Rev. Series 2, Episode 2 - British Comedy Guide (original) (raw)

The arrival of a particularly talented young curate, Abi, appears to be a literal Godsend for Adam, but his initial enthusiasm at the thought of some time off is somewhat short-lived.

Abi Johnston, a talented young curate, comes to train at St Saviour'. Lay Reader Nigel's green with envy, and even Adam's initial enthusiasm at the prospect of someone to cover weekends off soon gives way to doubt in his own abilities as a priest when he realises just how brilliant she is.

When Colin decides his vicar needs cheering up, Adam inadvertently gets the chance to experience religious versus chemical ecstasy.
