Dawn French brings back the Vicar of Dibley in funny lockdown video – watch!

The Vicar of Dibley returned to our screens last night!

Dawn French reprised her famous role as Geraldine Granger while taking part in BBC One’s The Big Night In.

Airing in the UK on Thursday evening, the charity telethon was raising funds for those on the frontline fighting COVID-19.

The money raised by The Big Night In is being split between Comic Relief and Children in Need.

It will go on to support local charities and projects in the UK, so they can continue to provide vital emergency support.
