Are you getting tired of hearing how brilliant ITV’s new murder-mystery programme Grantchester is yet? Thought so. Well now that everyone has calmed down a bit (it wasn’t that good was it?), we’ve had a chance to rewatch Episode One and tear it apart. Here are some of the things they got wrong:
- Firstly, as many of you noticed, the vicar in Grantchester was also the rapist in recent BBC drama Happy Valley. It took us all a little while to adjust to his new persona but once we did, national swooning over vicar Sidney Chambers (James Norton) began in earnest.
- During the railway station scenes, if you stuck your head out of the window for some air (as we did), you’d have heard a resounding chorus rising above the rooftops of “That’s not Cambridge! There’s no underpass at Cambridge station! Fake! Cheat! Where is the Upper Crust?!” For some reason they actually filmed those scenes at Horstead Keynes Railway station in West Sussex. Clearly the multiplatform metropolis that is the new Cambridge station was not adaptable to a 1950s location.
- And similarly, if you were squinting very hard through the German widow’s net curtains, and trying to work out where her house was, then you’d have been forgiven for not recognising it as the private house scenes were filmed in a variety of places including Watford, Rickmansworth, Sarratt and Kings Langley. Cambridge residents must have been reluctant to allow huge film crews to take over their living rooms, although some probably regret this now that they’ve seen the vicar is played by hunky James Norton.
- There were frequent shots of James pedalling furiously from Grantchester to Cambridge, each time culminating in a little cruise down King’s Parade, which had been marvellously transformed into a 1950s street. However, eagle eyed viewers noted that if Sidney was indeed pedalling from Grantchester then he was very much going in the wrong direction. The only thing we can think is that maybe he’d travelled from Grantchester by punt and then cycled from Bridge Street.
- Something that really got on our nerves was the incessant offering of sherry to the vicar, (“fancy a sherry vicar? Groan”) which was presumably some kind of allusion to Monty Python’s Sherry Drinking Vicar sketch but, as the programme pre-dates Monty Python by almost 20 years, it was a bit confusing. Do vicars drink sherry? Was this to do with Monty Python or was it something else? We’re not sure. If you have any information regarding the very pressing issue of vicars and sherry, we’d like to hear from you.
- Finally, Sidney’s urge to fight crime leads him to the police station where Robson Green is the Detective Inspector. There’s been a suicide (but it’s a really a murder) and Sid asks Robbo if he can check out the evidence. And why not? After an initial refusal, the inspector just hands everything over and Sid has a good look through. The urge to fight crime is strong in lots of us but, while we’ve never actually tried to, something tells us that if we were to pitch up now at Parkside police station and offer to help, we’d be told to go away.

I had to say goodbye. I just needed to say it, I think. We have a choive, don't we? We can live in the past. We can look forward. Or we can live now. Because we can't change what's happened. We can't predict the future. None of us knows what's around the corner. That's the truth of it. All we can do is keep a long view and hold a steady course.
“我得跟过去说再见了,我必须得说。我们总能做出选择,不是吗?我们可以选择活在过去,我们可以选择面向未来,我们还可以选择活在当下。因为我们改变不了业已发生的事情,我们也不能预知未来。没人知道在下一个转角会发生什么,这就是事实。我们能做的,就是把目光放长远,稳步前行。”
不再容忍长期受到家暴的妻子褪去鲜亮的妆容,将丑陋的淤青暴露在众人面前。
不能容忍背叛自己的德国女友毅然离开了牧师,头也不回。
不愿容忍军队生涯中德国被俘士兵被同伴枪杀却能全身而退毫不受良心谴责的退伍军人一个个将他的同伴们杀害。
绝不容忍恶人为非作歹而自己的探长朋友却受枪伤性命不保的牧师想方设法拯救大家,只身一人前去调查。
无法容忍牧师整日浑浑噩噩的马太太和Leonard主动提出要用一切方法帮助牧师。
无力容忍自己的战友受枪伤的痛苦折磨而含泪用自己的枪结束了战友生命的牧师,他的内心谁来拯救?
还有他的老相好,就这样出嫁了,自己根本去不了她的婚礼。
最后一集,两个女人离他而去,幸好还有Mrs M和探长他老婆。最后一集见证了德国兵、多个退伍兵和他的战友以及自杀的罪犯的死亡,其晦暗程度不言自明。好在一切都以回归结尾。友人得之不易,且行且珍惜。

剧名翻译不对,应该叫格兰切斯特小镇故事……
ITV做这种类型已经过于熟练了。
最无法接受的就是robson greene,才从心理追凶过来,他死理性派学术派天才社交无能的设定还印象深刻呢,就让我接受这样一个随性但是无能陪衬?但是总的来说,每集其实都挺有心,故事还是很值得看的,重点确实不在于推理,而在于每集结束后的反省。
这次轮到侧写顾问做差佬了,哈哈 / 推理部分实在太弱鸡,破案基本靠猜,抓人基本靠撞,可是主角主配人设都好可爱,当做下饭的小点心看还是不错的。莱纳德和狄更斯萌哭。
这剧里面除了门房老太太比较可爱,其余女角色都是婊即视感…男主角越看越生厌
感觉单数集比双数集好看,男主好帅,每集的说教有点牵强,整体风格好克制冷静,看的时候不能分神,但是娱乐元素就缺乏了。。想想少年包青天一遍探案一边煽情还有搞笑也是蛮high的
- People feel they can tell me things. - You're lucky. No-one feels they can tell me anything. 就这样,无所不知牧师和什么都打听不到警察联手了……
没什么不好,也没有很好,可以继续看看。
这剧真是完全没有推理过程呢,所有案件都是靠牧师男主猜出来的。男主真面带桃花,对着每个年轻点的女人讲话都像在调情。探长你把你儿子的中间名取成男主名字真的太糟糕了!
迷恋英国乡村美景!
布朗大叔在休假,西德尼哥哥又登场,爱死这五十年代的英伦调了!
这个剧但看设定是非常棒的,不在推理而在于从未走出战争阴影的人。但是拍出来完全是另外一回事,剧本演员还是制片,总觉得哪一点出了问题,特别是如果是看完隔壁摩斯再看这部就会有一种气提不上来的郁闷。但是第二季应该还会看吧……
每部剧都有自己的特色和专注点,这虽然也算是一部探案剧,不过更侧重对小神父心理变化表述,内心总是迷茫的思考也好像是被动的。风景美如画,喜欢这样的乡村生活,但是就算是移民却也就丢失了心灵的归属感,毕竟不是自己的家乡,只有遗憾。喜欢Robson Green透明的眼睛,有吸引人的魔力!
德国太太狂加好感值
不性感的牧师不是好神探
比起人物和感情,案件更像是点缀。
偏社會寫實、與布朗神父截然不同的神職人員探案劇:以為自己可以逃避戰時的罪孽、告別無緣的戀人,但到就算到鄉下當牧師,還是躲不掉,更慘的是就此變成信眾的垃圾桶。要不是有警探好基友,一定撐不下去!http://hou26.org/zeta/b-crime-drama.htm#ee
探长,您的高腰裤快到胸口了!
牛剑周围还能不能太平了!Robson Green演起了拖家带口的糙汉探长,和心理追凶比简直是翻身农奴把歌唱啊。Norton真是剑桥神学院毕业的(不会怀疑人生吗?)他这牧师当得真风生水起,都分不清是侦探还是言情了。相比之下Morse师徒几代简直恨不得一人发一个“孤星入命”的纸条贴脸上。
中译名真的不忍吐槽,其实就是一个Grantchester里一个牧师兼职做侦探的故事,并不是很神。自从神夏火了之后,所有的侦探中译名都要跟着神探xxx来,也挺烦的。破案的部分真的不足,充其量就是灵光一闪然后破案了,也没啥技术含量,牧师个人感情篇幅也占比一半。看过Norton和女主的很多很多很多剧了,但这是第一次get到他俩,诺顿憨憨的,女主扮相真的很美(适合复古剧,不适合现代剧)。德国太太简直是全剧亮点,毒舌吐槽简直笑死人。What the Dickens?
