The Vicar of Dibley

Arrival - S1-E1

Corrected entry: During the council meeting where the David has drafted the letter for the Bishop, once Frank objected, David then responds with "Jim!" rather than "Frank!"

Correction: David Horton is addressing another character (Jim Trott) at the time. It is not a mistake at all.

Winter - S3-E2

Corrected entry: When Geraldine is making the final speech, at the end of the nativity, her angel wings are missing on the first shot, but are there on the second.

Correction: This happens because she begins the scene with no wings, and then makes them appear in context with the speech she is making. It seems like a mistake if you miss the couple of seconds of footage where she pulls a cord to make them appear.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Having grown up in a series of vicarages, I can tell you there's no way she would've gotten away with that decor. Only very bland, pastel colours are allowed.

Correction: All the documentation I can find from the Church of England indicates that the internal decoration is down to the vicar. Perhaps your parents lied to you in order to keep the decor to their liking.

Dibley Live - S2-E2

Audio problem: During the scene where Jim and Owen are trying to bribe the Vicar with chocolates, just after they take them back, you can hear a mysterious voice say "chocolates". The only person who this sounds like is Jim, but in the next shot, his lips aren't moving.

Geraldine: Well, here's to love and marriage, which go together like a horse and carriage, according to Cole Porter, who should know, he was gay.

Elections - S1-E5

Question: At the end of this episode, there is a joke about two nuns in a bar with some soap. Does anyone understand the joke? I can't get it.

Answer: Yes - I think it was two nuns in the bathroom, and one says 'Wheres the soap' and the other one says 'Yes it does a bit'...it's a play on words. The first one is asking a question (Where is the soap) but the other one thinks she is saying 'WEARS the soap'.
