Sitcom about a former rural parish vicar trying to cope with the varied demands of running an inner-city church.
Every day throws up a moral conflict for the vicar. Adam Smallbone's door must always be open to urban sophisticates with ulterior motives, the chronically lonely, the lost, the homeless, the poor and the insane.
Adam is feeling the pressure of trying to fill a rundown London church — that is, until his congregation quadruples overnight. But the sudden influx of worshippers isn't down to word getting out about his wonderful sermons...
Adam is still trying to negotiate the moral maze of life within his East London parish. No longer a novice at St Saviour's since his move from rural Suffolk, surviving one winter has by no means made him an experienced urbanite and now it's time to tackle summer in the city...
The third series starts with Alex gives birth to their daughter in dramatic circumstances.
Adam's wife Alex gives birth to their daughter in dramatic circumstances. Can he manage being a father and a Father?
Adam's put on the spot as he's asked to perform a gay wedding. Can he give the couple what they want whilst sticking to church law?
Adam is intrigued when a local artist, Mike Tobin, offers to make a £60k donation to St Saviour's. Finally the Lord has provided a solution to Adam's financial problems. Nothing will go wrong (everything goes wrong). Meanwhile Adam ropes Ellie in to his campaign against some local litter louts.
Father Adam faces one of the biggest challenges of his ministry when a difficult new parishioner begins attending St Saviour's. The position of church treasurer is vacant and Adam has found the ideal candidate to turn the church's dire finances around. OK, so he has a conviction for viewing child abuse images online. But he's found solace, redemption and rehabilitation through the church. If the church isn't for forgiveness then what is it for? Meanwhile when Adam's own transgressions come back to haunt him, he ends up sofa surfing at Nigel's flat and Colin's homeless hostel.
Adam's shocked when he discovers that Nigel has reported him to the bishop for conduct unbecoming. As the archdeacon investigates Nigel's complaint, Adam begins to seriously doubt his calling. Maybe he's not cut out to be a vicar after all?
St Saviour's is closed and Adam is determined on a change of career. But can he shrug off his vocation so easily, and will his previous parishoners let him?
