Emma Chambers was one of the stars of BBC sitcom The Vicar Of Dibley, with the nation falling in love with her portrayal of the slow-witted Alice Tinker.

Neela Debnath, The Daily Express, 8th December 2020The Vicar Of Dibley In Lockdown review
For even in these bite-sized samples, The Vicar of Dibley is a sweet, warm-hearted comedy, living up to Geraldine's stated sentiments to "be gentle and kind... and appreciate every God-given day". But it's a short step to being twee, even trite, which the mild, only fitfully funny, script doesn't always avoid. The slightness of the format and the near absence of a supporting cast only emphasise these shortcomings.

Brian Donaldson, The List, 7th December 2020The Vicar Of Dibley In Lockdown, episode 1 review
It's not quite the same without the ensemble cast, but a little bit of Geraldine Grainger is always pleasant company.
