Gerry Tackles Her Third Christmas Dinner at Alice's | The Vicar of Dibley

[@John_oR.]

I remember when I watched this episode the first time with my mother and both of us practically passed out from laughter. Since then this have been a really nice Christmas tradition.

[@matildamaher2650]

This is my best episode of all. I have watched this so many times especially when that lady keeps repeating herself.

[@jessikavalentine]

Robert Swann she does

[@leeelliott5522]

Oh she does, does she

[@jessikavalentine]

Lee Elliott YES, SHE DOES

[@lindabiggs3905]

[@josephpurdue7583]

I love the mother. My mates & I do this all the time. Do we? Do we? Oh we do do we?

This was cut too early just before one of my favourite lines from Alice's puzzled mother when the vicar leaves.. "Who was that then?" 😆😆😆

Love this show the cast was great!! Made you want to live in dibley wish it was still going, at least it lives in re-runs

[@margaretpokorny103]

I'm a Brit living in America. You can get Britbox but can't afford all these extras. Wish they had episodes up on Netflix or prime!

[@gordonbenoit6493]

Hi Margaret thanks for the info yes I saw BritBox too it’s a great channel but like you say I can’t afford most of the extras as well hopefully someday it’ll be on Netflix or another channel I’ll just have to keep watching the good reruns on KZbin till then hope you have a great day thanks again take care 😊

[@salviaofficinalis02]

not rrally Dibley spelt with a capital D is actually the last place on Earth I'd want to visit

[@DomWeasel]

Considering half the cast are dead now, it'd be hard for it to still be going.

My favourite Christmas episode

[@Broadwaybuff-pi1qg]

Sheer comedy genius of the writers, dawn french and emma chambers. One of my fave episodes of any series ever. Thank you so much you brilliant artists!

[@kayleigho8651]

I have watched this episode every Christmas since as long as I can remember (I’m 29) and today have only just found out that Alices’ sister is Mel Giedroyc!

[@robynfindley7623]

Christmas classic episode.

[@brianbanville781]

Is it? Is it? Oh it is is it?

[@axeltaylor9094]

and when the Vicar returns home is really funny “I think I will skip supper tonight”

[@MyReluctantTheology]

I was flashing back to something I witnessed at my church that was quite the opposite. During my year as sexton, there was a day where I was in the charity director's office. The pastor came in for some sort of question. Also, the charity director was pregnant, and she brought up the baby's baptism date. She tried to insist on a date when various members of her family would be in town, but the pastor said "sorry, I'm on vacation. I learned during my first year to schedule your vacation heavily in advance. If you don't, you schedule a baptism, and then a wedding, and because you have all sorts of things scheduled, you end up missing your vacation for the year. I discovered to schedule my vacations long in advance." The pastor regularly preaches about being selfless and helping others out, but it's also important to take care of yourself.

[@howardkerr8174]

" Was it ? " Definitely should have had more air time during the series, perhaps taken up Mrs. Cropley's role.

"a táble, a táble"

[@aileen694]

Oh Danny Boy! Wrong French accents over the wrong vowels! C'est Dommage! 😃 Yes, Vicar was trying to stop all the daft chatter :))

[@lostmangos]

Oh that's where it's not like me at all, because if that was my best friend and she had eaten already, I'd just cry and cry. 😆😆😆

[@allenbell3734]

I didn’t know Alice had a sister! She does? She does. She does? She does. SHE DOES? She does!

[@lnteIIigence]

[@lindabiggs3905]

Had forgotten it was Mel from bake off lol

[@lindabiggs3905]

She does, does she, does she?

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

She had several half siblings as well

[@matildamaher1505]

Did she

[@philiprandall9994]

I would LOVE to wear a fairy costume like the one Alice has got! I would also love to dress up as an angel with a toe length robe, a tinsel belt, white ballet tights, pinky-white ballet slippers, a halo and big white fairy wings. I'm just disappointed that we don't have more boy fairies and angels. It's good to break stereotypes.

[@sabrina.h2737]

Philip Randall You can. If anyone gives you slack, just remind them that you are secure in your masculinity.

[@howardkerr8174]

Philip Randall: When I was a small child, one of my older sisters had a costume like that. For some reason I was enchanted by it, and one Halloween, before I had outgrown it, my mother (not sure how my father felt) allowed me to wear it to our school's Halloween party. From that day on, my sexuality was constantly questioned. Yet to me, it was all kind of stupid. If I had worn a Barney the Dinosaur costume (they didn't exist in the late 50s, obviously) would people have labelled me...as a reptile wannabe? IT WAS A COSTUME. Should I have put on my Sunday suit and gone as a businessman?

[@normasouthwood3182]

I think you'll find that the Archangel Gabrielle was transgender.
