Grantchester

Geordie's plain-speaking, down to earth approach to policing complemented Sidney's more gentle technique of coaxing information from witnesses and suspects. Their unlikely pairing became a true friendship as each offered a different insight into the crimes they unravelled.

But as the wind of fate blows, Elliot finds himself transported to the inner workings of the largest criminal organisation in London.
