Thoughts

Who doesn’t love The Vicar of Dibley? The version I read didn’t have the bright cheerful dust jacket on, it was just a red hardback book. It looks intimidating, but once you open the cover, there is simply joy inside.

There are selected scripts, although after doing some research, I discovered that there are only some of the first series episodes missing, and of course anything since the book was released.

The text was interspersed with biography style pictures, plus a few new additions in the form of notes, drawings and scribbles. It’s brilliant, and the sort of book I can pick up in a few years and enjoy it all over again.

Rating: 5 / 5
