Dawn French will return as maverick Vicar Geraldine Grainger in three ten-minute Vicar of Dibley specials this Christmas on BBC television.
The Vicar of Dibley, which was created by Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill writer Richard Curtis, originally aired on BBC One from 1994 to 2007 and is now available to stream on Netflix.
The vicar returned for a lockdown sermon last April and the new shows are very much set during the pandemic era, with the vicar's monthly sermons to her oddball parishioners taking place via Zoom.
The ten-minute shows will air in the run-up to Christmas and a 30-minute compilation episode will air at Christmas.
French told the BBC about the news that she "couldn't be happier" to be back in the role, and Richard Curtis hinted at what's in store for us.
"Like every village in the country, there's been a lot happening in Dibley this year - and Dawn has got a lot to say about it." he said.
