Product Description

Dawn French dons her cassock and collar once more for two very special episodes of The Vicar of Dibley, one of the BBC's most popular comedies. It boasts the brilliant comic writing of Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Bridget Jones's Diary) and a gifted ensemble cast including Emma Chambers (Notting Hill) and Richard Armitage (BBC's Robin Hood). The Handsome Stranger - Gerry is fed up with all the "townies" buying weekend cottages in Dibley -- that is, until she meets one particularly charming newcomer. Could he be the one? Or is it Gerry's destiny to end up heartbroken in another 6-foot deep puddle? The Vicar in White - After presiding over the marriages of hundreds of other people, it appears Gerry's big day has finally arrived. Appearances can be deceptive, however, especially when the eccentric residents of Dibley are doing the planning!

The popular British comedy series The Vicar of Dibley is about as broad in its laughs as any Britcom, yet its heart is even bigger--no surprise since one of its key writers is Richard Curtis (Love, Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral) In A Holy Wholly Happy Ending, the plucky heroine, The Rev. Geraldine Granger (the appealing Dawn French), balances trying to invigorate the residents of her tiny rural village with an art class and book club, while grumbling about the "townies" from London snapping up the houses and draining the character from the place. But the longtime singleton ("always the vicar," she sighs, "never the bride") may change her tune when a handsome townie moves in and commences getting acquainted.

French's determinedly cheery persona is a lot of the appeal of this series, and that our sweet Reverend might find true love at last makes this two-part special extra appealing. The side humor is a trademark as well. The looks on the faces of the (all-male) art class when the first session, figure sketching, begins with the model taking off her robe may be foreseeable, but it's still nothing short of hilarious. As Geraldine would say, "let joy be unconfined!" --A.T. Hurley

Customer Reviews

Zaniness with Dawn French and romance with Richard Armitage
The finale of The Vicar of Dibley was a two-part special for Christmas 2006 and New Year Day 2007. The writers decided that the best way to send this great series out in style was to marry off Geraldine to the man of her dreams. Part 1 is their meeting and courtship (with some hilarious complications), and part 2 is the wedding. The dreamboat groom is Richard Armitage, currently glowering attractively as Sir Guy of Gisbourne in BBC's Robin Hood. As the fiance, Harry, he is charming, funny, and totally convincing in a romantic role that has to have a light touch. Did I mention that he is heart-stoppingly handsome? I just showed the two-part special to a group of my friends who had no prior knowledge of the series and they were laughing to the point of tears.

Dawn French + Richard Armitage = Fabulous!
This is a two episodes of The Vicar of Dibley and the Comic Relief sketch for 2007 on Red Nose Day. Richard Armitage of the BBC's North and South plays the "Handsome Stranger" who romances the Vicar. The second episode is "Vicar in White" and is mostly about the planning for the wedding and the wedding itself. Both episodes along with the Comic Relief sketch are very funny! It is a must have for all Vicar of Dibley fans! And a must have for Richard Armitage fans, too! Fabulous!

Not as good as the originals
We love the Vicar and the loony town of Dibley. There will always be a soft spot in our heart for them, but, as with many season finales, this one lacks some of the charm and wit of the original series. Nevertheless, we still think it is an improvement over the tenth anniversary special. Though we are sad to see the characters go, it is probably time to for the town of Dibley to move on and for the story to come to an end. In that way, these final episodes provide some nice closure for fans. Still glad we own it and makes for a nice rounding out of the story.
