Episode 3: Episode 3

Summary

Leonard gets caught up in an armed robbery at the village post office, and manages to identify the masked culprit. Geordie takes no chances when going to arrest the criminal, who has a record of similarly violent crimes - but is surprised to discover that the suspect has been murdered. Meanwhile, a second robbery occurs, carried out by a man and a woman who have adopted the dead robber's trademark of disguising himself with a gas mask. Back at the Vicarage, the atmosphere is tense between Sidney and Amanda

Review

David Butcher

Once again the streets and meadows of Grantchester are a battleground. There are shootings and blows, yes, but the real battle is between buttoned-up 1950s morality and the approach best summed up by the theme of Sidney’s sermon: “This is the life we are here for… We owe it to ourselves to live it.”

Except he’s not living it. He’s all eaten up inside because he and Amanda can’t be together, so he goes for joyless runs across the meadows and pushes himself like a man possessed – then reaches for the whisky bottle. So while Geordie is tormented by the affair he’s having (with young Margaret at the station, remember), Sidney is tormented by the one he’s not.

All very sad, but they find time to tackle a spate of armed robberies – and a bingo night in the church hall, where Mrs Maguire notes cheerily, “Nothing fun is without sin.”
