The Vicar of Dibley: The Complete Series Two & Specials

The sleepy village of Dibley has a new vicar, but it's not your standard order bloke with beard, bible and bad breath, it's Dawn French, of the hilarious comedy duo French and Saunders. Armed with a sharp wit, a double dose of double entendre and healthy supply of chocolate, she brings the town's lovable—though rather eccentric—inhabitants a hysterical new outlook on life, love and the Church of England that will leave audiences in stitches!

In Series Two, romance is in the air when Geraldine plays Cupid to Alice and Hugo, and then, when she least expects it, is struck by Cupid's Arrow herself. Meanwhile, the parishioners of Dibley delve into the murky world of the media by setting up their own radio station.

Includes the episodes: The Easter Bunny, The Christmas Lunch Incident, Engagement, Dibley Live, Celebrity Vicar , Love and Marriage

The Easter Bunny - When David suggests Geraldine gives up chocolate for Lent, she agrees. But has she enough willpower, especially with David going out of his way to tempt her? Alice is convinced that the Easter Bunny exists and lives in Dibley, but Geraldine is even more surprised when she discovers that so do the rest of the villagers! Letitia is in on the secret and passes it onto Geraldine just before she dies.

The Christmas Lunch Incident - Christmas is coming and Geraldine is having problems preparing her sermon for “the biggest gig of the year”. But she is looking forward to opening all 30 of her chocolate Advent calendars and then, of course, there’s all that lovely turkey, roast potatoes and Christmas pudding on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, this year she receives four separate invitations to Christmas dinner and is too kind-hearted to let anyone down...

Engagement - Lovebirds Alice and Hugo have been stuck in the "Gazing Soppily At Each Other" phase of their relationship for nearly a decade now. Geraldine feels it is time to move on and decides to play Cupid. It's not easy but, once she sets the ball rolling and they kiss, it proves even more difficult to prise them apart. While everyone else thinks it will be a marriage made in heaven, David is totally opposed and threatens to disown Hugo. Matters become even more complicated when Geraldine receives an unexpected and unwelcome marriage proposal from Owen Newitt.

Dibley Live - Geraldine sets up Radio Dibley in a bid to bring the community closer together. It should prove interesting as Hugo only has two records for which to DJ, and Alice is busy trying to impress David enough to make him think her a worthy wife for Hugo. Geraldine conducts the world’s first phone-in without a single telephone call, then there is Radio Dibley’s Brain of Britain Quiz Night, and a real surprise for everyone when Frank comes out of the closet.

Celebrity Vicar - When Geraldine is asked to be Terry Wogan's guest on BBC Radio 2's Pause For Thought, she suddenly gets a taste of fame and it goes to her head. The papers print unkind articles on everyone, and Geraldine gets the blame. She comes to her senses in time for the local variety show, a memorable occasion featuring Owen's farting duck, Jim doing the Full Monty, and the prima ballerina from the Royal Ballet and her less elegant new dancing partner.

Love and Marriage - Geraldine prepares for Alice and Hugo's wedding day – there's Alice's dress to discuss, a best man to sort out, and a bachelorette party to be had! Just when everything seems fine, Alice reveals a hitch that might just be the biggest hitch in the history of hitches. And Geraldine has fallen hopelessly in love, but will her affections be reciprocated?
