Description
A co-production of Kudos and MASTERPIECE
For the Vicar of Grantchester, the beautiful small village just outside Cambridge, life is always pretty quiet. Or at least, it was – right up until the moment that murder came his way.
Series 9 of the hit crime drama finds the crime-solving duos investigating clandestine circus performers and deceitful archaeologists, whilst exploring gender politics in the workplace and the meaning of faith in the community. As mysterious clues build to an explosive finale, this series is set to be the biggest and boldest yet.
It’s 1962 and there’s a real joy de vivre in the air in Grantchester. Alphy loves his new parish and he loves feeling part of a family because, in truth, it’s something he’s never had before.
Season 10 will let us into the secrets Alphy holds so close to his heart. Secrets that have defined him. No one knows who Alphy really is, not even his best friend Geordie. But all of that is about to change, as Alphy’s past catches up with him, and his history comes to light. But what will Alphy do when he realises Geordie holds the answer to his past: the question is, is Alphy ready to face it?
