\n\t\u201cGrantchester\u201d begins its final season on June 14, with crime-solving vicars who seem to face far too many murders for one small British village. Variety<\/em> spoke with the core cast members about staying with the same sharply written, witty and emotional show for 11 seasons, spanning the prim 1950s to the swinging \u201860s. It may be known as \u201cGranny Chester\u201d for its soothing country scenery and delicate balance of humor, crime and pathos, but that doesn\u2019t stop the show from confronting a host of serious issues.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show \u2014 which premiered in 2014 and will end with the 11th season \u2014 kicks off not that long after World War II. Britain is still deeply traditional, and a village like Grantchester is barely affected by the events of the outside world. Men are the stoic providers, women are mothers or prospective brides and vicars are basically saintly, even if they do like a wee tipple now and then. But as the series progresses into the 1960s, the good folk of Grantchester confront societal upheaval on a whole new level. James Muncie, the author of the book series \u201cGrantchester\u201d is based on, calls it \u201ca social history of Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVicars attracted to other men, non-white vicars, civil rights struggles, sex workers, rock \u2018n\u2019 roll and more \u2014 now, it\u2019s all part of life for the residents of this Cambridge-area village. Against a backdrop of bucolic village fairs and secret romances, the characters are the constants \u2014 grouchy police officer Geordie (Robson Green), who begrudgingly becomes more tolerant; Tessa Peake-Jones\u2019 Mrs. Maguire (later Chapman), the housekeeper who spreads her wings as she too embraces a changing society; Leonard Finch (Al Weaver), the fledgling minister who goes through massive life changes as he attempts to come to terms with his sexuality in a repressed era; and of course the three central vicars.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trio of vicars starts with James Norton as Sidney Chambers, the doe-eyed clergyman with a taste for cool jazz and clever women. The series, which runs on ITV in Britain and PBS \u201cMasterpiece\u201d in the U.S., continues with Will Davenport (Tom Brittney), the affable clergyman hiding a difficult past, and then Archie (Rishi Nair), the handsome but conflicted vicar of Indian heritage who felt he was destined to join the church after being abandoned on the doorstep of a chapel. All three vicars show a passion not just for ministering to their flock but for helping Geordie solve an unending series of murders and crimes of passion in the sleepy village of Grantchester and the worldly nearby city of Cambridge.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe funny thing about chatting at length with all the principals of \u201cGrantchester\u201d is how little of the conversation revolves around gruesome stabbings or diabolical poisonings. Perhaps that\u2019s because solving the crime isn\u2019t entirely the raison d\u2019\u00eatre behind \u201cGrantchester.\u201d Nearly every murder is solved by the end of the episode, but despite the unusual twist of having the village vicar team up with the police, the real action comes from the relationships among the characters. It turns out the pursuit of justice is secondary to the quest for creating an intentional family, even if some of the family members are harder to get along with than others.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show\u2019s creator Daisy Coulam, Green, Nair, Weaver and Peake-Jones looked back at the high points of being on the same show for so long \u2014 and what\u2019s in store for the final season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tCreator Daisy Coulam on how it started\t<\/h4>\n

\nLongtime television writer Daisy Coulam went on to create \u201cDeadwater Fell\u201d after launching \u201cGrantchester\u201d with producers including Emma Kingsman-Lloyd. But \u201cGrantchester\u201d is her longest stint on a show to date.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tI read James Runcie\u2019s book, the first one, on a train journey, and I could just picture it. The characters were so vivid, and the two central characters, Geordie and Sidney, were so clear to me. He\u2019d set it out very cleverly in six chapters. It was like six episodes, bang. I made more of the love story that he had in there, and I made Leonard a regular. I got to spin a bigger web.<\/p>\n

\n\tI think people assume it\u2019s going to be cozy and not ask difficult questions, and we always try to ask difficult questions, and make it a bit spikier.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tHow they got cast\t<\/h4>\n

\nRishi Nair played a lawyer in hundreds of episodes of soap opera \u201cHollyoaks\u201d before taking on a character that came as a surprise to many of the Grantchester villagers: a vicar of South Asian heritage.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\nRishi Nair:<\/strong> I got a self-tape from my agent at the time, and it was obviously for \u201cGrantchester.\u201d I didn\u2019t know it was actually for the lead. Maybe that was kind of a blessing in disguise, because it didn\u2019t put so much pressure on it being the lead character.<\/p>\n

\n\tBetween my first and second audition, I started to watch a bit of \u201cGrantchester.\u201d I watched about 10 minutes of it and I thought \u201cI shouldn\u2019t be watching this.\u201d I turned it off and decided to just go with my instincts of who I thought the character was, and have the trust in the directors and the producers to guide me and steer me.<\/p>\n

\nThere\u2019s something about Robson Green that says, \u201cproblem solver\u201d: He\u2019s played two doctors, in \u201cWire in the Blood\u201d and \u201cReckless,\u201d and solves more crimes in the upcoming \u201cThe Northumbria Mysteries.\u201d But before he was cast in \u201cGrantchester,\u201d he was facing a bit of a crisis.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nRobson Green:<\/strong> I was never meant to be in this show. I was doing another show and an actor I was working with in Thailand had an accident. And as a result, the show I was in had to cancel. It was an important time for me, because I was struggling economically. I went to my agent and said, \u201cI\u2019ll do anything. I\u2019ll do an advert that would embarrass my artistic career and creative career. I just need the money.\u201d He sent me two dramas. One was called \u201cCucumbers,\u201d written by the wonderful Russell T Davies, and the other was \u201cGrantchester.\u201d I read \u201cGrantchester\u201d first, and as I got to the 11th page, I went, \u201cThis is really lovely.\u201d It has an underbelly of something uncomfortable and serious and edgy. And it\u2019s got a wonderful hybrid of pathos and levity.<\/p>\n

\n\tWithin six hours in Thailand, on Skype, I read for Geordie Keating. Then I got on an airplane, very, very quickly. Get off there, go to costume, put on the brown suit \u2014 a complete plagiarism of Peter Falk out of \u201cColumbo.\u201d Very early on I realized that this was something that had longevity in terms of its relationships, and characters an audience would care about and engage with.<\/p>\n

\n\tI never knew that I would wear that same brown suit in every scene, in every episode for 11 years, and finally, in Season 11, you see me in a different costume.<\/p>\n

\nBefore \u201cGrantchester,\u201d Tessa Peake-Jones was known for the comedy series \u201cOnly Fools and Horses.\u201d The news of her role in \u201cGrantchester\u201d came during a time of crisis, but she calls it her \u201cparting gift\u201d to her late mother.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nTessa Peake-Jones: <\/strong>My agent phoned me, and I knew nothing about \u201cGrantchester.\u201d It was with an offer to play Mrs. Chapman. My mum was very poorly, and I\u2019d been told she got about 24 hours to live. And my agent rang and said, \u201cYou sound odd.\u201d And I said, \u201cWell, I\u2019ve just come back from visiting my mom in the hospice.\u201d And she said, \u201cWell, sit down, because I can\u2019t make that better. But there is some good news.\u201d My mum died the next day. My mum had been very influential in my entire career. It was like she\u2019d left me this parting gift. So when I started the program, I was dealing with that side of my life, but I was also very excited, because none of us knew how it was going to work out. We just knew we felt it was a really interesting drama. We hoped the public would like it. And here we are, 11 years later!<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen I first read the scripts, I just thought, \u201cFor once, I\u2019m being cast as somebody very grumpy and very unlike myself.\u201d She never smiles \u2014 I\u2019ve come to cherish all those things about Mrs. Chapman. So it felt to me like a really exciting adventure to play her.<\/p>\n

\nAl Weaver, a frequent British television actor, plays Leonard Finch, a curate who moves to Grantchester to assist James Norton\u2019s vicar character Sidney Chambers. Weaver\u2019s character has a dramatic arc that includes coming to terms with his homosexuality, a stint in prison, and later, a committed relationship.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nAl Weaver:<\/strong> I remember Leonard was described as having this mustache, and he was quite an oddball. I don\u2019t think he really knew what he was at the time. He was just confused and kind of an outsider. He was very passionate about the church, and very kind of scatty and nervous. As the show grew and progressed, and we really explored his character, he became aware of that, and what society thought about it. It\u2019s great to play, because it can be quite theatrical. It was all a case of finding that level. <\/p>\n

\n\tHe\u2019s obsessed with books. He\u2019s not good with people. All those things kind of dictate where you go with it. I remember they cut my hair and put it on this mustache, and I just thought, I\u2019m going to get fired. I was like, this is ridiculous.<\/p>\n

\n\tThey took me down to set where Robson and James were filming. I hadn\u2019t filmed yet, and I walked in and Emma and Harry [Bradbeer] were like, \u201cOh my God. We love it.\u201d Then I put the suit on, so every time I do that, as soon as I do the hair and put the costume on, it just all works.<\/p>\n

\nAlways revolving around a murder, the show has incorporated dramatic moments from weddings to births to prison and prejudice. Here, cast members look back at a few favorite moments over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nRobson Green:<\/strong> In Season 2, me and James Norton had to swim in the river Cam. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen James Norton with his shirt off. He\u2019s a physical god, an Athenian temple. I couldn\u2019t compete, but I try, so I spent half the rehearsal process and half the prep doing 100 press ups every morning, trying to compete with the physique of James Norton and failing. He tried to push me in the river just before we were filming, thinking it would be funny. I turned in a certain way, and he ended up in the water, but he slipped really awkwardly and we thought he broke his leg. So we hadn\u2019t even started filming, and \u201cI was thinking, Oh my God, I\u2019ve just broken the leg of the most popular actor in Britain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tI think the season that really stood out for me was 6 \u2014 and 7 was the jailing of Leonard, which was really edgy.<\/p>\n

\nRishi Nair:<\/strong> When you film TV, you shoot out of order, but actually, my very first scene on screen was the first scene that I filmed, and it was me punching Robson in the face, which was super intimidating. I remember walking onto set thinking, please don\u2019t punch Robson in the face for real, because that\u2019s not going to be a good start to this. But I really enjoyed that.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd then in Season 10, the orphanage, I really enjoyed that as well, because it was quite a rogue episode. It was kind of different from what \u201cGrantchester\u201d normally is. It was a little bit horror-esque. I love horror movies, so when I was reading this in the script, I was thinking, \u201cThis is amazing \u2014 this is so different.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOn solving murders\t<\/h4>\n

\nDaisy Coulam: <\/strong>The more you interrogate the premise, the more nothing stands up. You\u2019ve got a vicar in an interview room \u2014 none of this would happen. Suspend your disbelief a little bit, and once you do, it\u2019s quite easy to think that there\u2019s a murder every week that a vicar happens upon.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is it that makes a vicar a good detective? They both solve mysteries in a way; that\u2019s the heart of what they do. Asking big questions about the human condition. As Robson always says, people talk to the vicar because they don\u2019t talk to policemen. Sometimes he has to make the point that Robson is questioning people too hard. He needs to have a gentler approach with them.<\/p>\n

\nRobson Green: <\/strong>You can call it a detective show because of the 78 murders, but I haven\u2019t solved any of them. Geordie Keating does not solve the crime. He accuses people of committing the crime. It\u2019s always the vicar who solves the crime.<\/p>\n

\n\tNobody realizes that they kind of solve it together, but the person who works it out in the end, who gets the light bulb moment, is always the vicar. So I begged them in the final season, could I solve one? And I do. I\u2019m not going to tell the episode, but I solve one on my own.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThe core characters\t<\/h4>\n

\nEach character came into their own during the series, sometimes in emotionally painful ways. Over 11 seasons, they portrayed an entire social history of mid-century Britain while always staying true to their chosen family, the cast explained.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nGeordie Keating, Grantchester\u2019s detective inspector:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robson Green:<\/strong> This is a man who\u2019s a product of World War II, who was a prisoner of war in Burma. So he\u2019s gone through an incredibly traumatic event in his life. He fought a war for the freedom of British people and British values. He is very much working class, and views people who travel through life with entitled ease as the enemy. If you watched Seasons 1, 2 or 3, I would refer to the character Leonard as a pansy, and that is a really derogatory term for homosexuals of its time.<\/p>\n

\n\tSo that aspect of him being stuck with his values was very apparent in the first three seasons, but throughout the series, the notion of family comes with it. Not just his wife, Cathy, and his four children, but the family of \u201cGrantchester\u201d is important \u2014 and that he slowly realizes that each of them depend on one another. He was quite intolerant to start with. I think that\u2019s what made him grumpy. He thought that people who do bad things in their life will always do bad things in their life. So that journey from being an embittered, grumpy, individual turns into something incredibly progressive, beautiful and quite life-affirming.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam:<\/strong> Geordie is a product of his time, sort of the old England. He does have some questionable views, but I think that\u2019s realistic, and he has evolved as a character. His friendship with the vicars has given him a different perspective on life. It always comes down to that friendship. I\u2019m so obsessed with getting them to say they love each other. Emma\u2019s like, \u201cNo, they wouldn\u2019t have said that.\u201d But I\u2019m like, \u201cCome on, it is a love story, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMrs. Maguire and later Chapman, the vicars\u2019 housekeeper<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tessa Peake-Jones:<\/strong> All the relationships on the show have been absolutely joyful. You will hear this from everybody you talk to. It\u2019s like a proper family. But I think for her and Leonard, I don\u2019t think she was at all sure about it. He had a mustache in the first couple of episodes, and that she just did not like. Then, of course, she\u2019s had to come to terms with the fact that he was a homosexual, and because of her religion, because of her lack of experience, she really didn\u2019t know what that meant.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe\u2019s opened her mind. Before she got married, she was Mrs. Maguire. We used to call ourselves Leonard and Maguire. And we said, can\u2019t we have a spinoff series? Because they get on so well. He\u2019s like her son. I think she\u2019s still very sad about the fact that he\u2019s not a vicar anymore. And she\u2019s very happy that he\u2019s with Daniel. She feels that he\u2019s got Leonard\u2019s best interests at heart. Al Weaver, in real life, was a student that I mentored when he was at Guildhall drama school. So I always say, and he gets very bored with it, that I\u2019ve taught him everything he knows.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe all were very aware that in the first season, they were still coming out from the Second World War. Mrs. Chapman\u2019s husband had gone to war and never came back. We used to talk about the fact that rationing would still be in place, and not knowing if you\u2019re going to live or die, and air raids \u2014 all that stuff.<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the beginning of this series, I think she was probably quite racist too. Now, of course, having Alphy as the vicar has opened her mind. If you\u2019d looked at her in Season 1, she\u2019d have found that very hard, but because of these younger people around her \u2014 young people get your minds open more. She\u2019s learning from all of them, and particularly Alphy, about a whole culture that she had no idea about.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam: <\/strong>As the world is broadening for women, it\u2019s getting bigger and bigger for Mrs. C. Her life was very small, and now she\u2019s a working woman, and she has money, and Jack has money, and she\u2019s kind of gone up in the world. But she still loves nothing more than to boss her boys around and wear her apron, and tell everyone off. Mrs. C is a very easy character to write, actually, because she\u2019s just very grumpy and what\u2019s amazing is that Tessa is a softy, she\u2019s the kindest lady you\u2019ll ever meet, the smiliest, and then she puts on the face, and you\u2019re like, \u201cOh, Mrs. C!\u201d<\/p>\n

\nLeonard Finch, the curate (vicar\u2019s assistant)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAl Weaver: <\/strong>His mother had died early. And his father was a drunk and not a nice person. There was a really lovely actor named Rory Fleck Byrne, whose character was having a secret affair with another male character. That story was kind of the catalyst for Leonard. As he became aware of those feelings in himself, he hated himself. The church said, God is against it, and it\u2019s a sin. But James\u2019 character, Sidney, was always welcoming of him. There was an episode where he tried to commit suicide and kind of failed, and he was just like, I can\u2019t even do this. And Sidney\u2019s like, \u201cGod loves you. You\u2019re not that.\u201d So there\u2019s all these beautiful messages coming from within the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tI remember my late grandma, she used to watch the show, and she loved it. And she said, \u201cWe all knew those people, those men who were really good friends, or maybe they were roommates and shared a house, but it was never talked about. We knew, but we never talked about it.\u201d It was so sad, because they just couldn\u2019t be themselves.<\/p>\n

\n\tEverything changes. Attitudes change. You see it with women at work, and Cathy and Tessa opening a fashion shop. Women are really starting to find their voice. It\u2019s still that patriarchal society, but women are finding the courage to stand up to these things now.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s one of the great things the show\u2019s done over the years. It reflects society, good and bad. Hope is always a big one, hope and courage. If I had the same courage as Leonard, I think my life would be different. I think it would get more things done \u2014 he just doesn\u2019t let things stop him, even though he\u2019s scared.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam:<\/strong> Leonard\u2019s big story has always been about his sexuality, and trying to play that in a real way, because quite a lot of these characters are desperate and lonely, and then they find their place in this world. For him, he couldn\u2019t express who he was. He almost got married to a woman, and he met this guy, Daniel. It\u2019s about identity and becoming yourself for all the characters, but especially for Leonard, who we\u2019ve put through the wringer quite a lot. But he will be happy, I promise.<\/p>\n

\n\tEvery year, we think, maybe we\u2019ll do something jolly for him, but actually you just think he\u2019s such a good actor, you want to give him the push into the edges.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\nAlphy Kotteram, the third vicar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rishi Nair:<\/strong> He comes into the village, and he\u2019s very distinctive and different to everyone else, and Season 9 is kind of him trying to find his feet. We see that he suffers a lot of prejudice and racism. It would have been a dishonor to history, really, if you had someone like me come into Grantchester in 1961, which is a very English town even today \u2014 so you can imagine back then what it would be like, and that no one would bat an eyelid at him and think he looks different, or treat him differently.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe tells people this story about his family, and he\u2019s a very positive, strait-laced, glass half-full person. In Season 10, we start with him being very comfortable, and he has his new Grantchester family. Then we start to unravel a bit more of his history and his upbringing, and we realize that actually what Alphy has told everyone isn\u2019t entirely true, and the big secret that he had is that he doesn\u2019t have a family. He\u2019s an orphan. A foundling that was left as a baby on the church steps, and that\u2019s how he got into the church. He has abandonment issues, but also it affects him in his relationships. Geordie has a nickname for him, the Reverend Love Them and Leave Them, meaning he\u2019s playing the field and seeing other women. And I think what that stems from is actually he\u2019s too scared to commit and fall in love with someone, because of the fear of them leaving him and being abandoned.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Season 10, we see him trying to combat that with going back to the foundling home and finding a letter from his mum that she had left him all these years ago. And him having to go back and unravel his past, which is something he\u2019s never done before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tOn the racism of that time:
<\/h4>\n

\nRishi Nair:<\/strong> You also draw on some of your own personal experiences \u2014 even in today\u2019s age of growing up in a Western society, and the certain prejudices, and certain moments in your life, that you\u2019ve kind of felt that discrimination, or felt ostracized. It\u2019s a very particular feeling when you experience that. Alphy is a really great character, in the sense that anytime he faces this kind of adversity, he doesn\u2019t get too down. He expects it, and he finds it a challenge to prove people wrong. When he comes to Grantchester, he knows that when he walks into a pub, everyone\u2019s going to stop drinking, turn their heads, and look at this guy like he\u2019s an alien. But Alphy comes in and thinks by the end of the year, once I\u2019ve been here for a while and people get to know me for who I am, they won\u2019t be doing that anymore. And hopefully, they\u2019ll want to have a drink with me.<\/p>\n

\n\tMrs. C is such a lovely character, and you can see that sometimes when people are talking about issues like racism, it\u2019s not always from a bad place. It\u2019s not always from someone thinking, \u201cI\u2019m going to be really nasty and racist to this person.\u201d It\u2019s sometimes just ignorance, and I think with Mrs. C, we see that in her character. It\u2019s ignorance, and actually that can very easily be fixed. As the season progresses, the first thing that she says is \u201ca swarthy gentleman has entered the vicarage and broken in,\u201d and it\u2019s just me entering my house. Then by the end of the season, you see Mrs. C and Alphy\u2019s relationship, and that\u2019s such a beautiful journey that both of them go on together.<\/p>\n

\nCathy (Kacey Ainsworth), Geordie\u2019s wife who opens a dress shop with Mrs. C:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daisy Coulam: <\/strong>We wanted to focus more on the women\u2019s stories, because everything is so much more difficult for them. You\u2019re either a mother or you stayed at home, and Cathy is pushing that boundary and saying, \u201cNo, I want to go out and work.\u201d So we get her in Season 10 into her own shop, and it\u2019s about empowerment and womanhood. Kacey [Ainsworth] actually wrote an episode in Season 9, which is something I love about this show, that if somebody\u2019s like, \u201cCan I try this?,\u201d I was like, \u201cYeah, have a go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOn having three different vicars:\t<\/h4>\n

\nDaisy Coulam: <\/strong>It\u2019s really terrifying. Robson and James got on really well, and that on-screen chemistry was their friendship. You think, can you get that again? Is that possible? And then Tom came in and stepped up to the plate, and then Rishi stepped up. You have to find a vicar character that can fit into that world, but isn\u2019t exactly the same as the last one, so you kind of have to keep reinventing the wheel. I saw James the other day, actually \u2014 and he really misses it still.<\/p>\n

\nRobson Green: <\/strong>When James Norton auditioned, he was asked, \u201cWhat can you bring to this inquisitive, curious member of the clergy set in Cambridge?\u201d He said, \u201cI have a first in theology from Cambridge.\u201d Isn\u2019t that a great comeback?<\/p>\n

\n\tHe\u2019s got a first in theology, and all I brought to my audition was a long mac [raincoat] and a magnifying glass. That relationship was based on sinners confessing their sins to this vicar. That became a very handy tool for a detective, and so that\u2019s how they solved the crimes together. He was breaking the law of confidence within the church.<\/p>\n

\n\tI wanted James\u2019 life, with women falling at his feet, and he wanted my life \u2014 a family and togetherness and something solid and secure.<\/p>\n

\n\tTom, who played Will, was very much a father and son relationship. He just wanted validation and approval and recognition from Geordie within that relationship.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Rishi \u2014 we were two just street-wise working class people from similar backgrounds, in terms of how we\u2019ve lived our lives. Obviously, he\u2019s got this deep secret that comes out in Season 10. He really didn\u2019t have a family, but suddenly realizes that Geordie, Cathy, Mrs. C, Leonard, and everyone else are part of his family.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Rishi did the chemistry test with me, the first thing we talked about was football. He\u2019s a Man United supporter. I\u2019m a Newcastle United supporter, and he knew more about my team than I did about my team. So even before we went in to talk in front of camera, there was a relationship evolving within minutes, and you kind of knew instinctively that he was going to be the one.<\/p>\n

\nTessa Peake-Jones<\/strong>:<\/strong> A lot of my friends are very envious, not only of the job I do, working so much, but also of these lovely, gorgeous young actors that are playing the vicars.<\/p>\n

\n\tJames Norton kicked us off, and that was lovely. When he left, we all thought, \u201cWell, how is this going to work, a new vicar?\u201d Especially from Robson\u2019s point of view, Geordie, because that relationship of vicar and detective had become so strong. But Tom came in, offering a completely different personality with his own pluses, minuses and foibles.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n\tIt\u2019s gone from a bicycle with James Norton to a motorbike with Tom Brittney, and now the beautiful Triumph red car with Alphy. Tom was a delight to be with. He took over a directing role too. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnd then, when he<\/em> went, we thought, what on Earth? How will we do it again? I don\u2019t know how they do it in the audition process, but here came Rishi Nair, and he has absolutely taken it in a completely different way. All three are delightful, but in completely different ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\tOn shooting during COVID:\t<\/h4>\n

\nTessa Peake-Jones<\/strong>:<\/strong> All our work was canceled in March of 2020. We were all so depressed that when we came back together again at the end of that year, it was difficult. You had the masks, you had the plastic, everything was very, very challenging. You couldn\u2019t have more than two people in a room. Some scenes were outdoors in the freezing cold, pretending it was the summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut you looked around at everyone, and you thought, \u201cWe are in this terrible time where people are dying, and here we are working.\u201d And hopefully the public are going to enjoy this, and it might take them out of themselves for a bit, when the world was so awful. So even then, it was joyous because we\u2019d none of us spoken to anyone, so to get back in a room where you can actually talk, to just come together as a group, was wonderful. I\u2019ll always look back on that time and be very grateful that it enabled us to get back to work, however difficult that might have been.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam:<\/strong> I think the hardest time for us was when it was COVID. We\u2019d got our scripts ready, we were going to shoot, and then everything locked down. It was like, how do you shoot a show when you can\u2019t get people in the same room? That was Season 6, and we were one of the first shows up and running. The actors had the best time, because they\u2019d been isolated for so long, and then suddenly they were thrown into a holiday camp. If you watch that holiday camp episode, you\u2019ll realize a lot of it is outside, no one\u2019s standing near each other.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe call it the Battle of Grantchester. We all got dog tags.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOn the show ending, and missing the family:\t<\/h4>\n

\nRobson Green:<\/strong> I\u2019ve always made sure that we\u2019re genuine friends off camera as well. And if that doesn\u2019t work, that\u2019s going to be very, very difficult to pull off in front of the lens.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019ve done thousands of hours of television. This has been one experience without ego. And that is why it\u2019s made it so enjoyable, and made me, every morning, get up and go, \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to going to work today.\u201d I\u2019m in denial that it\u2019s coming to an end. It\u2019s been an emotional and beautiful journey that has been great on so many levels. And it\u2019s not goodbye, because we forged so many friendships.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe last two episodes, they go out with a bang. I\u2019m just going to defy anyone not to openly weep in the last two episodes.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam: <\/strong>It\u2019s been a big part of my life, starting with getting the green light when my husband and I were on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. It feels like the world has changed. That was always what the series was about. It was about taking it from the \u201850s to the \u201860s, and how the world changed, and if you look around now, it has completely changed for us from when we started.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve gone through COVID. It\u2019s a quarter of my lifetime I\u2019ve spent on this show, and I\u2019m quite scared about letting go, actually.<\/p>\n

\nThe cast was so tightly knit that most of the actors \u2014\u00a0and Coulam \u2014 have matching \u201cG\u201d tattoos.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam:<\/strong> So far there\u2019s me, Emma, Tom who plays Will, Al, Kacey \u2014\u00a0Robson chickened out. There were a few dropouts, but I think they\u2019ll come in this time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOn meeting fans in the wild:\t<\/h4>\n

\nRobson Green:<\/strong> I\u2019ve done a lot of fishing series for the Discovery Channel. I was in Alaska, and we were going to do a section on husky racing. A group of Americans around the Kenai Peninsula pulls up. \u201cOh, my God, it\u2019s Geordie, oh, my God.\u201d I went, \u201cHello. I\u2019m Robson.\u201d And they went, \u201cHey, Geordie, say \u2018Christ on a bike.\u2019\u201d And this wasn\u2019t just an isolated incident. Three coaches of Americans came this year. They thought they were just going to get photographs of the set, because they were on a \u201cGrantchester\u201d tour, but we were filming. They were in Grantchester heaven. We\u2019re very open and happy to talk with the crowds, but all of them are going, \u201cHey, Geordie, do this with the pint.\u201d And it\u2019s just like, is that what they\u2019ve taken away from a character? He\u2019s a raging alcoholic, and he says \u201cChrist on a bike\u201d a lot.<\/p>\n

\nTessa Peake-Jones:<\/strong> I was once on a bus in Oxford and someone came up to me. She was American, a huge fan of the show, and she said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but how do they make you look so awful?\u201d And I said, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t wear any makeup, and I\u2019ve got a wig on.\u201d And she said, \u201cBut you look so different. I mean, they make you look so ugly!\u201d The wig does a lot.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam:<\/strong> We had a lovely letter from a man whose mother had a limb difference. And he sent us a picture of her, and said he was so pleased to have a character like Miss Scott, who is living her life and working and falling in love \u2014 because he said his mother was very ashamed of her body difference. So you have these little moments where it means something to somebody. I had a chat with an American guy in the church once, about homosexuality, and how he was brought up in a very religious community, and gayness was frowned upon, and he felt a kinship with the character Leonard, so much so that he felt he had to come over here.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOn what makes \u201cGrantchester\u201d work so well:\t<\/h4>\n

\nRobson Green:<\/strong> You\u2019ve got actors who have to have that kind of nuance within their armory. The comedy and the pathos and the edge and the emotion comes from truth.<\/p>\n

You always know when you have a Daisy Coulam episode, it\u2019s the economy of thought and structure, and the way she creates arcs within the relationships is just beautiful and seamless. Her writing is so easy to learn because it\u2019s well written. Bad writing is so difficult to learn.<\/p>\n

\nOn whether they would ever return for a possible reunion special:<\/strong> <\/h4>\n

\nRishi Nair:<\/strong> I personally think that we should do \u201cGrantchester, the Movie,\u201d and have all the characters come to the U.S. and experience the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nAl Weaver:<\/strong> I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0think anyone would be averse to doing a\u00a0Christmas\u00a0special, if\u00a0we ever got asked. That would be lovely. That would be fun to see everyone come back.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\tOn the upcoming Season 11:\t<\/h4>\n

\nRishi Nair:<\/strong> Alphy meets his mum, and this is a woman that abandoned him as a baby, so it\u2019s not going to be so straightforward. It\u2019s very painful for him. I think in Season 11, you see Alphy really crumble in a sense.<\/p>\n

\nDaisy Coulam:<\/strong> We\u2019ve gone very Agatha Christie on one episode. I\u2019m not going to give it away, but it\u2019s a very contained episode, almost real time. We like to challenge ourselves and do something different, because you just want to test the format a little bit and poke it. We\u2019ve also got a \u201cConclave\u201d-esque episode.<\/p>\n

\nAl Weaver:<\/strong> The great thing we\u2019re doing this year is thinking, \u201cWhat are the things that we\u2019ve not done or explored?\u201d One of them was a child, which is impossible in this time for Leonard. That wasn\u2019t a possibility for two men to have a child, but they found a way to involve that within this last season.<\/p>\n
