Plots(1)
In his first comedy for ITV, Richard Briers stars as a beleaguered vicar who abandons the comforts of his affluent Oxfordshire parish for the more challenging climes of a run-down Midlands town. Also starring Barbara Ferris and Nigel Humphreys, this hugely engaging sitcom was penned by noted screenwriter John Kane, and directed by multi-award winner John Howard Davies. When doubts begin to assail the Rev. Philip Lambe, he feels the problems of an urban parish might help renew his faith in himself. But before accepting a position in Edendale, he must convince his family - particularly reluctant wife Emma - that the move will mean a fresh start for them all. When Philip and Emma finally visit Edendale, they discover that if anything, it's even worse than reports suggested. In fact, one night spent there confirms Emma's worst fears, and reinforces Philip's belief that Edendale really needs him. (Network)
