Grantchester.

Nice to see some Cambridgeshire countryside on the telly for a change.

I was apprehensive as I have really enjoyed the books, but not disappointed!

We both enjoyed it too.

lona yes we liked it too. Funny no one mentions the once-upon-a-time heartthrob, Robson Green

A pleasant programme I thought- nice views of Cambridge which we love- not much of a plot but a restful hour with the vicar.

Didn't spot this. Which channel was it on?

annoIt was on ITV at 9pm, very easy on the eye, and enjoyable.

Grannyknot I watched it despite Robson Green, but he was ok really!

That dishy vicar is the same actor who played the nasty criminal in Happy Valley. Good actor.

Did you find that disconcerting Katy? I did at first. I couldn't get the dreadful character he played in HV out of my mind,but I enjoyed the programme and was pleased the murder was resolved , having thought it was going to be a 6 week mystery

Atqui - Yes. He was such a horrible character in Happy Valley it was a bit strange seeing him in this. He is very good.

Very enjoyable

I thought it was unbelievable and tedious. I hadn't realised the vicar character was the awful bloke in Happy Valley - what a difference.]

We enjoyed it nice bit of humour with a decent story not to much blood & guts and no bad language a good light change.

I agree with Eloethan, I'm afraid. As the baddie in Happy Valley James Norton was much more convincing.

I enjoyed it too. Agree the vicar is dishy, but could never understand Robson Green being a heartthrob!

Did people exclaim, 'Christ on a bike' in the fifties?

No - wasn't that impressed, really. shysal - I said to DH last night that Robson Green hadn't worn very well - he did used to be a handsome young chap when in Soldier, Soldier!

I enjoyed it and, as I didn't watch Happy Valley, I can think of the vicar only as a 'goodie'. I think the characters will develop as it goes along.

I haven't read the books but I quite enjoyed the programme. I thought it was a cross between Father Brown and Father Dowling. I will watch again and see how the characters develop.

The characters are really taking shape now. Mrs. Maguire is a dead ringer for Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted (apart from the accent) and the gay curate is a joy.

Loving it!

Yes, it's getting better isn't it?

The plots are immaterial to me, I just gaze in wonder but I do wish they'd lay off the alcohol a bit!

Thanks for pointing out that the vicar was the baddie in "Happy Valley". I knew there was a reason I didn't like him! What a terrible person he was then. I can`t forgive him for beating up Sarah Lancashire as well as the other appalling stuff he did. He was at some risk taking on a character like that and needed a radical change but I still cant quite see him as a vicar! Its pleasant enough viewing though. I`ve read all the books but somehow seeing the stories performed is quite different.
