The first series of The Vicar of Dibley is perhaps the most charming of them all. In this episode, a violent storm destroys the beautiful stained glass window in the church of St Barnabus.

The highlights of this episode are the fantastic council meetings to discuss, initially, the great storm and the great wind etc and then, the possibilities of what the window actually used to depict. Moses and the feeding of the five thousand sheep in a library doesn't quite seem right.

The cast are magnificent with their rapport with each other and these two scenes are genuinely hilarious.

This is still one of my all time favourite sitcom episodes.moreless

- David: I have spent the week investigating the prices of stained glass, and the lowest quote we have is for £11,000. Owen: Bugger me! You could have someone killed for that! Edit
- Alice: Okay, I've got one for YOU this time. Geraldine: Oh, okay! Alice: Knock-knock. Who's there? Ronnie. Ronnie who? Ronnie Barker! (The joke continues in this style whilst the vicar gets increasingly frustrated) Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- One of the children in the church mentions Samantha Fox. Later on, there was talk of how the body of a stain glass female was based on her as well. Samantha Fox was a page three model and singer in the 1980's. Edit
- One of the characters makes the Vulcan hand gester and says Live Long and Prosper. That is one of the many things associated with Star Trek. Edit
