In 2014 Crosbie starred in the 2014 British comedy film What We Did On Our Holiday, written by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, about a couple struggling to hold it all together amid the pressures of parenthood. In 2015 Crosbie played Reverend Mavis Pipkin in the Comic Relief special of long-running BBC television series The Vicar Of Dibley, and in 2016 she played the role of Cissy Godfrey in the film version of Dad's Army.
