Rev Season Three Broadcast Window Confirmed

Pregnancy, homosexual marriage and more go under the radar as the Tom Hollander sitcom returns...
The BBC have this week confirmed a broadcast window for the third season of their situation comedy Rev. Starring Tom Hollander, Olivia Colman and Hugh Bonneville, the series is based around a modern Anglican reverend who must come face-to-face with a number of contemporary religious issues which threaten to destabilize the very foundations of his church-going community's beliefs.

In all honesty, Rev's continued omission from BBC One's programming strikes us as a bemusing decision from the studio, particularly given the number of renowned stars who feature amongst its charming cast ensemble. Perhaps it's the dense subject matter of the programme, yet that didn't stop The Vicar of Dibley or Twenty Twelve from gracing their flagship channel, nor are the infinitely inferior Mrs Brown's Boys or Outnumbered restrained from ascension by their own occasional forays into controversial territory. Whatever the reason, the aforementioned restriction is a small tragedy, and shouldn't deter anyone seeking a worthy new sitcom to fill their time from following the show when it re-emerges.

Rev returns to BBC Two with six new episodes in March.
