The Vicar of Dibley - A Holy Wholly Happy Ending

This is a must-have for any Vicar of Dibley fan! I fell in love with this series years ago, but I don't think it ever had a proper send-off...until now.The final regular episode (Summer) was very good, but was written and played as though it were just another show in the series. As a U.S. viewer, I wasn't even sure it was the end of the line until I realized I couldn't find any other shows! The 10th anniversary specials came around a few years ago, and they just didn't work. The tired jokes and the well-intentioned, but somewhat baffling, inclusion of the African crisis footage at the end of the second ep made me feel like the show bowed in due time.Then came these gems. I agree with the reviewer who said Part I was as good as any episode from the original run. It's a refreshing reunion with beloved characters and will remind every fan what drew him/her to the series in the first place. I also liked Part II; it was so wonderful to see the Vicar marry such an appealing man who loves her back!In fact, this special was so great, I felt kind of disappointed that it was truly the end for The Vicar of Dibley. I guess we can only imagine how the village reacts when Geraldine and Harry have their first child!

I was not familiar with this series nor Dawn French. I ordered it only because I discovered the handsome, and extremely good actor, Richard Armitage was in the last two episodes. Ms. French was a delight and extremely funny. And well, Richard Armitage was excellent and a double delight. They played their roles well and were quite convincing. It was lighthearted and I laughed a lot. Not taking away anything from Ms. French, because she did an excellent job in this role, and I'm glad I had a chance to discover her and her talent. But if it had not been for Mr. Armitage in the cast, I still would not have known her. Mr. Armitage is excellent in any movie role I've every seen him in, i.e. John Thornton in North and South,Guy of Gisborne in BBC's Robin Hood series, etc. He's excellent, he simply becomes the character. By all means "The Vicar of Dibley-A Holy Happy Ending is worth buying fror your library of DVDs, it will be money well spent. It's totally entertaining!

If you are looking for a surprising romance,along with lots of laughter, you will enjoy these episodes of The Vicar of Dibley. I found myself laughing out loud at the quirky villagers' antics, but especially Dawn French's fabulous comedic timing as the Vicar. I would rewind just to replay some of her hilarious under her breath side comments to or about the other characters. The DVD is worth it for these elements alone, but then add Richard Armitage as the handsome newcomer and romantic interest; it is inspiring to see him cast when Dawn French isn't your typical sitcom star. I ordered the DVD so I could view it whenever I wanted to watch it. Unfortunately, someone else wanted this DVD as much as I did and stole it out of my mailbox. So sadly, Amazon.com, I have not been able to watch it. If I had it, I would be watching it-frequently!

So my third review on this site is again something that features Richard Armitage. Oh, he is charm itself in this show, but the Armitage love aside, this is a wonderful series on its own. This particular DVD is the series finale and the only one to cast Armitage. Even though I watched it just because he is in it, I've now discovered Dawn French and heartily glad. She is a wonderful comedienne. I'm sorry I didn't know of her sooner, and her ensemble cast is the perfect foil. I have now gone on to watch almost the entire series, and I have enjoyed it so thoroughly that I doubt watching the series finale first was ill advised.But be warned if you are pretentious or priggish or just generally offended by anything even remotely irreverent, you won't like this series. If you're like everyone else, you'll love it!

Loved to have been able to purchase this item as it completes the series

Is this the last joint appearance of the strangely wonderful Vicar of Dibley cast of characters? Quite possibly. These two episodes seem to wrap up the story of parish vicar Geraldine Granger as she finds true love at last, although her wedding plans are hilariously usurped by her longtime colleagues on the church council. This is mainly an entertaining reworking of themes from previous episodes, a must-see for a true fan. The accompanying short feature, The Vicar of Dibley Story, is a fascinating look at the history of the series, highlighting its small but critical part in furthering the cause of female vicars in the Church of England. Cast bios, on the other hand, are somewhat disappointingly low tech. On the whole a 5-star DVD, best enjoyed with a bar of chocolate.

First off, I have never seen any of the other Vicar of Dibley shows and only purchased this because of Richard Armitage. Love the man in North and South and was ready for more eye candy. The fact that he was in the show almost took a back seat to the absolute hilarity that was taking place on the screen. I Loved this show! The humor, the jokes, the people... I can tell you I will be purchasing many more episodes. I may have watched for Richard but now I am a huge fan! If you need a good belly laugh you have got to own this series.Enjoy!

The finale of The Vicar of Dibley was a two-part special for Christmas 2006 and New Year Day 2007. The writers decided that the best way to send this great series out in style was to marry off Geraldine to the man of her dreams. Part 1 is their meeting and courtship (with some hilarious complications), and part 2 is the wedding. The dreamboat groom is Richard Armitage, currently glowering attractively as Sir Guy of Gisbourne in BBC's Robin Hood. As the fiance, Harry, he is charming, funny, and totally convincing in a romantic role that has to have a light touch. Did I mention that he is heart-stoppingly handsome? I just showed the two-part special to a group of my friends who had no prior knowledge of the series and they were laughing to the point of tears.

OMG! It is a great show. Laughs are guaranteed while watching this edition. "A national treasure" that I was glad I got second-hand. Moderately good condition. Thank you!

Lovely to see this episode..good quality product, well packed and prompt service.

Arrived in great time and in excellent condition.

Per i fans di Richard Armitage. Un must, da vedere!

Si vous aimez les belles histoires romantiques émaillées d'émotions, d'humour ravageur et de personnages plus excentriques les uns que les autres, ce dvd est fait pour vous.Il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir vu les épisodes précédents de cette série acclamée outre-Manche pour suivre parfaitement l'intrigue, à savoir, les tribulations d'une femme vicaire (jouée avec talent et conviction par la pétulante Dawn French) qui, flanquée d'une petite troupe de paroissiens d'une dinguerie exceptionnelle, tombe un jour sous le charme d'un bel étranger: Richard Armitage (l'inoubliable John Thornton de North and South, Gisborne dans Robin des Bois), plus séduisant que jamais.S'ensuivent des quiproquos savoureux, des scènes pleines de tendresse, mais aussi des dialogues loufoques et des situations hallucinantes qui vous feront mourir de rire -- tout comme Richard Armitage qui confesse, dans le making of que comporte également le disque, avoir lui-même pleuré de rire à la lecture du script et pendant toute la durée du tournage -- et pour cause! Ces deux épisodes d'1h50 en tout sont une bouffée de pur bonheur.A consommer sans modération!!!remarque: je confirme la présence de sous-titres anglais, bien que la jaquette du dvd mentionne le contraire.
