Grantchester is back

Anyone watching? I know it's never been quite the same since James Norton left but it's nice easy Friday night viewing. And Will got a bit raunchy tonight!

Just me watching then! Grin

I'm here. Not watched it yet but I don't find it easy to watch at all. They are both so selfish as characters and that for me overrides/spoils the story of the week. Will always gets raunchy and if he put half as much effort into his parish duties I would be happier. I will watch it but with gritted teeth at times!

I really enjoy Grantchester

Elderflower14 · 12/03/2022 20:52

I watched and enjoyed...
Wonder if Cathy will find someone else?

ImJustMadAboutSaffron · 12/03/2022 21:49

Watching on catch up. I really enjoy this but worry about it turning 'cosy' which doesn't do it for me.

Appalling sexism from the new boss at the station clicking his fingers at the secretary and saying "Coffee". Bad form even in 1959. She's not a border collie.

NellePorter · 13/03/2022 08:05

We watched it!

Roystonv · 13/03/2022 16:37

Noted the secretary was hiding her missing hand; do you think that was just accidental. Always pleased to see her doing an efficient job and being taken seriously/respected.

Roystonv · 13/03/2022 16:37

Meaning in such a man's world

I wouldn't treat my collies like that Shock

I like Grantchester but it's bloody daft really. Will really needs to learn to keep his trousers on!

I love Leonard but not sure his poetry cafe is going to take off 😂

Should have set it a few years earlier when Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath were around

I find it hilarious we're supposed to buy this vicar as being some kind of smouldering lothario. He's about as sexy as Cliff Richard.

James Norton, yes. This guy - NAH. Grin

Yes, he's basically a rather wholesome boy, isn't he!

What happened between Geordie and his wife? He appears to have left her, but I can’t recall.

Madeintowerhamlets · 19/03/2022 22:55

Yes I feel like I’ve missed something with Geordie & his wife too. I think maybe I missed the last episode of series 6. But also it feels as though they’ve missed out a whole chunk of story between Will & Maya. I don’t get how he can already be saying he loves her?! They’ve only just met! I really miss James Norton, those first few series were in another league. I’ve nothing against Will but the character of Sydney felt more genuine in terms of him being a tortured vicar & it feels like they are trying to replicate the same thing with Will but it feels inauthentic. I’m hoping Charlotte Ritchie will add something though.

I didn't recognise Charlotte Ritchie at first! That curly blonde hair. Something bound to happen with her and Will.

I've just started series 6.

Presumably the holiday camp guy will blackmail Leonard?

I find it daft that he could just walk in on them.

And the fact that they went away together & didn't have a place each.

Or maybe they did & I missed it?

ChoccyJules · 22/03/2022 09:33

I agree about Will and Maya, it was so fast, more of a fling than love, he’s behaving like a teenager. Also he never worries about the vicar aspect at all. I think they are forgetting how he would be expected to act.

Bonnie is presumably also being lined up as a love interest, although maybe it will be a buddy thing.

I also couldn’t remember how Geordie got to be living at the vicarage, I can’t recall if Cathy kicked him out?

Cathy chucked him out when he got pissed and made a fool of himself at an event last season.
ChoccyJules · 24/03/2022 15:51

Oh yes, thanks, that rings a bell

MissMarpleRocks · 25/03/2022 19:02

Finding that it’s lost it’s charm for me. Used to look forward to it in a Death in Paradise sort of way. Now not so much or at all really.

Tonight's was rather different and quite thought provoking. Pretty sure Will is heading for a relationship with Barbara from CTM, though.

I thought Geordie had some sort of dalliance with a work colleague and his wife found out and kicked him out 🤷🏻‍♀️

We call it 'soapy' but I agree
