Rev
I’ve got a friend who’s a vicar.
Nice chap, pretty cool, not the sort whose job you’d necessarily guess if you spotted him in civvies.
So I thought perhaps I’d show him my preview DVD of this new sitcom, just to get his thoughts, seeing as the main character is a man of the cloth.
Then I decided against it, because there’s quite a bit of swearing and a fair few sexual references – and, in all honesty, not that many belly laughs.
Tom Hollander plays Reverend Adam Smallbone, preaching to a dwindling congregation at his London church – but surprised to discover, in this opening episode, that a lot of new faces are suddenly showing up.
Surprised, that is, until he realises they have an ulterior motive. Olivia Colman and Alexander Armstrong also star.
