I am catching up with the this show on the Drama TV channel, as I missed it when it was originally broadcast, it's supposedly BAFTA nominated though I really can't imagine what self respecting individual would wish to recommend this.
It's choc full of cartoon characters thrown together into some form of social tombola, the main character the 'Rev' of the title is Reverend Adam Smallbone, is the ineffectual vicar in a London parish so overly keen, and eager to please absolutely everyone, that he actually manages to please virtually no one.
This includes his long suffering spouse Alex, who it would appear wants to start a family rather than be a vicars wife, is constantly frustrated by the seemingly perpetual demands of his vacation.
The Archdeacon Robert seems to me that he considers the church as a business endeavour, as he spends his entire time acting as a form of middle manager, nipping around in his subsidised motor being paid, to chivvy the Rev into "meeting church defined arbitrary 'Targets'"
A character Adoha Onyeka is someone that I really can't understand how she fits in around the church, I expect I haven't watched enough episodes to realise if she volunteers her time there, what really surprises me is her attitude towards the Rev.
The character Colin Lambert is an archetypal layabout, who appears to use the Revs church as a virtual doss house, who loves to scrounge on the Revs generosity, at every available opportunity.
