Abigoliah Schamaun learns British comedy from Tom Salinsky

2.6 The Vicar of Dibley Explained

All British Comedy Explained… to Abigoliah Schamaun, by Tom Salinsky

2.6: The Vicar of Dibley. Released 30 April 2026.

With the powerhouse combo of Richard Curtis writing and Dawn French leading an ensemble cast, this one couldn’t really miss. We’ll watch the second episode of the first series, “Songs of Praise” and the 2004 Christmas special just called “Merry Christmas”.

Next time, we’ll swap religion for politics and dive into Yes (Prime) Minister. We’ll watch the very first episode “Open Government” and then we’ll join Jim Hacker in Number Ten for series 2 episode 1 of Yes Prime Minister “Man Overboard”.

Here’s a long list of social media systems where you can find the podcast and us.
