Episode Synopsis

The Vicar of Dibley: Humour, Heart, and Radio DibleyEver wondered how a female vicar could turn a conservative village upside down? Join us as we go through the enchanting world of "The Vicar of Dibley," where Dawn French's portrayal of Geraldine Granger brings both humour and heart to quaint village life. We recount the show's timely 1994 debut, just as the Church of England began ordaining women, and highlight the significance of female leads in 90s comedy. With reflections on trailblazers like Jennifer Saunders and Victoria Wood, we also touch on the current comedy scene and the ongoing challenges for women in the field.This week, we look at 'Dibley Live.' Relive the delightful chaos of Dibley's parish council meetings and Alice Tinker's whimsical quests, from Jim and Frank's antics with a washing line to the (un)forgettable Curly Wurly competition. We also address the show's dated humour and the sometimes uncomfortable interactions between the male characters and Geraldine while celebrating the endearing qualities that have made the show a classic.Send us a textSupport the showPresented by Amanda Davies and Jacquie J SarahThat TV Comedy Podcast is a Deliciously Bright Production.Visit the website https://deliciouslybright.com/that-tv-comedy-podcast You can find out more about working with Jacquie at https://deliciouslybrightco.com/ decba7bf0a9a7b2e4a139eb3ca7778c74d9eab6b
