The Vicar of Dibley

Four Classic TV Soundtracks

De: Richard Curtis

Narrado por: Dawn French

Four classic episodes from the original TV series: Arrival, Songs of Praise, Easter Special and The Christmas Lunch Incident. Welcome to Dibley, a perfect village full of some perfectly peculiar people - including Alice Tinker and her underactive brain, Owen Newitt and his overactive bowels, and Letitia Cropley and her orange cake with Branston pickle icing.

Council ruler David Horton has everything running exactly as he wishes - until 102-year-old Reverend Pottle dies. That's when the trouble begins, for the new vicar of Dibley is Geraldine, a babe with a bob and a magnificent bosom. In these instalments, the vicar increases the church-going public, finds something remarkably attractive about television, learns about suffering by giving up chocolate for Lent, and promises herself too many Christmas lunches with too many people.

Starring Dawn French, with Gary Waldhorn, James Fleet, Roger Lloyd Pack, Emma Chambers and Trevor Peacock.

The same as the tv series

It's the audio from the tv series. So I can listen at my desk at work and remember what the scene was like. Awesome!

The Vicar and the Village

Love this show, have been watching it for 25 years, relaxes me and my children even today when they are grown still watch it. Sometimes when my baby girl has hard time sleeping she will call and we will watch this together over miles away. Ecstatic to find the audio version available to make listening on the go and at bedtime easier. Thank you .

Well recommended

Love the series. A clqssic english comedy. I hope more become available on audible. Here's hoping.

Thank you Audible!!

What did you love best about Vicar of Dibley 1?

I loved the TV series and this is an audio only version of the show.

What other book might you compare Vicar of Dibley 1 to and why?

The Good Life and Fawlty Towers are two other BBC televion series transferred to audio exactly as aired with the exception of brief narration. The Good Life and Vicar of Dibley are both very warm and funny.

What about Dawn French’s performance did you like?

Dawn French is able to deliver barbs and sarcasm without a hint of malice, never losing that lovely feeling that she genuinely likes these kooky characters

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had to ration it out slowly since there are (as of yet) no more in the series.

Any additional comments?

I hope audible will make all of these wonderful shows available soon!

Love Dawn French! But downloaded it by accident...

What made the experience of listening to Vicar of Dibley 1 the most enjoyable?

I love the Vicar of Dibley! I have all the seasons on DVD...

BUT... I was just cking out the Audible bk. pg. and wanted more info. on it , I accidently tapped the wrong spot and it immediately downloaded. It is the exact episode I already own on DVD, I haven't listened to it as I was hoping for a refund but wasn't sure I could get one (?). It still show's that 0% of it was listened to...

Be careful what you 'tap' on if you have a Kindle Fire, it cost me $14.99 and I won't even use it since I already own the DVD as mentioned above. Sorry.

Who was your favorite character and why?

no

Any additional comments?

see review above

Absolutely love Vicar of Dibley!

My husband and I love this tv series so much, we probably have it memorized. This is the original show and as I listen i see the characters in my mind and feel like I'm with beloved nutty relatives.

A show that feels like home.

Enjoyable television show, and equally enjoyable radio show. I only hope they will bring the remainder of the episodes into radio format here on audible.

Excellent show to begin with!

I have the entire series on DVD. Love the tv show. Was surprised to see this in an audiobook format. However, wish all of the series were put into an audiobook format. Can't wait for Vicar of Dibley 2!

Everything peaceful

I play this selection at night. The music, laughter, and overall mood help me rest. Brings back radio show 1950’s vibes. Worth the purchase!

Vicar of Dibley 1

The Vicar of Dibley is so funny. It's a must. You will laugh like you do watching the TV show.
