They warmed the hearts of the British public and now Footlights are bringing some of the best known moments and plotlines from the show back to life! During the run of the television series it was in the top ten viewed programmes of the year on five occasions as well as receiving multiple British Comedy Awards, and this production is set to remind us of why it was so popular.

For the first time in Footlight’s history the same cast from 2018 have been re-cast for 2019 and we are delighted to see them once again re-create all that is good in Dibley!
