How Each Vicar of Dibley Cast Member Died

Dawn French is not the last surviving member of the principal cast. James Fleet, who played Hugo, also is still alive.and is five years older than Dawn French.
true never mentioned him
@@katv1195 Yes. I thought it was strange that Hugo wasn't mentioned. So the last two surviving primary cast members.
Yes. I saw him recently in the movie Operation Mincemeat. He played M.
I was just about to say that, too! Let's not forget Hugo!
I was also thinking about Hugo, i wonder why he was left out.
James Edward Fleet born 1952 played Hugo Horton is well and still alive
Yes, why didn't this channel mention him after mentioning Dawn?
Thought so as well.
Most recently he played the character Chris Lowe in the excellent crime drama 'Unforgotten' (series 3)
Yes, he is. He plays George III in the new Netflix series "Queen Charlotte - A Bridgerton Story".
I speak as an American - Vicar of Dibley was by far the best sitcom ever seen in our country, and it is millions and millions of miles ahead of anything we've done. There have been love affairs between countries and individuals: America loved Jackie Kennedy, we loved Diana, and we loved Alice too - I can't believe it's not butter.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerseUK I can't do that. They were all so good! The silly old lady that was a ghastly cook, but you loved her, the old men just being themselves, the young couple in love and, OH, what the heck, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT BUTTER!!!!
@@fredferd965Liz's character in the Royle family was Norma "nana" Speakman
What about Hugo? He's still alive ❤
Yes, so there are 2 main characters still alive, not one.
Great video but your claim at the end is wrong. Hugo, played by James Fleet, is still alive and well (at time of posting) and given he starred in all 20 episodes he surely counts as a "primary member of the show's cast"
James Fleet is a Superb Actor also, and has acted in many dramas, including tv adaptation of Charles Dickens ( Little Dorrit )
Also in Four Weddings and a Funeral and Outlander.
Oxfordshire is NOT a fictional British village! (It's a county and the capital city of Oxfordshire is Oxford!)
I agree. I live in the County and can confirm it exists and so do other inhabitants.
So there IS a village called Oxfordshire?
I heard that there is some kind of university there even.
@@rosemaryconstable5620 O
@@davidreichert9392 Oxfordshire is a COUNTY; Oxford is a city and the capital of Oxfordshire. Saying Oxfordshire is a village would be like saying that Texas is a village!
I love this series. I have a boxed set of all the episodes and loved how at the end of each one, the vicar and Alice would be having a cuppa while the vicar told a joke and Alice would NEVER "get it"
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@FactsVerse UK has to be when Gerry oversees the Dibley Faire and thinks Alice's cousin, Reg Dwight, is Elton John, and the whole village becomes Elton John fans.
Yeah I used love when she told Alice jokes that she wouldn't get at initially. I loved how Letitia used to make weirdest food concoctions but no had the heart to tell her she couldn't cook. The Easter episode where she had half of the parish acting as Easter bunnies upon her death and the episode where Geraldine eats like three Christmas dinners with dessert and had to use a wheelbarrow to get home were two of many of my favorite episodes.
Alice got the first joke
James fleet is alive and played Hugo horton , someone got it wrong, a absolutely fantastic show 👏.
Up there with Only Fools and Horses for me. So iconic. Hard to pick a favourite character but if I had to it would have to be Alice, the scene with Dawn French "You know I can't believe it's not butter...." 🤣
What about James Fleet as Hugo Horton???? I realize he is still living, but he at least deserves a mention also.
It is shocking that only 2 are left! Another sitcom, Dad's Army, featuring older actors, they have all passed and did so some time ago, but to have only James Fleet and Dawn French still alive is sad. Especially Emma Chambers who died so young.
No, Ian Lavender, who played Private Pike, is still alive.
Ian Lavender....Private Pike , is still alive...
The fictional village of Dibley...Not Oxfordshire ...That is a county and town, it exists.
Oxfordshire is a county, not a village. The village was named Dibley, hence the name of the programme.
Very little research is done by the uploaders, Google, copy, paste, upload.
And the actual village was Turville in bucks.😉
Thanks for this info.
I loved all of them, never tired watching the repeats .♥️😂😂♥️
Loved this show! Miss it very much! Great cast!
Well written and full of memorable characters - a classic of TV. Perhaps the greatest contribution though is the wonderful reversal of roles. Up to then the part of a vicar was always written as someone not bright enough to survive in the modern world but here she is the only normal person! It also went a long way in gaining acceptance of female priests. A notable achievement for a comedy show.
I could choose a favourite character they were all absolute legends Rest In Peace those no longer with us
I guess James Fleet who played Hugo has vanished so well into his role playing King George over on Bridgerton the video forgot that he's still alive.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
It was a great show, with top notch cast. It is hard to pick a favorite cast member, each one of them had a unique and quirky persona. The sweet naivety of Alice Tinker was a standout.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerseUKRoger who played Owen has the same Birthday as me (8th February)
Okay I must admit that I am in luv with this series. I have the complete box set and have watched the complete series at least 11 times. I am an American but wish we could come make sit coms like this. Sorry to see almost all of the characters have died. Now I'm going to start watching the series again
I also have the complete set, watched so many times, clever and witty! ❤️🇦🇺
I never knew Trevor Peacock wrote songs, especially "Mrs. Brown" for Herman's Hermits. That was a big hit in the US when I was a kid. Trevor Peacock and Liz Smith were both in the 1999 version of "A Christmas Carol" with Patrick Stewart. Liz Smith was Mrs. Dibler, Scrooge's charwoman, and Trevor Peacock was Old Joe, the rag and bone man.
Did you know Dawn French was also in the Harry Potter movies. She took over as the portrait that opens the Gryffindor commons rooms.
This is what the narrator says: "in the fictional village of Oxfordshire." And this, I think, is what he meant to say: "It is set in the fictional Oxfordshire village of Dibley."
There were many other errors in this video, so this is no surprise.
I don't have one favourite I loved them all. thanks for the memories. Rest in peace.
You're a true fan! Thank you so much for your beautiful message 💗
And what a fantastic team they are were... very very funny performances by all..
Gold stars to all...
Hilariously entertaining..
Thank you all..
You missed one. Hugo! He was on the Bridgerton story! and I believe on Queen Charolette
James Fleet is currently King George the third in Bridgerton.
Fictional village of Oxfordshire?! Oxfordshire is a real place! And as the other poster noted - Dawn French isn't the last surviving cast member.
No mention of James Fleet (Hugo Horton).
If they didn’t mention James Fleet because he is still alive why did they mention Dawn French because if it’s supposed to be about the cast members that are dead then surely Dawn French should not have been included or they should have included them both.
He hasn't died
@Judybee she was the vicar and she had the main role, but the title cast members that is dead and she is not dead, but yes, she had a big role
@Judybee Apparently you missed the narration at the end, where it was stated that Dawn was the last surviving primary cast member! Who’s the silly one now? 🤣
Convent Garden?
Favourite character it's got to be Jim, no no no no no no, yes.
And his wife, yes yes yes yes yes no.
Dawn French and Liz Smith both had iconic roles in the series Larkrise to Candleford.
What about Hugo? And the guy who played the choirmaster? Both are still alive and well I believe...
Yes Simon mcburney is still alive
I love them all it was such a great series ❤
James Fleet is still going on strong god bless him. I Loved the The Vicar of Dibley, My all time fav best sitcom ! I love Dawn French. I am from IndIa I still feel the pain to see we lost so many wonderful actors.I think British sitcom are the best! I also loved Richard Armitage acting in Vicar of Dibley,
Love this show ! I miss seeing it
3:11 I know Americans struggle with geography but Poland isn't in Australia. It isn't even in Austria.
I thought I heard incorrectly. I thought it meant he was born in Poland and grew up in Australia.
He lived in Australia and was an Australian citizen. Like many other Australians, he was born overseas and came here as a child, just before WWII.
Oxfordshire is a county not a village. Dibley is the village.
And Oxfordshire is definitely not fictional! 😅 Dibley however is! X
Nope, as the little says, she was the Vicar of Dibley a fictional village in Oxfordshire!
This rubbish. Using the later Sweeny film instead of the TV series and showing Maggis Smith instead of Liz Smith. Terrible
..
The number of errors in the 1st 3 minutes turned me right off. "... the fictional village of Oxfordshire..." - Jim "Trot" were just 2. Couldn't be bothered to watch anymore.
@@SuzyQ334 I agree...garbage
you failed to mention James Fleet who played Gary Waldhorn"s son
James Fleet also played in the really successful under cover police episodes.
Someone did not do their homework for this vids info…
I know, it’s annoyingly full of errors and missing information.
Some years ago I was at a agricultural farm show looking around one of their tents exibiting. Some cages of birds and other animals. My friend had taken some birds to show there. When i walked past you also looking around the exhibition. 😊😊
And " ........ Hugo ?
James Fleet who played Hugo Horton not getting a mention here?
How can they forget Hugo, who happens to be alive and well.
Thank You 🙏
No she's not. At time of writing James Fleet (Hugo Horton) is still with us. "Get it right!", as Graeme Garden (off-screen) would snarl at hapless youth Tim Brooke-Taylor during a botched advert. A shepherd's crook would edge towards Brooke-Taylor's neck, ready to yank him off the set.
The video you played when talking about Liz Smith showed actress MAGGIE Smith!
James Fleet ( Hugo Horton ) is still alive . . . Do your homework.
oh come now, you don't expect Americans to get facts right do you ??????
@@jeanniemullinder9038 How do you know the lady to whom you replied is not herself an American?
Hugo shakes his fist at you and yells,
"HEY...I'M still alive, ya bstrd!
and what about hugo
I am the verger at the Anglican cathedral here and whenever I give tours and mention my job, I have to assure folks that while I am verger, I am NOT like Alice Tinker!
I mean…has there been confusion in the past? 🤣🤣🤣
Hugo's still with us
Should get the facts correct, before recording it to the world.
Yes, what about Hugo?
He is alive
The man that played Hugo is still alive as well
Where's James Fleet, i.e. Hugo Horton?!
I LOVE the “SERIES” on BBC “The Vicar of DIBLEY” Starring Dawn French as the “Principle” Actress ⭐️ “with “Other” LOVABLE Characters👏👏✍🏻 ✌️seen on “TV” OR other Compact “Devices” to this DAY. OR “Remembered” to this DAY🙏✍🏻🙏on “CORDLESS” Apparatuses✍🏻❤😮😟😢😢✍🏻RIP AMEN 😮✍🏻🙏😇😇😇😭😢😢
If he tells about Dawn, he should talk about James. Emma Chambers didn’t die of natural causes.
A Heart Attack is listed as the cause Emma's death. It is considered a natural cause insofar as I am aware
Heart attack
@@Judybee.it was a heart attack 😊
@@Judybee. and you same back maybe that’s possible yes she was good 😊
@@lizbradford7706I remember it being reported she died of an undiagnosed congenital heart disease.
Touched me some episodes more then any other American and British.
Love British shows ❤
What about James Fleet? He is still alive.
James Fleet played Hugo, he is still very much alive and in work a lot.
What about James Fleet, who played Hugo Horton? Surely, he was a primary member of the "Vicar of Dibley" cast!
Dawn French is not the last surviving member of Vicar of Dibley there's also James Fleet who played Hugo Horton
Um…The Vicar of Dibley is set in the village of Dibley. It tells you right there in the title. See how that works?
You scared the shit out of me with that description. I thought, "how did I not know that the guy who played Hugo had died?" Turns out he hasn't, so your description is wrong. Please updated, as the title is perfectly fine and is the reason I came looking for the video.
Yes no Hugo he s still alive acting in outlander Scottish tv series
Like anything else it is all about choosing one, whereas it is the show cast who are the best, because without one you do not get that interaction that is so good.
Best show ever
You know I Can't Believe It's Not Butter? Well, I can't believe it's not butter.
You know,that stuff that's like I can't believe it's not butter? I can't believe it's not I can't believe it's not butter.
I the actor John also appeared in episode of birds of a feather
Liz was also in a show called I didn't know you cared
Emma Chambers was an important membor for sure.
Reruns are still running here in Australia. Watch it often.
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
As a general FYI - In the UK ‘natural causes’ and ‘old age’ are not accepted causes of death on death certificates since about 1997.
Roger Lloyd Pack was the only actor to appear in both versions of Survivors (BBC)
Once you start looking for that guy, he was everywhere!
SO many errors. didn't watch it all. poorly researched
John Bluthal was born in Poland and lived in Australia. He died in Sydney.
I was wondering how the " Australian born John Bluthal was born in Poland".
They also forgot her series Delicious. She was a chef.
John also has appeared in numerous adverts here in Australia for the famous Oils an't oils promote tins.
You forgot James Fleet who played Hugo Horton - he is still alive. So there are 2 cast members still alive.
Wheres' the actor who played Hugo?
Alive and well.
and apparently forgotten! Poor Hugo 😕
Ummm wrong she isn't James Fleet who played Hugo is still.alive
James Edward Fleet is very much alive n well. Why was he not included in the video
Trevor was also in a episode of my family .his real son is also a actor
James Fleet (Hugo) is also a surviving principal cast member.
Also when is dying of a heart attack at the age of 53 (Emma Chambers) considered "natural causes"?
Died of natural causes at 53? Liz Smith might have done at 94, but Emma?
These youtube bods really should do some homework before they upload their stuff.
……heart attack……
Emma Chambers did die of natural causes. She had a heart attack. That is natural causes. Do you think only older folks die of natural causes? What do you think natural causes actually means?
Hugo the acter is still alive? Very well known and in lots of movies
James fleet, also died sadly
@Suzie Hill No he didn't. He's 71 and still going strong.
@@suziehill9361 James Fleet is alive and well and still working as an actor. Currently plays George III in the Bridgerton spin off, Queen Charlotte. He lives in Oxfordshire.
How about adding a trailer to cover the overlooked actor, James Fleet?
Such a fun show
We're happy to know that you love the show. Who is your favorite cast member?
I think anyone who has ever served on a church committee recognizes these characters and laughs themselves silly!
Yes don't forget the lovely Hugo! Mr Fleet ❤😊
My favorite caracters were Alice and Frank and of course David Horton❤
Our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
Hugo Horton is still around. He’s the SECOND cast member listed in the IMDB! Why wasn’t he mentioned? Oxfordshire is not fictional. You need to do more research and get your facts straight.
At 4:19 whilst talking about Liz Smith, Dame Maggie Smith is shown! 🙄😖
One of a whole bunch of errors and omissions……
HUGO HORTON.!
exsqueeze me
james fleet deserves a mention..
not cool.!
✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
"...Church of England vicar in the fictional village of Oxfordshire."
Should read 'in' Oxfordshire. Dibley was the village; Oxfordshire is a genuine English county. In England, counties are large administrative areas that encompass towns and villages.
Also, there are two surviving members of the original cast. Dawn French is one; the other is James Fleet who played Hugo Horton.
Wrong photo for Liz, you put Maggie Smith. 😢
Er, you completely ignored Hugo?!?
I enjoyed the show.
Roger Lloyd Pack was born in London in 1944?? Wow. I thought all pregnant women were sent to the home counties to give birth as it was deemed dangerous to give birth in the capital.
The clip you showed was Maggie Smith, not Liz Smith. So many inaccuracies in this 'FactVerse'.
