Summary:
Tom Hollander stars as the Rev. Adam Smallbone. He is a Church of England vicar, newly promoted from a sleepy rural parish to the inner-city world of St. Saviour's in east London. He has little experience of this world, and it shows. Adam grapples with an evangelical priest hell-bent on taking over his church, pushy parents fighting for school places and even pole dancers. He succumbs to envy when he hears an old rival and then suffers a crisis of faith when he's humiliated within the Christian online community, leading to a drunken incident at a vicars and tarts party. Co-created by Tom Hollander and James Wood.
