This episode was shown on Christmas day in England. I have to say that it was the highlight of Christmas for me and my family. Dawn French and the writers haven't lost their golden touch, and it's a shame this is the last series of The Vicar of Dibley. Dawn French is completely brilliant as per usual, she never fails to warm your heart whilst getting a laugh. The rest of the cast are just as wonderful, their character's feel so comfortable now, you believe you have known them for years. And the newcomer Harry, played by actor Richard Armitage, is perfect as the tall, dark and handsome stranger who with one smile sweeps the Vicar off her feet! Well done to all the cast, crew and writers for giving us such a special treat this Christmas. I can't wait for the concluding episode on New Year's Day!

Best of the British Sitcoms

Warning: Spoilers
The Vicar of Dibley has always been a favorite of the British Sitcoms. Dawn French is comic genius. What's amazing about this episode and the following parts (Vicar in White) is her genuine acting talent. Yes she can be slapstick but this woman is good actress as well. She's also INCREDIBLY funny. Richard Armitage who could be perceived as just another good looking period actor is no pouty pretty boy but a truly fine talent as well. And he has ME believing he's in love with Geraldine which is wonderful. These two are absolute magic together from the moment they meet. Then of course you have a cast of the regulars from Dibley who make absolute farce believable.
This episode has shown in the U.S. but will not be available on DVD until April 1. (Hopefully in the U.S. as well as the UK who seems to get everything first, darn it!) You will laugh until your sides hurt. And for those of you who love or hate chick flicks and period drama, this will be right up your alley. Go forth and purchase!

Super Cute Couple - Bring them back!

I haven't watched any other VoD seasons, yet I'd love to see more of Geraldine & Harry - they are adorable! I know it's 15 years and counting, but there's still huge potential for this pair to have a regular show either as VoD or a spin-off eg as hospital chaplain and accountant. We need feel-good TV now more than ever and these two have a ready-made audience judging by the YouTube fanvids & comments.
