Grantchester.

Mrs Maguire is a real old "battle axe" albeit with a heart of gold (deeply buried). She's Raquel (or however you would spell it) from Fools and Horses. You never see her these days and yet there are so many other actors of that generation that keep getting trotted out. I wonder why - she's a good actress.

I love it. It's so gentle. I agree the plot is almost superfluous

It's so much better than the book! I didn't think the characters came alive in the book at all. Sidney is a dish but I did notice his dark hair line under the blonde. No vicar would have dyed his hair in those days.

I found it rather dull and formulaic. Anything 1950s is now treated like costume drama. Being old enough to remember the 1950s, 1950s this aint.

Oh but he is really lovely ......

Strange thing - I don't find him in the least attractive or good looking.

Anya I am with you, but most men labelled as heart throbs leave me cold - and always have done.

Neither do I Anya. He looks like a slobbery kisser to me.

Not my type at all, either!

Easy-watching (is there such a thing?)
R.T. says he was recording both programmes at the same time, he gets my vote just for being able to do that!

Glad to know it's not just me

Really enjoying this series and the dishy vicar definitely helps!

Dishy vicar..but I'm struggling to hear everyone..is it just me?

I also think it's tedious and unbelievable. The vicar is very un-attractive with Mick Jagger lips.The housekeeper is a joke.
Father Brown was a much better programme.

Father Ted was even better!

Amen to that!

I have been trying to like this for long enough now and gave up on Monday after 10minutes. The relationship between the two men is just not right and the agonised looks between the vicar and his ex are wearing in the extreme.I was so looking forward to another Father Brown,which in my opinion was wasted as daytime TV and deserved a prime time slot.

I'm disappointed, but I have to agree that it is very unrealistic in many ways.
Have they tried to sex it up a bit or was it written like this originally?
I still like him though

I found the last episode boring. Without the housekeeper and the gay curate it would have no spark at all. Father Ted Brown was so much better.

I enjoyed the books and agree that they seem to have "sexed it up a bit" although the attraction and odd relationship with Amanda was always there. I think its the actor himself I don't like. The supporting cast are fine but he`s just not right somehow. Disappointing.
Re Father Ted its a bit disconcerting to find Mrs Doyle in Eastenders
