  The Vicar of Dibley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vicar of Dibley is a British sitcom created by Richard Curtis, and mostly written by Curtis and Paul Mayhew-Archer.
In The Vicar of Dibley DVD boxset, released in 2005 by Universal UK (not the BBC, who only had early VHS rights), this series is packaged as "Love and Marriage".
In the show, Dibley is said to be located in Oxfordshire; however, real places are mentioned such as High Wycombe and Princes Risborough, both of which are in Buckinghamshire.

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.
