Viewed: Seasons 1-5

I actually watched the first season of The Vicar of Dibley many years ago, probably back in high school, but never followed through and watched the rest - which is likely due to the absolutely bizarre structure of the series. Indeed, it premiered with a traditional six-episode first season run (with episodes around 25 mins apiece), but all subsequent episodes are basically hourlong specials that arrived every few years until it ended at the beginning of 2007. Some of the specials arrived in something of a season format, but it's certainly unique for a sitcom - it's closer to Sherlock than Fawlty Towers in this sense. Anyway, so how's the show? Well, it's great. With the brilliant Richard Curtis serving as a co-writer throughout its run, you get plenty of witty dialogue, uproarious belly-laughs and quirky characters, with the ensemble cast committing to their respective schtick 110%. Every member of the main cast is appropriately defined, and there is character development over the two decades that the show was on the air. It's also easy to love Dawn French as the titular vicar; she's a treat. The Christmas special involving multiple Christmas lunches is an annual festive tradition in several households, including mine, and the climatic two episodes perfectly encapsulate the numerous charms of this wonderful show. The show even managed to surprise me with its guest stars from time to time. I did feel emotional while watching the final episode, especially now that Emma Chambers and John Bluthal have passed away - we won't get to see the main cast together ever again. Anyway, I love this show and I highly recommend it if you adore British comedy.
