Dawn French hints that Vicar Of Dibley could return
Dawn French has hinted that there's a small possibility The Vicar Of Dibley, the hit BBC sitcom in which she starred, could return.
British Comedy Guide, 4th November 2010Fleet would return to 'Vicar Of Dibley'
James Fleet, who played Hugo Horton in The Vicar Of Dibley has revealed that he would star again in the sitcom if given the chance.
Paul Millar and Kris Green, Digital Spy, 31st May 2010The Vicar of Dibley (BBC1) is gone for good. She'll come no more. Never, never, never, never. Never mind, we get to keep Dawn French, a joyful creature and a world-class clown.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 2nd January 2007Merry Christmas was not the best Vicar of Dibley (BBC1) you ever saw but Dawn French was show-stopping as a vicar drunk in charge of a pulpit.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 27th December 2004Meanwhile The Vicar Of Dibley (BBC1) was holding a service for animals, which offered Richard Curtis ample scope for his favourite big job jokes. The series has been, like the vicar, bumpy in bits but, on the whole, fresh and funny. And it's extremely decent of me to say so as one of Curtis's big job jokes has put me off Twiglets completely. A serious matter at Christmas when I am offered nothing else.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 16th December 1994In The Vicar Of Dibley (BBC1) the parish invited Elton John to open their fair but found they had got Reg Dwight, a musician fated to see people's faces fall ("The blues is what I sing."). Anyway this blonde turned up and everyone seemed delighted. Apparently it was Kylie Minogue. Well, I didn't know. I saw Elton John in the street once wearing pink striped pyjamas. You know where you are with Elton.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 25th November 1994The writer is Richard Curtis (Blackadder, Four Weddings And A Funeral). When someone writes a solemn thesis on his religious influences, I will put in a strong argument for Wodehouse and a weak but obstinate one for All Gas and Gaiters.
