The Vicar of Dibley’s anti-racism scene, in which Dawn French’s character discussed Black Lives Matter, has drawn more than 200 complaints.
French obliquely addressed criticism of the scene on Twitter shortly after news broke that the show would discuss Black Lives Matter.
The Vicar of Dibley in Lockdown, which saw French’s Reverend Geraldine return for a series of festive shorts, featured the character discussing the death of George Floyd.
The Vicar of Dibley in Lockdown was well-received during its three-episode run, with viewers left “in tears” over a reference to the death of regular character Alice Tinker.
