Grantchester - Season 1-3 (DVD)

Season 1
It's 1953, and Sidney Chambers is vicar of Grantchester, a village just outside Cambridge. Sidney's is a quiet life. Or at least, it has been right up until the moment that murder comes his way... Pushed into the dangerous world of lies, betrayal and murder, Sidney quickly finds that his insight into the human condition, and the natural trust that he engenders in people, means that he excels in his new position as detective. Joining Sidney as he journeys into this dark world is the affable but world-weary Detective Inspector Geordie Keating, the naive, but well-meaning curate Leonard Finch, and his austere and constantly disapproving housekeeper Mrs Maguire. But crime isn't the only matter that occupies Sidney. He's smitten with the witty, beautiful, Amanda, but could high society Amanda ever be allowed to marry a lowly country vicar?

Season 2
It's 1954 and having lain his wartime past to rest, Sidney Chambers is in a good place. Booze and self-doubt have taken a back seat to his duties and congregation. He's growing up, and trying to lead a good life. But things are never easy and when Sidney finds himself wrongly accused of a crime, his unmasking of the real culprit will send shockwaves through the entire village. Sidney and Geordie's unlikely friendship has blossomed they will do anything for one another but as the story unfolds they will find that loyalty tested to the limit. A vicar keeps people's confidences. A copper is hell bent on exposing them. Will allegiance to the institutions they work for ultimately be Sidney and Geordie's undoing?

Season 3
It's 1955 and Sidney Chambers, the vicar of the small Cambridgeshire village of Grantchester, is once again aiding the investigations of his best friend, Detective Inspector Geordie Keating. Amongst the crimes of passion, murderous plots and unexpected tragedies, Sidney has always had the stability of his role in the church to fall back on. But now, much to the dismay of Mrs Maguire and Leonard Finch, that stability is being tested as the love he feels for his long-time sweetheart Amanda puts him at odds with the very institution he serves.
