Former priest Jonathan Strange now spends his time hunting for reminds, disillusioned with The Church, he teams up with a nurse named Jude, but finds his endeavours blocked by Canon Black.
Seven cracking episodes, what a shame The BBC had no foresight to extend it beyond seven episodes, I wouldn't perhaps say it was ahead of its time, more unusual for the early 2000's.
How sad that it's never had a commercial release, I'm sure there'd be enough interest out there for one.
Writer Andrew Marshall is perhaps better known for comedy, 2.4 Children being 'THE' sitcom I grew up with in The 90's, who'd have thought that he'd own such a seriously good series about Priests and Demons.
I enjoyed every single episode, I particularly enjoyed Incubus, that was such a grizzly, fast moving episode, but each one has something to offer. Each one could easily be adapted into a horror film today.
Some fine performances throughout, aside from the regular cast, Anna Massey, Imelda Staunton and Tom Baker were great fun, I couldn't help but adore Ian Richardson's scorn and sarcasm throughout.
Well worth seeing.
8/10.
