The Vicar of Dibley

Engagement

Thu, Dec 25, 1997
Geraldine is at a loss for an interesting front page story for the parish newsletter. Alice and Hugo are a couple but Alice complains that Hugo has yet to kiss her so Geraldine urges her to take the initiative. As a result the couple are found, lying on a path having a kiss which lasts four hours. They can't stop kissing. Finally Hugo stands up to his hectoring father and announces that he and Alice are engaged to be married, giving the vicar her front page story. She herself though manages to talk her way out of Owen's proposal to her.

Dibley Live

Wed, Jan 07, 1998
Geraldine decides that, as an experiment, Dibley should have its own local radio station. Alice is due to interview David but he is rude to her on air so Geraldine devises a quiz, pitting them against each other and, as Alice's questions are all about her family, she wins it. Frank has an hour's slot all to himself but, as he is notoriously boring, nobody listens to it - thereby missing his public confession of coming out as being gay.

Celebrity Vicar

Wed, Jan 14, 1998
Geraldine is invited to talk on the religious radio slot 'Pause For Thought' after the planned speaker has dropped dead. She becomes an instant celebrity, appearing on several popular television shows and the parish council fear that she is distancing herself from them. However, she makes amends by performing a comedy dance routine with ballerina Darcey Bussell at the village charity gala, along with Frank's boring impressions and Owen's farting duck, though all are over-shadowed by Jim's Full Monty routine.

Love and Marriage
Hugo and Alice are finally married, with two bridesmaids dressed up as Teletubbies. There is a nasty moment when a woman bursts in and accuses the groom of being already married but, not to worry, she's gone to the wrong church and everything else progresses smoothly. For Geraldine there is possible romance in the air as she meets, and steps out with, David Horton's charming younger brother Simon.
