Grantchester final series starts tonight - 11 January 2024 9pm ITV

[IwantToRetire]

I didn't even know this series was still being made.

And looking at the synopsis of last series think I am more than a bit behind.

But just thought I would post for anyone interested who hadn't realised the last series begins tonight.

I like Grantchester, it's easy watching, and I think I am up to date- but I'm confused by the description of the episode on my series link which seems to refer to the first episode of series 6, and this should be series 8 (?) .

But- as for it being the final series

SPOILERS**

for anyone who hasn't seen

Robson Green was seen filming with Rishi Nair, (used to be in Hollyoaks) who takes over as the new Vicar when the actor who plays Will leaves. I think I read he's introduced in the 9th series.

I like it too, just catching up now.

I watched. Ds2 is now watching as there is a deaf character in the first episode.
I had a lovely visit to Grantchester for my birthday in 2016. My DP was terminally ill and it was my first birthday that we were together. My boss gave me time off work to go. Such happy memories. We had tea in Rupert Brookes famous tea room. Saw where he lived and Jeffery Archer now lives and of course visited the church. We stayed at the now closed Anstey Hall.

I'd completely forgotten about the Bonnie character ! And what a weird end to that first episode!

Looking like the end of his biking career, then. Although he seemed to have lost the lovely BSA Gold Star (? I'm not certain, but think so) in favour of, well, something else I didn't get a real look at.

Watched first episode. For me it seems to have lost its way a bit. Not sure I’ll watch any more.

Wonder why Bonnie appears so intermittently. She's hardly been seen! And poor Will needed her support!

It’s such a depressing watch! I think Will has done a disappearing act rather than taken his own life.

I wonder if there was a clash over filming schedules, with this and the last series of 'Ghosts'?

Maybe Charlotte Ritchie used the same baby bump for both .

Well, it's over. Loved the happy endings, however improbable!

Yes I enjoyed that. Good happy ending. Is that the last they are making as that’s what it seemed like?

New series next year apparently, with new vicar, Rishi Nair, and looks as if Geordie is definitely staying!
