Expect some pearl-clutching tabloid outrage about this. Bernadette Davis's comedy introduces a quartet of girls in their mid-teens who swear, have sex and regularly countermand their mothers and fathers! Yet while parents of girls approaching that age may well blanch, there's some depth to lead character Viva (Adelayo Adedayo), who's rebelling against her dad (Colin Salmon) because he's seeing her school football coach (Dolly Wells).

The script mixes deft set pieces with cheap laughs - the mute girl in a burqa made me uncomfortable - but the direction, by Adam Miller, is consistently great: plenty of swift visual gags and a very funny, lairy girls' football match filmed in slow motion.

Tom Hollander's Adam Smallbone is such a lovable creation, I'm starting to wish he could find a life outside of this series where, by definition, he's slightly hemmed in by storylines about the business of being an inner-city vicar.

Tonight's episode is written by Coronation Street scribe Jonathan Harvey, and it would have been an ideal opportunity for him to bundle dinky little Adam into a largish picnic hamper and take him back up the M6 to practice vicaring on the streets of Weatherfield.

Tonight sees Adam attempting to spread his wings a little by flirting with the smoky trappings of Roman Catholicism - or, in the words of Nigel his curate, "going a little bit Abramovich".

The occasion is the wedding of a chap called Leon (Colin Salmon) who Adam wants as his new best friend. Lord knows, he's in need of one of them.
