon !!!!! Amazon has these coming out in Septemeber so I eagerly await them !!!!!

How many people would have loved to see the Vicar and David get married ???? :shrug:

I would have !!!!!

[Zircon]

How many people would have loved to see the Vicar and David get married ???? :shrug:

I would have !!!!!

Not so much. I mean, I liked the fact that they explored the idea. And I really liked the utterly plausible characterisations that went with it. And most of all, I really really liked the way Geraldine came to her very sensible conclusions -- that they were both lonely, that she was on the rebound, so on, so forth.

David's such a git, anyway. He doesn't even begin to deserve the Vixter. And with those politics, too ... <shudder>

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

But he was worth 5 million quid !!!!!! :mrgreen:

[Vicar]

How many people would have loved to see the Vicar and David get married ???? :shrug:



Not me!!

Tho, it was a kinda fun idea,
I pretty much have to agree with Zircon on this one. David's terribly undeserving! :)

[Lucas The Tucas]

MMMMMM

MARRIED and then have a little "HUGO THE SECOND"... :cry:

Dawn French and Sean Bean? Who could argue! Way better than the dodgy Hugh Grant snog on Comic Relief.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Who snogged Hugh Grant ?????? :shrug:

[Zircon]

Who snogged Hugh Grant ?????? :shrug:

Dawn French.

Though I'm sure if a movie came along where it was integral to the plot, Sean Bean would have a go.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

You go Dawn !!!! I'm watching her now on an eppy of Ab Fab when Patsy goes on Telie and Dawn French is the host.

[Zircon]

You go Dawn !!!! I'm watching her now on an eppy of Ab Fab when Patsy goes on Telie and Dawn French is the host.


"Yeah, cheers, thanks a lot ..."


Joanna Lumley's comic timing and delivery is impeccable. I've loved her as Purdey in the New Avengers, I've worshipped her as Sapphire in the (incredible) Sapphire and Steel.

(Excuse me a moment ... mmmmmm, David McCallum ... okay I'm fine.)

But Ab Fab was such a new lease of life for her. And she definitively proved that her range as an actor is formidable.


I've noted that all the wonderful Comic Strip Presents films have been released as a boxed set. Lots of lovely French, Saunders, Rik and Ade, et al, in there. If you've never seen them, they're well worth getting.

You get a BIG AMen Bruvver Zircon for that one !!!! I would love to get the CSP Box set.... *rushes off to see if it's available in Region one*

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I love all the "IN" jokes on VOD.
First when they thought Elton John was coming. Reg Dwight sees the sign and the Vicar replies "That's Ben Elton".
Ben Elton Co-Wrote "The Young Ones" which had Jen Saunders and Dawn French in a couple of eppys.

The Vicar in one eppy cracks a joke about the Queen doing a speech, probably written by Ruby Wax.
Ruby Wax does the scripts for Ab Fab, starred in two eppys of Ab Fab and starred in Girls On Top with Saunders and French.
If I can think of anymore (besides the J-O-H-N I-N-M-A-N jokes) I'll let you know !!!

[Jeff Humphries]

I love the John inman jokes of Vicar. 2 of them I think.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I love the John inman jokes of Vicar. 2 of them I think.

Yes, the "He's so gay he makes John Inman look like Jean Claude Van Dam"
and
David - "I think Hugo is J-O-H-N I-N-M-A-N"
Vicar - "You think Hugo Is John Inman ???? OH !!! You think Hugo Homosexual ????" :lol2:

Just saw the Vicar's new siggy (the pic of Dawn French) ... she's so dishy :wink: Honestly, ever since I started watching Dibley (which was about three or four years ago) I've always thought that Dawn French was quite stunning. Her husband's not so bad either (Lenny Henry from "CHEF!") :wink:

Thanks for noticing the change DuranFan! It's a better fit for the board.

I've never seen Chef!
For others that also aren't familiar with it:

Chef! is a British sitcom starring Lenny Henry that aired as 20 episodes over three series from 1993 to 1996 on the BBC.

Henry stars as Gareth Blackstock, the arrogant, tyrannical and driven chef, and later owner, of a gourmet restaurant called Le Chateau Anglais in the English countryside.
Gareth usually treats people, except his wife Janice, but including customers and investors, with contempt and humourously goes into sarcastic tirades when someone especially attracts his ire. One of his favourite targets is his inexperienced sous chef Everton.

The restaurant was modelled on, and many scenes were filmed at, Le Manoir Aux Quatre Saisons, a restaurant in Oxfordshire owned by chef Raymond Blanc.

:lol: Quote: Gareth - "Let me explain the order of things for you. There's the aristocracy, the upper class, middle class, working class, dumb animals, waiters, creeping things, head lice, people who eat packet soup, and then you."

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Did a few "Vicar Of Dibley" wallies if anyone is interested ????? :shrug:

[DuranFan]

CHEF! is an awsome show -- one you guys should definetly check out as soon as you can!! :P

Thank You

You're Welcomed Lucas. :mrgreen:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I just got "TVOD" 10th Anniversary Specials on DVD !!! It has the Christmas Special and New Years Special from last year.
The Christmas Special was good. Great to see the cast all back together again. The New Years Special was OK. It has it's moments but ended up being a depressing advertisement for the G8 Summit. Make me laugh people, don't bum me the Hell out !! :cry:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Greg if it's that bad...I'll be happy to look at it... :shrug:

YVGF. :D

Lucas :D

Ps... I'll skip over the junk...

[Assistant 134]

I'll finally get to see this Britcom next week when my PBS station will start airing it. :mrgreen:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Rachael

:D I think that YOU WILL LOVE IT...

Ps. BE SURE TO WATCH THE FIRST ONE...{A GREAT START}.

:lol: :lol:

Lucas :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Greg if it's that bad...I'll be happy to look at it... :shrug:

YVGF. :D

Lucas :D

Ps... I'll skip over the junk...

It's not that it was bad, I just hate it when a comedy tries to take a turn for the serious. I know things are bad in the other parts of the world blah, blah, blah but I don't need one of the funniest show in history to cram it down me throat. :evil:

[sonosun]

I have to agree with Greg. I watch comedy to be entertained. I watch the news when I want to be depressed.

[Lucas The Tucas]

You are both right...

You should be able to escape for 30 minutes or more with a comedy...

That time should be pure enjoyment...

Lucas :D

[Lucas The Tucas]

Dear Rachael

How do you like this show ?

Lucas :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Rach... are you there Rach ????? :shrug:

[Lucas The Tucas]

Greg

I think she {Rach.} went to sleep or FORGOT about it... :shrug:

Lucas :mrgreen:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'll have to see if she's watched VOD yet....

[Assistant 134]

Well, I watch in The Vicar. Pretty good. It will take some time to get use to it. Although I can't believe that PBS aired that boob joke....lol

[Lucas The Tucas]

AHHHHH Rach. Backkkk !

It has a few jokes in it.

Lucas :D

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Give it a go Rach, I fell in love with the show from the get go. I got to get back to doing my Vicar wallies and I was even thinking of have a VOD part on my site !!!

[Assistant 134]

Wow !! I'll have to check that out now.

[Jeff Humphries]

I'm patiently waiting for your VOD page Wib, I know if you're doing it, it's going to be good.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'm patiently waiting for your VOD page Wib, I know if you're doing it, it's going to be good.

I think I'm going to do a few more wallies tonight JH. Hopefully before the Holiday is upon us, I can get a page up and running. If not, then after the Hoidays because I'm redoing my site.

[Lucas The Tucas]

OH MY !

:eek: A REDO SITE !

Lucas

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'm working on the rest of the site buddy. I'm happy I got the VICAR page up and running though....

[Assistant 134]

Well, the first time my PBS station aired this, I just couldn't get into it. Now, my second PBS station is airing it, so I gave it another try. I LOVE IT!!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Fantastic show !!!! The whole ensemble cast is one of the best !!!

[Assistant 134]

I'm hoping that since the show has ended now, PBS will run the whole show to the end.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

They might run the whole series but I doubt they will run the specials.

[Lucas The Tucas]

Rach,

Channel 8, started showing TVOD ..... in January. 8)

They started with the first eppy.

Lucas :nightandday:

But, like the WIBBY said They might run the whole series but I doubt they will run the specials. :sad:

[Assistant 134]

I don't know. I've seen all the Christmas specials

[Lucas The Tucas]

Rach

You can bet money.

That Channel 8 won't show, the Christmas Specials. :cry:

Lucas

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Even the Christmas specials from 2005 and 2006 ???

[Assistant 134]

I don't know. I've seen the one where Alice gave birth while dressed as Mary

[Lucas The Tucas]

Rach

That's an OLDIE !:theclock:

C.8 hasn't had the VOD on ..... MMMMM......98-99-OO-01...

They ran it ONE orrrrrrrr maybe two times.

It's has been a day or two.:b**ch:

Lucas

[Lucas The Tucas]

Rach ... I've seen the one where Alice gave birth while dressed as Mary

Blimey !

That's the one that C. 8, had on last night. :beerchug:

Lucas

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I don't know. I've seen the one where Alice gave birth while dressed as Mary

That one is from Season 3, there were 2 more Christmas specials since then.

[Assistant 134]

ok. Well, then I haven't seen all of them then.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I'm sure you will in time dear.

[Lucas The Tucas]

Rach,

Maybe Bruvther Greg, will send the "BOTH of Us" a copy of his to watch !


:083: Lucas :saludando:


{The Christmas eppies}...

[Assistant 134]

Maybe, L, just maybe! :clap:

[British_Fan]

Google video has many of the episodes in full (http://video.google.co.uk/videosearch?q=vicar+of+dibley&num=10&so=0&start=0)

[sueschmitt]

Another whole series I have yet have never watched it..... :shrug:

Oh Mr. WibblyWobbly you must watch it, you will love it. At the end of each episode Dawn French, who plays the Vicar Geraldine Grainger has a joke session with Alice Tinker the Berger and Alice is not the brightest bulb in the pack so to speak and she is very slow to get the jokes' punchlines if ever.

[sueschmitt]

That one is from Season 3, there were 2 more Christmas specials since then.

Actually one was her supposedly 10 year anniversary as Vicar of Dibley and the other one was a New Year's special. I got all 3 seasons and the reunion specials. I heard that there is supposed to be another special soon anyone else heard?

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Oh, I love the Vicar !!! You must have quoted me from a very early post. I love the Vicar so much that I even have a page of her on my site. I did some Vicar wallies. You must visit my site Sue, great stuff there !!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Actually one was her supposedly 10 year anniversary as Vicar of Dibley and the other one was a New Year's special. I got all 3 seasons and the reunion specials. I heard that there is supposed to be another special soon anyone else heard?

I loved the 10th Anniversary special (Christmas 2005) but wasn't too happy with the New Years Special, too political.

This past Christmas they released the last Vicar. I won't give anything away but it was a fantastic show !!!

[Lucas The Tucas]

Dear SUE,

I haven't checked on how many, that they made ...

I thought that they did one, for 2006 ...


And __ British Fan,

Thanks for the __ LINK !

Lucas:saludando:

[Assistant 134]

Saturday was the Engagement eppy between ALice and Hugo. I loved it!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I loved Season 2 !!! Hell I loved them all !!!

[Assistant 134]

Just seen the eppy where Jim strips.... :emotlol: I never laughed so hard in my life and the farting the duck was priceless!!!! Great stuff, Wibbie, huh? :wink: :kiss: :emotlol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

The farting duck is one of my favorites !!! Also in that eppy when Frank is doing impressions and Owen yells "Get off the stage you sad and insane man" !!!!

[Assistant 134]

:emotlol:

[offthefloor]

all those are great, but alice and hugo's wedding has got to be the funniest episode in the series..with alice playing the virgin mary coming a close second

[Assistant 134]

Yes, OFT, I love Alice's wedding gown. Her vale was cute. It lit up. :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

When that strange lady bust in the wedding and says that "he" was already married then realizes it was the wrong church was hilarious !! Especially when Alice hits the floor. :emotlol:

[sirrichard]

Just seen the eppy where Jim strips.... :emotlol: I never laughed so hard in my life and the farting the duck was priceless!!!! Great stuff, Wibbie, huh? :wink: :kiss: :emotlol:

That was so funny!!! The best, could not believe my eyes! :thumbup:

:shock: !!!!!!!!!!!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Watching Season 2 right now !!

[sirrichard]

No, no, no, no, no, YES!:emotlol:

[Assistant 134]

No, no, no, no, no, YES!:emotlol:

ROTFLMAO!!!! :emotlol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Jim - "Is sex with Poodles always a bad thing ??"

Vicar - "And do you have someone to speak on the flip side of that Jim?"

Owen - "He certainly has !!"

[sueschmitt]

Another whole series I have yet have never watched it..... :shrug:

Greg you gotta watch it its fab. Dawn French plays the Vicar of Dibley. Needless to say at first the local magistrate or whatever David Horton is/was went to the Bishop to complain about her but everyone else adored her. Her best line was sort of like "I bet you were expecting a bloke, with a bible and bad breath instead you got a babe, with a bob and a magnificanct bosum". You'll love it.

[sueschmitt]

Watching Season 2 right now !!

Oh well ignore previous post LOL!

[sueschmitt]

ROTFLMAO!!!! :emotlol:

The wife said yes, yes, yes to Jim's no, no, no I guess for their kids????

[sueschmitt]

I love the Vicar of Dibley too. I also enjoy Keeping Up Appearances. I was never very fond of Waiting For God or Next Of Kin and wondered how many of you have seen those and what you thought of them.

We loved Waiting for God and KUA. We could identify with characters in them unforunately LOL! Saturday nights are sad when there's pledge drives.

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Oh well ignore previous post LOL!

When you quoted me, that must have been from a while ago. I've had a "Vicar" page up on my web site for a while now.

[Assistant 134]

:lucas01:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I hope they release just the end special, I got everything else.

[Assistant 134]

Happy buying Wibbie!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Already have the box set and the Comic Relief and the Last Eppy. :D

[jane]

I was totally delighted to see the new.. well new to me.. i think from 2006 or so.. episodes of the Vicar on my pbs station.. i cried like a baby when the last "new" show aired.. but oh my.. i was smiling too... If you have not watched it.. watch it.. Right now! go now! rent it! watch it!

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I loved the last eppy but the Comic Relief one wasn't as good as it could have been. I really would have loved to see it end with Gerry having a baby !!

[offthefloor]

I haven't seen the last eppys, even though vicar is cycling like crazy on my pbs station they (pbs) must not have permission to air the last episodes yet so I am just gonna order the last ones online

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Got to watching this religiously again. Get it ???? Vicar-religiously ... :lol: :lol:

[Lucas The Tucas]

No ! No ! No ! ..... Yes !
And I thought all the dust, from it had you sneezing, out of control. :lol:



:lucas01:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

:emotlol:

[luvtrevor]

Courtesy of my local PBS, I just now have seen the episode where the Vicar has to change a baby's nappy, and that very moment the doorbell rang. So Vicar answers the door and her hands are covered with all this 'brown' stuff.... ewwwwwwwww. ;)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

What's more shocking than that is the fact that she lets the baby fall off the counter.

[Goldie]

What's more shocking than that is the fact that she lets the baby fall off the counter.

:wildeyes:






:goldie:

[Eva]

What's more shocking than that is the fact that she lets the baby fall off the counter....

...And left it on the floor :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

...And left it on the floor :lol:

Face down in a diaper full of feces. :lol:

[offthefloor]

not to mention the person at the door was a representative of child services wasn't it...and she later falls on her face slipping on the feces :lol:

this episode is amazing, along with her actual wedding....although I still say Alice and Hugo's wedding was better than Gerrys

[Eva]

Yeah, she was :lol:

I agree - Alice and Hugo's wedding was so much better than Geraldine and Harry's - although, my all time favourite episode would have to be the episode 'Happy New Year' - it was funny yet so sad - I still donate to World Vision (I started after viewing that episode)

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

I loved Gerry's wedding but the one thought that kept sticking in my head was "after this there is no more Vicar" and I think that really ruined it for me.
I really think the show should have ended with Gerry having a baby. It would have been more "rounded" especially with Gerry getting all broody with baby Geraldine.

[offthefloor]

seeing Gerry Pregnant would have been Hilarious!!! I wish she had had a baby, mainly because if would have been a great catapult watching her go through labor :lol:

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

They could have done so much with that situation, it's a shame they didn't.

[daft boy]

Imagine Gerry going into labor early and Owen delivering it??

[Greg WibblyWobbly]

Gerry going into labor could have been a hilarious situation. Especially her screaming at every man that was present and her telling them how much she hates them. :lol:

[MissRnR]

I love The Vicar of Dibley. I have found with this comedy is that I don't have a favourite character because it is so well written.

My favourite bit though is when she jumps into that puddle. :lol: I know its coming but it gets me every time.
