Further details
Reverend 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; there's a rumour going round that the local church school is about to get a great Ofsted report. Faced with a bunch of hypocritical parents desperately vying for his attention in the hope he'll recommend their child, Adam is tempted to trade a school place for the expensive restoration of a broken stained-glass window.
Alexander Armstrong guest stars as local MP Patrick Yam, who suddenly starts attending church when a rumour circulates that Ellie's school is about to receive a good Ofsted report. Eager to put himself ahead of the pack of other pushy parents vying for church school places, Patrick makes Adam a tempting offer.
