| The 1990s was a good decade for new
BBC sitcoms, and 'The Vicar Of Dibley' was one of the
best. Reflecting the more alternative type of comedy,
which began to make an impression in the 1980s, 'The
Vicar Of Dibley' had a very offbeat group of characters.
The main being the sex starved vicar of Dibley herself,
Geraldine Granger (Dawn French), who was not only
fighting against male prejudice, but her own vices of
booze and chocolate! Created by
Richard Curtis, 'The Vicar Of Dibley' was brave enough to
use its 'Happy New Year' episode of 2005 to highlight
world poverty.

Main Characters
Boadicea
Geraldine Granger (Dawn French) - Horny, boozy, chocolate addict.
Desperate for a bit of love and affection. A very
untypical vicar.
David
Horton (Gary Waldhorn)
- Tory
prig, but reveals he has a heart more and more as the
series develops - and falls for Geraldine. Has the worry
of son Hugo and Alice being an item.
Hugo
Horton (James Fleet)
- Nice
but dim, and a perfect match for Alice Tinker.
Frank
Pickle (John Bluthal) -
A
likeable bore, and then he shocks everyone by revealing
he's gay.
Letitia
Cropley (Liz Smith) -
Strange
old lady, who comes up with weird recipes.
Jim
Trott (Trevor Peacock)
- Bumbling
guy, who can't stop saying "no, no, no, no, no."
Owen
Newitt (Roger Lloyd Pack) -
Sinister,
sex-obsessed farmer.
Alice
Tinker (Emma Chambers) -
Nice
but dim blonde verger.
The likes
of Kylie Minogue, Sean Bean (as Geraldine's lust interest),
and Rachel Hunter appeared as guest stars.
