The Vicar of Dibley - The Complete Series 2 & the Specials description
It's hard to believe, but the second series of British sitcom The Vicar of Dibley is even more charming and delightful than the first. As the vicar of a small town in the English countryside, Gerry (the sharp yet adorable Dawn French, of the comedy duo French & Saunders) pretends to be the Easter Bunny, plays Cupid with her two utterly dimwitted friends Alice (Emma Chambers) and Hugo (James Fleet), fends off the advances of lonely and hygienically challenged shepherd Owen (Roger Lloyd Pack), achieves 15 minutes of celebrity fame, and more. It's not just French's engaging charisma and the sly writing (headed by Richard Curtis, screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral) that make The Vicar of Dibley such a treat; it's the superb ensemble of character actors who bring this village of eccentrics to full, vibrant life, skewering their parochial obsessions without a hint of condescension. --Bret Fetzer |

Not for Those Who Tend to Get Offended

OK, I'm hooked on "Dibley" and got this particular set because the no. 2 disc in my set of the first three Dibley's broke.
I think it is a series worth watching if you are youngish-at-heart, and Christ-oriented or at least don't mind the somewhat-fantasied version of the church scene; otherwise, I'm not sure the acting is worth sitting through (the writing went a bit overboard with some of the characters to the immaturish, and the amateurish). Some of the story tangents are too rude for the conservative, but if you sit back and ignore these directing mistakes and enjoy the goodness in the stories and the characters, it makes a wonderful series to watch, over and over again.
