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, ... more »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!DVD Features:

"I purchased this thinking it was a new set, as the description did not specify. I returned this because it was just a new packaging with the series 1-3, specials, and A Holy Wholly Happy Ending. Odd too was that the offer to buy this collection AND a second copy of A Holy Wholly Happy Ending! Love the series, actors and everything, but the advertising and description are very misleading."
Vicar of Dibley....Funny and Entertaining

"This is a wonderful box set. It contains every episode ever made. It is well worth the price. It contains Series 1, Series 2, Series 3, 10th Anniversary Specials (Merry Christmas & Happy New Year), A Holy Wholly Happy Ending."
No,No,No, Yes, this is a must have!

"This is absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, one of the funniest series ever. All the characters (and they are characters) are fun and interesting to watch."
Great series, shame about the packaging

"Enough has been said about the actual series itself and I couldn't agree more that it's one of the most clever and funny shows to have been produced in TV history. Thank goodness for Richard Curtis.
While it is great to have a DVD set which gathers all the episodes together, I have to say that the sleeve which holds the 5 DVD cases is woefully cheap and does not befit such a wonderful compilation. For all those "completists" like me out there who like their boxsets to be both attractive and sturdy, this is disappointing. I would expect the UK BBC version to be better executed."
Great Buy!

"I could not be happier with my purchase. I have loved watching the show on our local PBS station and it is great to have every episode. NOTE: This is literally every episode ever recorded and you do NOT need to buy any of the other DVDs listed here, included the "other's who bought this also bought...."
Not sure why they recommend a DVD that is included inside this set, you do NOT need it.
If you enjoy the Vicar of Dibley or just really enjoy good british comedy, this set is for you!"
