Hard to think Alice Tinker (Emma Chambers), Owen Newitt (Roger Lloyd-Pack), Frank Pickle (John Bluthall), Letitia Cropley (Liz Smith) and now dear Jim Trott (Trevor Peacock) are no longer with us. Bless you for entertaining us all these years. Dibley forever. #TheVicarOfDibley pic.twitter.com/wA4vMfukgA
