Grantchester.

I agree. The relationship between Leonard and Mrs. C was one of the best bits about Grantchester.

It's wandered off piste.

Lost interest!

I was so disappointed tonight. What are they doing to Leonard? What has happened to Mrs C’s husband? They need to finish at this episode.

This is the penultimate series. They have already filmed the final one so it’s finished now. I agree, it’s getting more ridiculous and unbelievable by the week.

I guessed as soon as it started last night that the home would be where Alphy had been brought up.

No doubt the rest of this series and the next will be about tracing his mum.

I cannot warm to Alphy. He has no charisma and his relationship with Geordie seems forced.
I find myself not caring about his life or where he came from
Will was my favourite.

Mrs C has a husband and a large house as far as I remember but both are sadly neglected.
It really is quite ridiculous now.

She hasn't noticed that he has taken on a new, younger, more glamorous housekeeper in her absence
(I wrote that bit into the script.)

Mrs C has a husband and a large house as far as I remember but both are sadly neglected.

And now she is going into the fashion business with Cathy Keating because she has a business brain. 😂😂
In other words, Jack’s wallet is going to be raided again and will they use the premises abandoned by Leonard and Daniel when they lost interest in the café that Jack financed?

Perhaps they should start a hairdressing salon, and Cathy’s wig could be the first victim.

I think the series should have finished when the lovely James Norton left.

Calendargirl I agree, I watched this program once after James Norton left and it didn’t seem the same, so I haven’t watched it since.

I watched it mainly because James Norton was in it. I also like Robson Green.

I watched the series with the second vicar. I can't remember his name. It was OK but not the same without James Norton to swoon over.

I haven't bothered with the series with the third vicar.

Not so keen on James Norton but I did like Tom Brittney as Will Davenport.

What puzzles me is how do any of them find the time to do their day jobs?

This is more entertaining than the programme!

I lost interest after half of the first episode this time around and I shan't watch any of the rest of the series.

I will stay faithful to the series until it finishes next year. I agree that it's not as gripping as it was (especially the James Norton series!) but I find it a comforting, easy watch, especially compared with the violence in so many other shows (soaps included!) Speaking of soaps, I'm so happy that I'm able to watch each days ITV soaps on ITVX during the morning, so my evening is less stressed.

Never really watched it before but watched the first episode of this series and have watched each week and enjoyed them. Why have I never had a vicar who looks like that?

Oh! You have to pay, sorry.
How annoying.

Here's another one. We are not alone, it seems

I still love it personally, although I agree that James Norton was the best vicar. It’s a gentle crime drama which makes a refreshing change from the fast paced thriller types. I am also enjoying After The Flood. In my opinion ITV have really stepped up with the drama over the last couple of years.

I haven't watched it for years. I used to like it when James Norton was in it and the next guy, I think I stopped watching it when the second vicar was in it, although I did watch some with him in it. I'm not quite sure why I stopped watching it. I suppose because there's so many other things to watch. I've got Netflix and Amazon Prime. There's a lot of free channels too. U is good. I like the Chelsea detective on there and I've watched all episodes.
