The adorable Dawn French returns as the female vicar of a small English village in cherished Britcom The Vicar of Dibley. These four extended episodes center around love: Hugo (James Fleet) and Alice (Emma Chambers), the most dimwitted newlyweds of all time, get pregnant, while Gerry (French) falls in love with the prodigal brother of the wealthy landowner David--only to have David (Gary Waldhorn) himself propose to her later. In the final episode, a new reservoir threatens the entire village. While there's always been a taste of the absurd in The Vicar of Dibley (Kylie Minogue popping up in the first series, for example), the third series stretches reality a bit too much at times--but even the most improbable ideas are rescued by one of the best comic ensembles in television comedy, wonderfully anchored by French. From the writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually. --Bret Fetzer
