The Vicar of Dibley is one of my all-time favourite comedies. I prepared this vocabulary worksheet for a short episode made for Red Nose Day featuring Johnny Depp. I’m just using it as a bit of Friday afternoon fun, since the students have been working hard all week. If anyone wants to write comprehension questions, I’m happy to add them to the post 🙂
Warning: do not watch/read if you are easily offended. There are some rude words included in the sheet as the double entendres they create are the key to many of the jokes.

The answers are here (click to enlarge):
Enjoy!
Here’s a page of notes I made after the lesson. At the top are some extra idioms to teach the students. At the bottom are some possible discussion questions.

Hi Dara,
i used it with Upper Intermediate students. I have a few notes which I will attach to the post in a minute so you can see some questions and extra vocab that you could use/teach the students.
Let me know if you make any changes…would be interested to hear how it goes!

Thanks Leo 🙂 I’ve only used it with one class, so I’d definitely be interested in any suggestions/improvements. VoD is one of my favourite TV programmes 🙂
