A few notes.

[edit]

Why is Geraldine marked as "Geraldine Kennedy"? It wasn't until the last episode that she married Harry, and even then it isn't said that she took her husband's last name. Also, where do the "nicknames" of some of the characters come from and why is Frank Pickle said to be an escaped convict? 101090ABC (talk) 09:20, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alice and the jokes

[edit]

I have corrected the assertion that Alice "never" understands the joke - she does in at least two episodes. Smurfmeister (talk) 21:40, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why WikiProject Buckinghamshire?

[edit]

Why does the heading of this talk page say that this article is of interest to WikiProject Buckinghamshire when the article says that Dibley is set in Oxfordshire?Vorbee (talk) 20:18, 13 March 2019 (UTC) OK I have had a better look at this article and see that the series was filmed in Turville in Buckinghamshire. That does explain things. Vorbee (talk) 18:11, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Worth mentioning French and Saunders episode?

[edit]

A year before The Vicar of Dibley began, French, along with Jennifer Saunders, did a sketch in their show French and Saunders (series 4, episode 2) in which French (in character) states that she has been accepted as television's first female comedy vicar. I have no idea whether filming of "The Vicar of Dibley" was already under way by then, but could this be worthy of mention, perhaps in a trivia section? — Paul G (talk) 08:09, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
