Episode Summary

When it's Geraldines 40th birthday she doesn’t want anyone to make fuss but they instead decide to cheer her up they send her to a dating agency, but when she sees all the council have decided to go as well, she gets nowhere. Meanwhile it's the 20th anniversary of Band Aid, and the vicar wants to do something special, but finds out that no one cares. So at the end she showed them all a video from the poverty website, which then makes them all care.

    The Vicar's last outing? hide show

    Geraldine: I want to make something as clear as the breasts on Jordan's chest.

    Not sure about this one. The jokes are quite flat and Dawn French plays herself through most of this, and not Geraldine Granger. The included Comic Relief video of exactly why the money raised is so important is the real winner here, as it is both effective and saddening in equal measures.

  • Geraldine explained that Margaret Thatcher got booted out as British Prime Minister by John Major. Actually John Major did not initiate any attempt to remove her from office, Thatcher was forced to resign as she did not win enough votes over challenger Michael Heseltine needed for an upright victory under Conservative Party rules.

    John Major, who was actually Thatcher's endorsed successor, was then elected to the leadership and thus the Prime Ministership beating Heseltine. []
  • Geraldine turns 40 in this episode. []
  • It is revealed Alice had 9 more children after baby Geraldine. []
  • Jim: Some of my most exciting sexual experiences have been with women who should have been under the hill rather than over it. []
  • Geraldine: I want to make something as clear as the breast on Jordan's chest. []
