KEEPING THE FAITH

A Vicar’s Life, 8.30pm, BBC2

MODERN Britain is a tough place in which to be a vicar. With budgets and congregations shrinking and faith fading, churches are struggling. This charming new series meets vicars (Nicholas Lowton, Matthew Stafford, Matthew Cashmore and Ruth Hulse, pictured) living and working in the diocese of Hereford, supporting rural communities in some of England’s most beautiful countryside.
