Following the death of their nonagenarian vicar, Dibley's Parish Council is awaiting his replacement. To their surprise - and the horror of Chairman David Horton - their new man turns out to be a woman: Geraldine!

Songs of Praise are coming to film Dibley and its new female vicar. Unfortunately for Geraldine, the producer turns out to be devastatingly attractive - and Alice, who's reading the lesson, continues to be devastatingly below par on the brains front.

Geraldine takes on the organisation of the annual Autumn Fair and promises a more celebrated featured guest than last year after Alice lets slip that her cousin is Reg Dwight. And everyone knows that Elton John's real name is…

St Barnabas' Church finds itself in need of a new stained-glass window after Dibley is hit by a hurricane. The problem is, no one can remember what was on the old window.

David has been the Councillor in a safe Tory seat for many years. But when Geraldine becomes concerned that not enough has been done for his constituency, David finds he now has a village that is prepared to vote for the Vicar.

Geraldine plans to hold a special service of blessing in St Barnabas for all the animals of the village. David is convinced it will fail - will all the animals be properly house-trained while in church?
