Geraldine has been in Dibley for ten years, so the village decides to mark the milestone in the only way it knows how: loudly, with far too much wine. A carol-writing competition has the parish tied in knots, David invites the Archbishop of Canterbury to the party, and a lingerie model and a chocolate fountain complete the scene. It is warm, silly and generous with its jokes, and a fine reminder of why Dibley made so many Christmas Days better.
