VICAR OF DIBLEY: IMMACULATE COL (DVD)

For starters Im not particularly religous so I wasnt sure I was going to like it but this series was hilarious and I have to agree if you like most BBC programs then Youre going to like this one too. Its the classic woman stepping into forbidden men-only turf in the beginning. Everyone dislikes The new vicar from the get-go until they get to know her. And I will admit I kind of saw Gerry getting together with David because it seemed thats where they were building it up in across some episodes and it would have made sense but I guess they changed thier minds when by the last set, Wholly Happy Ending, when they introduced someone new for her to tangle with at first before she realized he wasnt such a bad guy even for a 'Townie'. Kind of like how the villagers found out Gerry wasnt so bad after they got to know her. But it does make one wonder why take it, the story, one way then toss it aside and go another way instead... unless they were running out of time towards the end. But anyway I laughed through the whole thing and im very glad I gave this a shot.Series 1/Disc 1ArrivalSongs of PraiseCommunity SpiritThe Window and the WeatherElectionAnimalsSeries 2/Disc 2The Easter BunnyThe Christmas Lunch IncidentEngagementDibley LiveCelebrity VicarLove and MarriageSeries 3/Disc3 - Seems like rather plain titles to me, maybe ran out of ideas?AutumnWinterSpringSummer*A documentary in the extras section about real VicarsDisc 4Merry ChristmasHappy New Year*And the hilarious outtakes/bloopers reel in the Extras sectionDisc 5 - A Wholly Happy EndingThe Handsome StrangerThe Vicar in White*Vicar of Dibley reunion/special in the Extras section

I laugh every time I watch any of these. The Vicar is a man - hungry, devout Protestant pastor, highly resented by the town's wealthy patron, and surrounded by a very well-drawn set of supporting characters, including her dim-bulb assistant. At the end of each episode is a separate joke, for not reason than just to tell a joke. it is little quirky things like this that make each episode more than simply broad vaudeville; the people, situations, townspeople, all influence the Vicar's operation of the church. How she navigates the perilous waters of being a woman vicar in this situation leads to ... growth for all, and hilarity ensues!

Love this series. Nostalgic for the good ‘ol 90’s? Or good clean humor? This dvd set has got you covered. Worth the money

Utterly fantastic comedy by Dawn French go French and Saunders. The characters are all quirky,me specially the loveable yet amazingly dim Alice, as well as the rest of the town oddballs who have to make the adjustment to a -gasp!- female Vicar. Dawn French plays the vicar as a strong but sweet woman determined to keep her job, increase her flock and find a way to get Alice and her equally dim love of her life together,mdespite his father's insistence that it will never happen. The characters are so quirky but so sweet and adorable you can't help but fall in love with them all. Each episode ends with the vicar telling Alice a joke that Alice only very rarely understands, but is completely hysterical to he viewer.If you like British comedy, the Vicar of Dibley is the cream of the crop. Wildly successful in the UK because of its funny yet always sweet humor, you're sure to fall in love with each and every silly character, including the village sheep farmer who rarely bathes.Buy this one, even before you pick up "Are You Being Served" or "Faulty Towers" as "Vicar"is one collection the hole family will enjoy, although maybe not suitable for the very young s adult themes (ack! Sex!) sometimes comes up.Truly, one of the great, sweet and endearing comedies ever produced by the. BBC.

Another item that was on my wish list for years. The few episodes I had taped back in the 90s on public TV were just not enough. Had to have the whole set: all the episodes, including the specials.Geraldine (Dawn French of "French and Saunders" fame) is very witty and is more in sync with the outside world than her small out-of the-way village of parishioners. She is so funny and so amused by life. She is a real person, too, who drinks on occasion, puts away quantities of sweets, gets crushes on, dates, and sleeps with one or two men. Not controversial to me, but I can see it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Great supporting cast, including that tall vague chap from "Four Weddings and a Funeral". A one-of-a-kind British comedy series with some nice moments when she touches the "better angels of our nature" in a very light-handed way. Not unlike Dr. Who circa 2005-2009. Hey, call me eclectic...This portrait of a real woman as a minister made me take a look at the career field for myself. That's one way hospital chaplains can be made. And I wasn't the only chaplain who had seen and loved the show. Nice work, Ms. French & company.

This is a down-to-earth, somewhat gritty, very adult, and warmly funny series.

Good set arrived in good order.

Article conforme à la description, arrivé rapidement de GB, prix très modeste par rapport aux articles comparables .

Die Lieferung war angesetzt zwischen dem 10. und 15. April. Das Produkt kam bereits am 04. April an. Gut und sicher verpackt, alle DVDs funktionieren einwandfrei.Nebenbei ist zu sagen, dass die Serie genauso gut ist wie vor ein paar Jahren, als ich sie zum ersten Mal sah. Ein britischer Schatz, der leider wie viele andere international nicht genug gewürdigt wird.

second buy, this time for a churchgoer friend who loved it!

Es una lástima que no venga con subtítulos (aunque fueran en inglés). Por todo lo demás, súper bien. Muy divertida.
