Inner-city parish life hasn't got any easier, so when he becomes an accidental hero, the vicar gets a bit carried away. The arrival of a particularly talented young curate, Abi, appears to be a literal Godsend for Adam, but his initial enthusiasm at the thought of some time off is somewhat short-lived. Nigel finally has the chance to prove he'd be a better priest than his boss. The Archdeacon also has lofty ambitions for career advancement. The first three series of the BBC sitcom set in and around a struggling London church.

Unwilling to turn anyone away from his pastoral care, he is faced with a series of moral challenges as he balances the needs of genuine believers, people on the streets, and drug addicts, as well as the demands of social climbers using the church to get their children into the best schools. Adam has a difficult job as a modern city vicar. His wife Alex, who has her own career as a solicitor to worry about, supports him through his life as a priest, while not being engaged with his work. He is also supported by lay reader Nigel, who believes he should be running the church. In supervision is Archdeacon Robert, who puts pressure on Adam to increase the congregation and church income. Parishioners include Colin, a heavy drinking, unemployable lost soul who is Adam's most devoted parishioner; Adoha, known for her romantic intentions towards the clergy; and Mick, who is homeless and appears on Adam's doorstep in different situations asking for money. The programme depicts a number of themes which reach their denouement at the end of Season 3. These plotlines reflect both a view of the contemporary C of E Church in London, but also echo familiar narrative from the New Testament. This is notable in a storyline which sees Adam Smallbone reluctantly return to his now deconsecrated St Saviour's Church, with the series most prominent characters, to lead an unofficial Easter Mass carried out after breaking into the Church, and to eventually baptise his infant daughter. By this time, we have seen stories that echo those of Judas Iscariat's betrayal of Christ in the story of Nigel, Peter's thrice denying Christ in the story of Colin, Christ's relationship with Mary Magdalene in the story of Ellie, his 40 days in exile in his suspension pending the investigation of his affair, the encounter with the moneylenders in the Temple in Adam's meeting with the area Dean and Diocesan Secretary as they assess the real estate value of the Church, and in Adam's downfall, the bearing of the cross to Calvary, before, in the Easter ceremony, his eventual Resurrection. Other characters also fulfil roles that refer to figures in the New Testament. Interviewed in April , Tom Hollander said that he did not know whether there would be a fourth series, and that after the third series "we all want to just pause". He added that "The idea of not doing it any more is sad but also quite attractive, because you wouldn't want for it to ever get worse. The show was created by Tom Hollander and James Wood.

Rev tv show cast

Award-winning BBC2 sitcom Rev is back on Monday, March 24 and we caught up with Tom Hollander - who plays the long-suffering vicar of a Hackney church - to talk about working with babies, people shouting 'Rev! We started writing and talking about what story we were going to do in September so that preparation period's quite long. But before that we'd been doing nothing else but Rev for a couple of years so we just wanted to do some other things and get inspired again and also make sure we cared about it as much as before! He has the baby in the vestry which irritates Nigel, but moments of beauty when he shows the baby the stained glass window and the light falls on her face makes the drudgery of pushing her around in the pram in the rain worthwhile. They were pretty frightened of me! I don't have children myself and I'm not very confident with them and it got to the point where they would see me and start screaming. But with the miracle of editing, she is very cute and makes a significant contribution to the scenes that she's in by looking very strangely wise in the way babies do. He wants to be a godparent. Vicars' babies become the property of the parish so it belongs to everyone, in the same way that the vicarage belongs to everyone. Joanna Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine are returning this series - they want to close the church don't they?
