The Vicar of Dibley in Lockdown (2020) In December 2020, a series of shorter "lockdown" episodes of
The Vicar of Dibley were broadcast. These were mainly monologues by Geraldine, in the form of
COVID-19 lockdown video messages to her congregation, with occasional appearances by Hugo. In a change to pre-2020 episodes, the characters broke the
fourth wall speaking directly to the viewer as if they were Dibley residents. These lockdown minis were made, set and shown during the pandemic when churches were closed for many months and congregations across the UK met virtually via methods such as
Zoom. ==Notes==
