I am really rather looking forward to seeing what this new series - Rev, starring Tom Hollander as in inner city vicar - is like, particularly after reading a longer piece on it in the Church Times (which, irritatingly, isn't available online). It sounds as if they've really done their research and it will have a recognisable relationship to reality, for a start, which already gives it a head start over "Vicar of Dibley" or "All Gas and Gaiters"... (For a start, they bothered to work out the vicar's churchmanship - liberal, middle of the road, would-like-to-be-higher-but-the-parish-won't-have-it - which is fairly fundamental to any cleric's identity, but I don't get the impression anyone considered that in Dibley, and All Gas and Gaiters is mostly office politics anyway).
