Product Description:
The winner of an International Emmy(R) Award for Best Comedy Program The Vicar of Dibley is one of the most popular series ever produced by the BBC. It boasts the brilliant comic writing of Richard Curtis (Love Actually Bridget Jones's Diary) and a gifted ensemble cast led by Dawn French of the hilarious comedy duo French and Saunders. The sleepy village of Dibley was blindsided back in 1994 by the arrival of its new vicar -- who had the audacity to be a woman! Over the twelve ensuing years -- with the help of a sharp wit a double dose of double entendre and a healthy supply of chocolate -- she gradually won the hearts of even the crustiest of the town's eccentric inhabitants. This collection contains every episode ever created of this brilliant comedy series and it promises to warm your heart while keeping you in fits of hysteria along the way!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 794051414823 Manufacturer No: E4148

Rating:  - Could we get on with it I have a worrying feeling (NOT)....
Having gotten the set before the 2006 additions (The Handsome Stranger and Vicar In White, AKA Holy Wholly Happy Ending) I was eager to get this set and have it complete with ALL the specials over the course of the Vicar's 12 year life (now 14 being 2008). If you all ready have the Divine Collection all you really need to get is Holy Wholly Happy Ending DVD, it has "The Handsome Stranger" (2006) and "Vicar In White" (2006). If you haven't gotten the Vicar Of Dibley collection yet, this is the one to get "The Immaculate Collection" has the entire series, all the specials and features including the above mentioned 2006 episodes. It's a nice way to end the series if there are to be no more Vicar Of Dibley specials or episodes. I hope there may be. The only thing I am curious about with regards to the series is that it is mentioned that Geraldine Grainger's (the vicar) real first name is Bodicia (I may not have spelled it correctly). In the Vicar In White finale, it's said her name is Geraldine Julie Andrews Dick Van Dyke Supercalifragalisticexpalidocious Chim Chim Chury Grainger (again, my spelling may not be right here), just wanted to know why the change? Other than that it's really quite good. But, it can get old if you don't take a break from it once in awhile. The Divine Collection will be going to a friend who enjoys British Comedies.
Rating:  - Only for Fawlty Tower fans
The premise seemed so appealing and the reviews were so good that I ordered the entire collection. I found the laugh track extremely irritating, and the humor reminiscent of the few moments of Fawlty Towers that I have accidentally overheard on a few occasions. My patience wore out about half way throught the first episode.
If you are a Fawlty Towers fan, you probably will enjoy it. If you loathe Fawlty Towers, you probably will loathe the Vicar of Dibley
Rating: - Vicar of Dibly, Immaculate Collection
For anyone who has enjoyed the humor in the Vicar of Dibley, this collection is a must -have! It's so great to be able to watch this cast of characters whenever I want...A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

British humour at it's best
The entire series is very entertaining and most definitely funny. Every episode is good and I will be recommending this series to my friends. Good acting and terrific scripts.
Rating: - Dibley doesn't disappoint
Dawn French is perfect as the Vicar of Dibley. So are the rest of the cast. What a collection of British characters! Particularly the actress who plays the verger, the Vicar's asst. and general dog's body in the church. There is nothing weak about the series, except, perhaps, the contrived ending when the Vicar gets married.
From UTube, I gather this series has come back again, since I saw material not on the original DVDs of the show. It would be interesting to see how they've worked in the husband. Is the series as much fun?
My son was ordained a reverend in the Canadian Baptist Church (Ont.-PQ convention) on June 1. What to get him? Natch, we thought of the Vicar of Dibley but I thought this might be too racy for a 'Baptist' type. I mentioned it to him, he caught some of it on UTube, and laughed until the tears came, at the tension between the holy and the profane. He pronounced it 'perfect.' So that's what he received as a gift from his parents for his ordination. Keep him laughing! Might lessen the burden of all the unholy politics in the modern church!!
