Grantchester - Season 5

It's Spring Ball season, which is proving to be less ‘dinner and dancing' and more ‘disturbing the peace'. When a student from a prestigious all-female college is found dead, Will and Geordie must infiltrate the murky world of campus politics and university societies to find the killer.

Will and Leonard witness a deadly and deliberate hit-and-run in Grantchester. Geordie traces the car to a pair of decidedly dysfunctional brothers whose house lies far off the beaten path. The victim's wife, his employee and the two brothers are all damaged characters caught in a web of lies and betrayals, and it's not just secrets that are hiding within the brothers' grounds.

After a bumpy start to their relationship, Will and journalist Ellie go on their first date with a trip to the ‘flicks'. But a scream from the projection booth cuts the romance short as they discover a brutal murder has taken place within the cinema.

When a young man is found dead and stark naked out on the Fens, Will and Geordie discover ties to a Cambridge research project experimenting with mind altering drugs. 

As the case gets murkier, Will's own feelings of guilt about his father's death and his conflicted feelings about Ellie start to take their toll. Is he prepared to delve deep within himself to find the answers? With everything else in his life seemingly in the pits, he'll need the help of his friends to figure this one out.

Similarly, the Keatings face one of their toughest decisions yet, after a catastrophically awkward dinner party leaves more than just the baked alaska burnt around the edges. Will Cathy finally tell Geordie the truth about her mother?

And with the Chapman feud showing no sign of relenting, Leonard must try to convince Mrs C that there's good in the world, but will the most wilful woman in the parish ever come round?

As Geordie and Will head to a charity boxing match at Vic's gym, both men put on a brave face and hide the worries haunting them both. Geordie's hoping for a ‘manly' night at the fight, with Jack and Leonard joining in the fun: an escape from the problems at home and the strain of the job. And Will revels in the night as well, this place giving him the purpose he so desperately needs...

It's a full house at the gym as Matthew and Luke face off in the ring, seemingly proving Vic's belief that given a second chance, anyone can turn their life around. But after a match takes an unexpected twist, Will wonders if he's misjudged Matthew all along... 

Meanwhile Leonard tries to reunite the warring Chapmans, who seem determined never to see eye-to-eye again.

When a woman is found dead, laid out in the shape of a crucifix on Jesus Green, Will and Geordie discover the ring on her finger proves she was married to God – and a former nun at an oppressive convent. And as Geordie and Larry both agree - there's nothing scarier than a nun...
