This witty and entertaining series set in 1950 starred Arthur Lowe, in one of his few major television roles after Dad's Army. When newly-ordained priest Neil Boyd (Daniel Abineri) arrives at the parish of St. Jude's he realises that no amount of training could have prepared him for Father Duddleswell. His eccentric new mentor insists that a priest needs the reserve and resourcefulness of a poker-player, as well as the usual virtues of patience, love and charity.
