Rev.. Image shows from L to R: Ellie Pattman (Lucy Liemann), Matthew Feld (Adrian Bower). Copyright: Big Talk Productions.

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.
