Dawn French is a brilliant comedienne. Her effervescent, warm personality is a winning one, so anything she appears in is enough to warrant a glance at. Thankfully, The Vicar Of Dibley is a very funny sitcom, one that showcases French as a talented actress as well as being hilarious. French stars as Geraldine Granger, a larger than life female vicar who is sent to a new parish in the sleepy English village of Dibley after the current vicar passes away. Needless to say, she causes a fair amount of commotion, shaking up and charming Dibley and it's highly eccentric inhabitants. One resident who isn't so impressed is local counsellor David Horton, chairman of the Dibley Parish council and a staunch conservative, who believes that Geraldine should be baking cakes, not preaching the gospel. But Geraldine doesn't let David stand in her way of making Dibley go to church, and she becomes a success.
The main aspect of this show that makes it entertaining is it's excellent ensemble cast. French plays Geraldine with a sense of playfulness and fun, whilst Gary Waldhorn is completely believable as old-fashioned David. James Fleet is delightfully dippy as David's simple son Hugo, John Bluthal is endearing as Frank, Roger Lloyd Pack plays no-nonsense Owen hilariously, and Trevor Peacock is amusing as stuttering Jim. But acting honours go to the fabulous Liz Smith as Letitia Cropley, a woman with some of the strangest food recipes you'll ever come across, and Emma Chambers, who plays the extremely dense Alice so lovingly it's impossible to become irritated with her. The Vicar Of Dibley is certainly not the best sitcom I've ever come across, but it's so welcoming and appealing that it's hard to resist. Definitely one of the better shows to grace our screens in a long while.
