The Vicar of Dibley is written by Richard Curtis, and is about a female vicar (Geraldine) and her parisheners. They include Tory counciller David and his son Hugo. 'The most boring man in Britain', Frank, BO king Owen and the famous 'No no no' Jim.
Geraldine is also aided by her dim witted verger Alice. Letitia Cropley also featured in all episodes up to 'The Easter Bunny'.
 
Dibley is actually a village called Turville, and the locals allowed the BBC to film form 1994-2000 when the series was said to end, untill christmas 2004 when they made another 2 specials. With the 'New Year' episode helping to spread the word of Make Poverty History, which is a campaign Dawn helps to back.
Once the episode, watched by 11 million people had finshed,Dibley fans nearly crashed the campaigns website when it recieved 17.500 hits per minute.
They said that was the end, but it followed another Comic Relief special and then 2 final episodes, which saw the Vicar finally get to be the bride on New Years day 2007. That is definately the end,so they say... but they still got another cheeky comic relief special.

The Vicar of Dibley always ends with Geraldine telling someone (usually Alice) a joke, apart from The New Year 2005 where it was at the beginning.
 
Here are some of the Vicars jokes, which she is telling Alice, and Alices 'dippy' responses.
 
Geraldine: So there's a nun, and she's having a bath- and a knock comes at the door.
Alice: Oh dear.
Geraldine: And she says, 'Who is it?'And the reply comes, 'Its the blind man-can I come in?'And she thinks about it for a moment, and says, 'Yes you can come on in'.
And the chap comes in and says, 'Nice tits- where do you want the blind?'
 
Geraldine: Whats brown and sticky?
Alice: I dont know what is brown and sticky?
Geraldine: A stick
Alice: No sticks aren't sticky..
 
Geraldine: Santa Claus goes to the doctor with a problem
Alice: Oh dear
Geraldine: Yeah. He says' Doctor, I think I've got a mince pie stuck up my bottom'.
Alice: I wonder how it got there?
Geraldine:Dont go there okay. so the doctor says, 'Okay Mr Claus bend over please'. And he looks and he says, 'Yes indeed, you do have a mince pie stuck up your bottom. But you're in luck, Ive got some cream you can put on it'.
Alice: You mean hes going to take it out and eat it?....

These jokes are vicar copyright so please don't try to pass them off as you own
