Back together for the first time in seven years the cast are reunited for a 10 minute special, written by Richard Curtis, which will be shown on Comic Relief - Funny for money.

[@jamesmickyknight]

I miss all of the cast that passed on. Jim reminded me of my dad😢 and Emma was a precious angel. Rip to the the ones the passed on.

[@sean5990]

It's sad to think that all except Geraldine and Hugo are the only remaining characters alive. RIP to all that have gone. You bought us so much joy. ❤

[@sarafina865]

So sad to hear the news this morning about Mr. Lloyd-Pack. Thank you for all the laughs; you were so memorable as Owen! Condolences to his family.

[@eclair9]

I wasn't aware Ms. Chambers had passed away until I saw this clip. Her character was amazing and she added a level of comedy to the 'Vicar of Dibley' which was unapproachable. May she rest in peace. I absolutely love this show!

[@grellnoble1560]

Didn’t Emma chambers pass away after this. Cause Hugo would have been devastated. That his wife is no longer with him. Was watching this show last night. The Wimbledon joke was priceLess. Lol. A very talented cast.

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

@@grellnoble1560 That's right - she was still alive when this was made

[@valswhitewolf6611]

Oh yes almost like after the third episode.

Love this series and watch it again every month.. we have lost too many wonderfull actors

RIP

Shall I minute that? What a legend.

[@danielwaugh2215]

A biggest legacy he’d leave is a long narrative story of his life. Oh god.

[@StephenDHenderson]

He doesn't look well here :-(

[@My_Legs_Hurt]

Now Trevor Peacocks died too. RIP Jim

[@katiebergan4101]

Love the Vicar of Dibley!!! Miss it so much! Owen hasn't changed too much, but Hugo sure has.

[@cristiona22]

I don’t know how Roger Lloyd Pack ever kept it together in this show with the crazy lines he had .

This was such an amazing show! 💟💟💟💟💟

Dawn is soooo pretty!!!!!!!!

Yes she is!

R.I.P. Emma Chambers. An angel in Heaven has beguiling googly eyes.

[@yanakey953]

I did not know that they were making new episodes after 1999. It is a wonderful discovery!

[@annakatarzyna9207]

had no idea there was new episode of Dibley. Vicar looks great, better than ever. Everyone else got old.

[@suzieqtruth6377]

"I'm dead? That explains it!" Damn I loved this show so much. Indeed missing the ones who passed on... especially Emma Chambers.

[@Lesoot]

Bring back vicar of dibley

[@ninninin656]

TheSmithersy Why? They had a death in season 1 too and still continued.

[@lionlyons]

Rob Lesauteur Roger Lloyd-Pack (Owen) and Emma Chambers (Alice; arguably the most important character after the vicar herself) are dead, unfortunately.

[@Saucyakld]

@@lionlyons bugger!

[@brettgreene5360]

and a bit hard to do that now considering that Frank Pickle and Alice Tinker have "passed on" now

[@barbrickey177]

Half of the cast are dead, unfortunately.

[@MM-yi9zn]

Rewatching is so wonderful. Dawn French is a massive favourite!

[@ResonantLive_]

So sad after the death of Gary Waldhorn that there are only two left now.

[@TheHillcoat]

RIP Owen!

[@valeria_zau]

That's hilarious . Dawn French doesnt seem to change a bit . XD

[@LadySpoCoy]

I felt the same during the Comic Relief special with Sting. Why would you even dream of flirting with another man (let alone think of divorce) when you are married to Richard Armitage?

[@anna-brittaandersson4251]

R.I.P., dear Emma ❤️🥰

[@msinvincible2000]

No more Owen, Alice and Frank :'( May they rest in peace!

[@margmartin9280]

Ah, but we do still have Jim. Every time I hear Mrs Brown you've Got a lovely Daughter, think of him. He wrote it!

[@MuZiKizevrythin]

Just love this show! Can't believe they're all still alive and kicking and still so damn funny! Shame Alice not in it but still great..

[@imasinnerimasaint]

8 years on from your comment and unfortunately most of them have kicked the bucket since then. :'( - Roger Lloyd-Pack (Owen) sadly died less than a year after this 2013 special on 15 Jan 2014 at the age of 69, due to pancreatic cancer. - Liz Smith (Letiticia from the first season) died 24 Dec 2016, aged 95. - Emma Chambers (Alice) died on 21 Feb 2018 at the age of 53, due to a heart attack. - John Bluthal died on 15 Nov 2018, aged 89. - Trevor Peacock (Jim) was diagnosed with dementia in 2009 (4 years before this special) but was in the advanced stages of it by 2018, although. He did manage one more special in 2015 but died on 8 Mar 2021 at the age of 89. - Gary Waldhorn (David) died earlier this year on 10 Jan 2022 at the age of 78. James Fleet (Hugo) is 70 but is still alive and kicking for now. Dawn French isn't far behind at 64.

[@imasinnerimasaint]

@The mysterious Miss X James? Yeah, he's getting on a bit.

[@lastgoodid]

Greatest show of all time.....

[@Rage4Liberty]

The guys have aged, but Dawn (Vicar) is looking so good!

Yes, he would indeed!

[@pamz7531]

I don't know any of the history or inside info. I just remember my husband and I enjoying the show. I haven't seen it in years and I have been enjoying the short films. Thank you Comic Relief. and Dawn French and cast.

Alice...💔

[@mitzinicoleritter211]

Why is the cross upside down?

[@anneefferson2115]

It’s not upside down…it’s a square cross, both lines equal length. She always wore that one in the series.

[@minymeerkat99]

hahaha lol tot

[@krimane]

where's Alice and her Stephen Hawkin's brain ?

[@andrewmartin3250]

Has anybody noticed that she wears an inverted cross? Somebody must have deliberately designed it that way.

[@irafd]

oh no, please no!(( Richard is too good in many ways to be just another James Bond. or maybe to be just the best James Bond. whatever. please, Universe, we need him to play much more interesting characters.

[@AccelerateYourSuccess]

Where's Alice?

[@PHender864]

What was the name of the actress who Jim was talking to? She looks familiar.

[@JenaGL]

Selina Cadell. She is Mrs. Tishell in Doc Martin :)

[@PHender864]

Yes! Thank You!

She's also been a few different characters in Midsomer Murders, including the very first one so long ago now. She's a very enjoyable actress.
