The Vicar of Dibley could be returning and Dawn French has hinted that her character Revd Geraldine Granger might be taking up a new role as a bishop.
The 58-year-old told The Daily Mirror that women bishops are part of modern society: "We now have church law in the UK that could be bishops, so who knows?
"Watch this space she might get a promotion."
The BBC series ran for around 13 years and more than 12 million viewers watched the final episode in 2007 when Revd Geraldine got married.
Dawn French has told fans that it would be difficult to go back to the original format though: "Our old guys are really old now, so I don't think we could revisit it, because it's just too different.
"But it could change."
The comedy show has won three British Comedy Awards and a National Television Award.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
