Rating: M
Released by BBC and Roadshow Home Entertainment
Tom Hollander's return as Rev Adam Smallbone in a very gentle comedy is a welcome one.

Basically, the premise of the series is that Adam, a rural Rev, is placed in an inner city London parish and left to suffer the consequences of his flock, with hardly any help from the higher ups and the powers that be.In this latest run of six eps, and a Christmas special, you'll be hard pressed not to laugh or be moved by the stories and the subtle sophisticated humour on offer. Hollander is spot on perfect, bringing the right mix of confusion, heart and warmth as Adam as he makes his way through the world.
This series clearly has calibre too with the likes of Richard E Grant, Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville, The Following's James Purefoy and Ralph Fiennes all making guest appearances. My advice is that you sit down with this show and see why exactly it's attracting the big names to be part of it. Don't be put off by the religious feel of the comedy, these themes are universal - and totally watchable.

Why would I be put off by religious themes? What do people do when looking at the great art of the western world? Steel themselves not to be put off by the religious themes?
