Humax TV Tonight: Grantchester sees a theft at a University art exhibition

January 25, 2024

Series 18 of Grantchester continues with episode 3, tonight at 9pm on ITV1.

Attending a university art exhibition appears to be a positive distraction for Will, who is grappling with the aftermath of an accident and the weight of responsibility for a fellow man’s death. With Bonnie away, Cathy, in particular, observes Will’s ongoing struggle. However, the evening takes an unexpected turn when a protest disrupts the drinks. Initially perceived as harmless antics, the situation takes a serious turn when a valuable painting is discovered missing in the chaos. To compound matters, a college porter is later found murdered.

The mystery unfolds: Is the murder connected to the protest, the theft, or is it an entirely separate incident?

Meanwhile, Leonard is discovering that managing the Half Way house is more challenging and time-consuming than he initially anticipated. While he embraces the challenge, it comes at the expense of his personal life. Daniel suggests hiring additional help to ease the burden, but Leonard staunchly refuses.
