New BBC2 sitcom Rev started strongly on Monday, with just over 2 million viewers in unofficial overnights marking a higher than average turnout for the channel at that time.

Starring Tom Hollander, who created the series with writer James Wood, the series also stars actress Olivia Colman as vicar’s wife Alex. A familiar TV face through her appearances on That Mitchell and Webb Look, Look Around You, Peep Show and Beautiful People, Colman returned to the stage last year in the National Theatre’s England People Very Nice. She will soon be seen in feature film Tryannosaur, written and directed by fellow actor Paddy Considine.
