1 Episode 1
11/10/11
The Reverend Adam Smallbone is back and life in his London parish hasn't gotten any easier; his flock is just as demanding and his wife Alex has reached a breaking point. So when Adam unwittingly thwarts a mugging, he's tempted to bask in the novelty of being hailed a super vicar, and enjoy Alex's renewed attraction to her hero husband. But as the lie spirals out of control, Adam draws unwanted attention.

11/17/11
Abi Johnston, a talented young curate, comes to train at St Saviour's. Lay Reader Nigel is green with envy, and even Adam's initial enthusiasm at the prospect of someone to cover weekends off soon gives way to doubt in his own abilities as a priest when he realizes just how brilliant she is. When Colin decides his vicar needs cheering up, Adam inadvertently gets the chance to experience religious versus chemical ecstasy.
3 Episode 3
11/24/11
A heat wave hits London and Adam can't sleep. He's not the only one plagued by nightmares -- elderly parishioner Joan has just moved into a nursing home and is convinced her new room is haunted. Adam's called on to justify believing in the holy ghost but not spooks, and there are demands at home too -- Alex and Adam have a pint-sized house guest in the form of Adam's difficult goddaughter Enid.

12/1/11
The church school is up for religious inspection and head teacher Ellie is confident they'll pass with flying colours, thanks to inspiring new teacher Mr. Feld. The only problem is he's an atheist. Adam clashes with Ellie, but soon has another battle on his hands -- he's signed up for an interfaith football tournament and the St Saviour's congregation rather lacks young, fit athletes.
5 Episode 5
12/8/11
There's a hole in the church accounts and the Archdeacon's ready to pounce. Salvation appears to come in the form of a wealthy city banker who arrives at St Saviour's to join Alcoholics Anonymous. However, Adam's mind isn't on balancing the books -- con-artist Mick has arrived on the vicarage doorstep with a much bigger ask than the usual twenty quid, and Adam takes a huge risk.
6 Episode 6
12/15/11
Ambition is in the air. Pedantic Lay Reader Nigel has always believed he'd be a far better priest than Adam and finally gets the chance to prove it -- or not. The Archdeacon also has lofty ambitions for career advancement, but a surprise encounter throws a rather different light on things, and even Colin has got a new job. Meanwhile, Adam faces questions about his own future and has a big decision to make.
7 Episode 7
12/20/11
Christmas. The busiest time of year for a vicar, and Adam is full of ideas for his first Advent in London. However he soon discovers that Christmas at St Saviour's is quite different to his sleepy Suffolk parish. He's under pressure from the Archdeacon to maximize Seasonal profits, his schedule is packed with unusual events and he's up at the crack of dawn every morning to cook breakfast at the homeless shelter. Exhausted, with a permanent hangover and Midnight Mass looming he's in no mood for a house guest - least of all Alex's cantankerous father Martin.

About this show

Meet The Rev. Adam Smallbone. He's a Church of England Vicar, newly promoted from a sleepy rural parish to the busy, inner-city world of St Saviour's in Hackney, East London. It's a world he has no experience of. And it shows. It really shows. Alex, Adam's long-suffering wife, does her best to support him, but she's got her own career as a solicitor to worry about. And she does not fit the idea of a conventional vicar's wife. Anybody can and does come into St Saviour's. From scheming Members of Parliament trying to educate their children on the cheap to Colin, a heavy drinking, unemployable lost soul... Rev. is an authentic, albeit highly comic, portrait of the life of a modern, inner-city vicar.
