T2 WHATS UP! July 10 - 16, 2022 TV FEATURE BY SARAH PASSINGHAM TV Media D ecades of British crime dramas set in idyllic country towns have taught us that there is usually something dark and mysterious hiding, even in quiet corners like County Cam- bridgeshire. The highly antici- pated new season of "Grantches- ter" makes its North American premiere Sunday, July 10, on PBS. Make sure to check your lo- cal listings for more detailed viewing information. If you, like PBS, are no strang- er to a period drama, then you may already know that "Grantchester," set in the town for which it's named, depicts a series of investigations led by DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green, "Strike Back") and his unlikely crime-solving partners during the 1950s. The first four seasons of "Grantchester" saw Keating team up with local vicar Sidney Chambers, played by James Nor- ton ("Happy Valley"), until he fell in love with a woman and, having lost faith in the church, chose to immigrate to America to be with her. His absence was filled in Season 4 when the se- ries introduced the new vicar in town, Rev. William Davenport, portrayed by Tom Brittney ("UnREAL"). Davenport was quickly swept up in Keating's proceedings and soon became his new right-hand man when local crimes took place. The pair of investigators can't do it all alone, though, as they would be nowhere without the help of the dutiful Mrs. Sylvia Chapman, played by "Unforgot- ten" star Tessa Peake-Jones. Mrs. Chapman keeps the church in good order while remaining deeply engrained in the fabric of her community. The eagerly anticipated sev- enth season of "Grantchester" sees the town celebrate the sum- mer of 1959 with, according to the PBS website, "wedding sea- son in full swing." Certainly, with romance in the summer- time air, there is bound to be some drama brewing about the town. After bringing memorable guest characters to life in series like "Outlander" and "The Five," Brittney was more than ready for a leading role when it came time for "Grantchester" to wel- come a new vicar. Brittney's Davenport, who makes a strong impression in his new home by driving a motorbike and insist- ing his parishioners call him "Will," immediately butts heads with Keating over his investiga- tive process, but they quickly find their rhythm and are able to get to the bottom of the many murders in Grantchester. Every small town ruffles its feathers when someone new rolls in, and "Grantchester" is no exception. With its latest arrival, Davenport, fully settled in, it's time for Grantchester to wel- come another new face. Best known for her performances in BBC sitcom "Ghosts" and period drama "Call the Midwife," Char- lotte Ritchie joins the "Grantchester" cast as Bonnie, a young woman who becomes close with Rev. Davenport this season.
