Editorial Reviews

Review
The scripts for this successful series in which Dawn French plays the buxom Rev Geraldine Granger are presented appropriately in small format "prayer-book" style and supplemented by information about the village of Dibley, its history and present inhabitants. It's a funny and original comedy idea and could have been fraught with problems in view of the controversy about the introduction of women priests. But Curtis seems to have negotiated that hurdle unscathed, as one would expect from an ace writer with Not the Nine O'Clock News, Mr Bean, Blackadder, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill to his credit. The book will be backed by a big marketing spend and publicity campaign, Dawn French and Emma Chambers (the dozy but desirable Alice) will be doing bookshop signings, and BBC1 is repeating the series in the run-up to Christmas.

Customer Reviews

Very funny, humorous and a great read.5
I really enjoyed this book and found it very funny. You can't help but laugh out loud at some of the things which are said between the small cast. I am a fan of these comedy script type books. In a similar vein are the 'Dad's Army' and 'Only Fools and Horses' script books. Both very funny. Highly recommended.

This Book is a MUST read - a Treasure!5
Amusing scripts that will laugh the socks of you! Crisp, lush photos of the Dibley group and other wonderful ideas. I love the 'Dibley Fete' - the 'Cow Throwing', The Alice Tinker's Stall of 'Guess the Weight of the 1lb Bag of Sugar',etc..... and all The other aspects of this Exellent Tribute to Dibley!

Equally as brilliant as the first book!5
This book is a must read - especially if you have read the 1st book aswell - would have been nicer in hardback - but still very entertaining
