The BBC has revealed that the comedian will reprise her role as Geraldine Granger in a special ceremonial show titled Vice Doubly in Lockdown from the popular show. .

A jubilant dawn said: « Back at the dog’s collar, back to Dibley and back to your television at Christmas. I couldn’t be happier. God bless you.

Added the man behind the show, Richard Curtis: “Like every village in the country, a lot has happened at Dipley this year – and Dawn has a lot to say about it..

Vice Dippy first appeared on our screens in 1994 and the last episode aired in 2007.

Earlier this year, Geraldine returned to TV for a one-time special as part of BBC’s Big Night In.

Vice Dippy was a part of life from a twisted English village with an eccentric priest, played by Don French.

It lasted until 1998 with regular specials and one time until its last episode on Christmas Day 2007. The cast has also met on several charity shows, most recently in 2015.

It was the first time they had met together since the tragic death of Only Fools And Horses legend, Roger Lloyd Buck, who lost his battle against pancreatic cancer in 2014.

Then, just three years after the final charity episode, two of the cast members died tragically.

Emma Chambers, who played the lovable and adorable Alice Tinker, was only 53 years old when she died at home.

Emma suffered from severe allergies throughout her life and was a close friend of her co-star, Dawn.

At the time, Dawn said, “Emma was a very bright spark and the most loyal and loving friend a person could wish for.. We will miss her very much.

In an emotional interview, she added, « So young and I think we all still struggle with it a little. My memories of working with Emma are some of my favorite memories of my entire career.

“She is a fairly hardworking person, often unlike Alice. It was incredibly bright. Very funny, yet she was able to play someone who was in a different world.

“You didn’t play the obnoxious role, you played someone who had a different reality. She was incredibly authentic in that and I will miss that.

Tragically, Emma wasn’t the only member to die in 2018. John Blothall, who played the grumbling Frank Bickle, passed away on November 15.

Star Dawn is destroyed. « Tons of happy laughs remember today, » she said in a moving tribute. Cheeky, naughty, cheerful. Farewell Darlene ‘Bluey.

Writer Paul Mayhew-Archer previously claimed fans had already got their perfect ending with Geraldine marrying the man of her dreams, played by Richard Armitage.

Paul praised a fan favorite, Emma, ​​saying, “I remember going into little corners of the studio and going through the lines over and over and having the perfect way to introduce her to five-year-old girl who was playing.
