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.

Vicar跟Sherry那個(gè)是怎麼回事啊? 完全不懂這個(gè)梗哎。。。Apparently，這記者也搞不懂。。

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.

“我得跟過(guò)去說(shuō)再見(jiàn)了，我必須得說(shuō)。我們總能做出選擇，不是嗎？我們可以選擇活在過(guò)去，我們可以選擇面向未來(lái)，我們還可以選擇活在當(dāng)下。因?yàn)槲覀兏淖儾涣藰I(yè)已發(fā)生的事情，我們也不能預(yù)知未來(lái)。沒(méi)人知道在下一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)角會(huì)發(fā)生什么，這就是事實(shí)。我們能做的，就是把目光放長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)，穩(wěn)步前行?！?br>
不再容忍長(zhǎng)期受到家暴的妻子褪去鮮亮的妝容，將丑陋的淤青暴露在眾人面前。

不能容忍背叛自己的德國(guó)女友毅然離開(kāi)了牧師，頭也不回。

不愿容忍軍隊(duì)生涯中德國(guó)被俘士兵被同伴槍殺卻能全身而退毫不受良心譴責(zé)的退伍軍人一個(gè)個(gè)將他的同伴們殺害。

絕不容忍惡人為非作歹而自己的探長(zhǎng)朋友卻受槍傷性命不保的牧師想方設(shè)法拯救大家，只身一人前去調(diào)查。

無(wú)法容忍牧師整日渾渾噩噩的馬太太和Leonard主動(dòng)提出要用一切方法幫助牧師。

無(wú)力容忍自己的戰(zhàn)友受槍傷的痛苦折磨而含淚用自己的槍結(jié)束了戰(zhàn)友生命的牧師，他的內(nèi)心誰(shuí)來(lái)拯救？

還有他的老相好，就這樣出嫁了，自己根本去不了她的婚禮。

最后一集，兩個(gè)女人離他而去，幸好還有Mrs M和探長(zhǎng)他老婆。最后一集見(jiàn)證了德國(guó)兵、多個(gè)退伍兵和他的戰(zhàn)友以及自殺的罪犯的死亡，其晦暗程度不言自明。好在一切都以回歸結(jié)尾。友人得之不易，且行且珍惜。
