Grantchester
Eavesdropping on the life of Sidney Chambers, a charismatic, charming, crime-fighting clergyman, and his partner in crime Police Inspector Geordie Keating, became a highlight for the audience who revelled in their on screen partnership.

Their unlikely pairing became a true friendship as each offered a different insight into the crimes they unravelled.
