After watching last night’s episode, finally decided that this is yet another series which should have ended quietly when the star, James Norton, quit the show. Wish they wouldn’t drag these series on with different leads, not that there’s anything wrong with the new vicar, just the storylines are not up to much.
Also I don’t think back in the 50’s, villagers like the housekeeper and her husband would have known what a quiche was, surely they would have called it a flan or tart.

Totally agree Calendargirl! On the subject of the quiche, "Mrs C" apparently didn't know what a quiche was; I rather suspect that the Verger, having recently been to France ( earlier episode when Mrs C thought he'd been to Bognor ) had helped Jack "Mr C" with that. Still worth watching for the dialogue if not for the plot lines though.

Of course H1954, had forgotten about Leonard’s travels! He alone makes the show worth a look still.

I must say that I, too, really like Leonard. I feel I want to mother him.

Im enjoying this series of Grantchester. Can anyone tell me if they are following the book series? I haven't read them so don't know. It's certainly not the same without James Norton, but I thought the new chap playing Will is doing ok. I love Mrs C and Leonard, they are great.

I've just watched it. It's one of my favourite programmes. It's entertaining and easy watching. I love the cast. And the storyline was very believable.
