The Dibley Parish Council need a new vicar after the death of the nonagenarian, Percy Pottle. However, they're shocked by his female replacement.

The Songs of Praise team come to the parish to meet Geraldine. Unfortunately for her, the director of the team is rather dishy, while Alice continues to be devastatingly below par on the IQ front.

Vicar Geraldine hopes to better the previous year's takings for the Autumn Fayre by finding a huge star to open it, but instead she lands herself in a pickle.

After an unfortunate accident involving a big tree, St Barnabus' Church finds itself in need of a new stained-glass window. Unfortunately, no-one can remember the theme of the old pane.

The local elections are looming and David is confident of victory. His new plans include twinning Dibley with every country in Europe, except Belgium.

Geraldine decides the Sunday service needs a radical overhaul and proposes turning the chapel into a wonderful new ark, but parish council chairman David is far from impressed.
