ITV has announced that new period mystery drama Grantchester will begin on Monday 6 October at 9pm.
Happy Valley actor James Norton will star alongside Robson Green for the six-part series, which is set in 1950s Cambridgeshire.
Adapted from the novel, Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death by James Runcie, the series is written for ITV by Daisy Coulam, who has previously scripted EastEnders and Casualty.
Set against the backdrop of the real hamlet of Grantchester, the drama focuses upon the life of Sidney Chambers (Norton), a charismatic, charming clergyman who turns investigative vicar when one of his parishioners dies in suspicious circumstances.
Soldier Soldier star Green plays plain-speaking, over-worked police inspector, Geordie Keating, whose methodical approach to policing complements Sidney’s more intuitive techniques of coaxing information from witnesses and suspects.

I'm looking forward to watching this drama, not least because Grantchester is one of my favourite villages in the UK. It's a beautiful place.
The writer James Runcie has written an interesting article on this new drama:

Still I'm willing to give the TV adaptation ago.;-)
I saw him talking on a chat show just after Happy Valley had finished airing and he was saying that this was his next role. He was a true nasty bad man in Happy Valley so I'm interested to see what he's like tonight. Really looking forward to it
A smoking vicar, if you get my meaning.

She looks like a bitter and shrivelled old Rachel in this! lol
I've had a quick look at it (when I saw Raquel) but as with all programmes on non-BBC channels that I want to watch, I'm saving it on Tivo to watch later, so I can fast forward through all the adverts.
You might get half an hour then.
Who's Raquel?
Rachel, of course!
An hour long programme on ITV I find usually lasts around 45 minutes.
I remember on Alibi, You Tricks, which lasts about 58 minutes, was cut to 46 minutes. 12 minutes hacked off.
'Hour long' programmes on non-BBC channels are always short-changed.
I think Robson Green and James Norton work well together.
