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.

A heatwave hits London and Adam can't sleep. He is not the only one plagued by nightmares; elderly parishioner Joan has just moved into a nursing home and is convinced her new room is haunted.

Adam is called on to justify believing in the Holy Ghost but not spooks. And there are demands at home too; Alex and Adam have a pint-sized house guest in the form of Adam's difficult goddaughter Enid.

There's a brilliant new teacher at the church school - problem is, he's an atheist.

The church school is up for religious inspection and headteacher Ellie's confident they'll pass with flying colours, thanks to inspiring new teacher Mr Feld. The only problem is, he's an atheist.

Adam clashes with Ellie, but has another battle on his hands - he's signed up for an interfaith football tournament and the St Saviour's congregation rather lacks young, fit athletes.

Financial salvation for the city vicar seems to come in the form of a city slicker.

There's a hole in the church accounts and the Archdeacon's ready to pounce. Salvation appears to come in the form of a wealthy city banker who arrives at St Saviour's to join Alcoholics Anonymous.

However, Adam's mind isn't on balancing the books - serial blagger Mick has arrived on the vicarage doorstep with a much bigger ask than the usual £20, and Adam takes a huge risk.

Nigel finally has the chance to prove he'd be a better priest than his boss.

Ambition is in the air. Pedantic Lay Reader Nigel has always believed he'd be a far better priest than Adam and finally gets the chance to prove it - or not.

The Archdeacon also has lofty ambitions for career advancement, but a surprise encounter throws a rather different light on things, and even Colin has got a new job.

Meanwhile, Adam faces questions about his own future and has a big decision to make.

Christmas. The busiest time of year for a vicar, and Adam's full of ideas for his first Advent in London. However, he soon discovers that Christmas at St Saviour's is quite different to his sleepy Suffolk parish.

He's under pressure from the Archdeacon to maximise seasonal profits, the diary's packed with unusual events and he's up at the crack of dawn every morning to cook breakfast at the homeless shelter.

Exhausted, with a permanent hangover and Midnight Mass looming, he's in no mood for a house guest - least of all Alex's cantankerous father Martin...
