Grantchester on ABC and ABC iview S9E6 – It’s 1961 and times are changing in Grantchester.
Geordie and Larry are called out to Marcus Blakely’s farm one morning, following the discovery of a
skeleton in his field.
The skeleton turns out to be that of a Roman soldier. Soon after, a team of archaeologists arrive to set up a dig site, causing quite a stir in the village. Mrs C hears the news and convinces Alphy and Jack to walk down and take a look. That night, the archaeologists host a talk at the village hall, showcasing their findings and further plans for the dig.
The next morning, Henry is found dead, eerily lying in the same spot in which the skeleton was discovered. As Alphy and Geordie investigate Henry and his fellow archaeologists further, they uncover a tangled web of betrayal and deceit, in which no-one is quite who they say they are.
Still processing the news that he’s out of a job, Alphy looks for a sign from God about what he should
do next. Should he give up and leave, or stay and fight? Feeling lost and out of sorts, Alphy seeks out
a shady bar on the other side of town where he partakes in some backroom gambling.
Whilst there, he meets a beguiling young woman.
Following a flirtatious interaction, she takes Alphy back to her college room, where they spend the night together. When Alphy returns home the next morning, he is shocked to discover the vicarage has been broken into and ransacked.
With no apparent items missing, Alphy wonders what they could have been looking for. Was this the sign from God that Alphy was looking for, telling him that it’s time to go?
