Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The opening- what happens to the man thatching the roof?

Answer: he slides down the roof

Thatching is the craft of covering a roof with vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, rushes and heather. It is probably the oldest roofing material and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates.

2. David opens the first parish council meeting we see by saying "Are we all ________?"

Answer: here

David is the local Tory counselor and self-acknowledged pillar of the community. As chairman of the parish council, he is generally the first person to oppose anything that even remotely sounds like fun. His wife left him (we never meet her) and later in the series his son Hugo is described by Geraldine as cactusman.

3. Frank Pickle, pedantic parish council secretary, has to cut a jolly interesting bit out of the minutes. Prince Edward's visit, as a result of the cut, is described as a _______.

Answer: rather annoying interlude

The jolly interesting bit that was cut out of the minutes is Owen describing the battle of the Somme going on in his colon.

4. What is the verger's first name?

Answer: Alice

Though her lack of smarts can sometimes make her more of a hindrance than a help, Alice's relationship with Geraldine is genuinely affectionate. She even named her first child after the vicar.

5. What is the weather like the night Vicar Geraldine Granger arrives in Dibley?

Answer: wet and windy

In Dibley they have had the 'Great Storm', the 'Quite Great Storm', the Great Frost and other 'Great' weather events. The night Geraldine arrived however, was simply quite wet and windy.

6. What does Geraldine point at when she says, "these are such a give-away aren't they" and Owen points out she's a woman?

Answer: her breasts

Geraldine is a babe with a bob-cut and magnificent - hmmm you figure it out.
Owen is a foul-mouthed farmer who is fascinated by Geraldine.

7. David is worried that having a woman vicar means ___________. Hugo points out that the old vicar used to do just that on the village green!

Answer: topless bathing on the rectory lawn

The former vicar used to bathe topless on the village green - of course he was a man!

8. Letitia Cropely does what jobs in and around Dibley?

Answer: all of these

Letitia Cropley was a character featured in the first series.

9. What did Alice use for Holy Communion because of the former vicar's drinking habits?

Answer: ribena

Alice is the spaciously-brained verger and Geraldine's best friend.

10. David is drafting a letter to the Bishop, at the parish council meeting, to get rid of Geraldine. She knows the bishop and calls him what?

Answer: Bertie

Geraldine enjoys nothing more than a good laugh and a packet of chocolate hob nobs. She is a thoroughly modern vicar and has a great relationship with the Bishop.
