The Vicar of Dibley has become a cult favorite. Over the
course of 16 episodes and specials, Gerry grappled with everything from a broken
church window to getting smeared in the tabloids, from the demise of the Easter
Bunny to the possible destruction of the village. While The Vicar of Dibley routinely trafficked in the absurd--pop star Kylie Minogue happens to drop by, just when she's most needed--at its best, the show
found its greatest absurdity (and its greatest humor) in the everyday life of an
English village and the everyday quirks of its daffy inhabitants.
