    • Trivia
      This is the one-off 1997 Comic Relief special episode, featuring a cross-over story with the other fictional religious BBC series that was also on in the 1990s called "Ballykissangel". This puts The Vicar of Dibley and Ballykissangel within the same fictional universe.

      Reverend Geraldine Granger: We were playing monopoly at the time, weren't we?

      Alice: That's right. I was *so* proud.

      Reverend Geraldine Granger: Yeah. Off you go then, sad little lunatic.
