Humax TV Tonight: Will’s personal demons worsen in Grantchester

The latest episode of Grantchester sees Will’s guilt grow

Grantchester continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX. After a confrontation with fellow residents in Leonard’s halfway house, Alfie, an Italian immigrant, is discovered dead.

Though the incident is staged to resemble suicide, Geordie swiftly discerns that Alfie met foul play, leading the residents to become prime suspects. The community is shocked, and amidst the police investigation, pressure mounts for Leonard to shut down the facility. Geordie and others criticize Leonard’s management, considering it lenient toward troubled and potentially dangerous individuals. Daniel questions Leonard’s approach. The night before Alfie’s demise, he had tried to confide in Will, who now grapples with guilt for not lending an ear. Tormented by personal demons and haunted by a past motorcycle accident, Will wrestles with the belief that he has been abandoned by God.

Will is the happiest he’s ever been but his world will be rocked by a terrible accident.

He’s always preached the word of a compassionate God – but how can he now, when his despair leads him on a dangerous downward spiral?

Geordie has found a new contentment in his relationship with Cathy, but when they are both confronted with shocking announcements at work their happiness is threatened. As Mrs C, Leonard, Jack and Daniel rally around, both Will and Geordie find themselves in unfamiliar, emotional waters and murder is always around the corner.

The eighth season of Grantchester will range from Speedway to spies, exploring the lives of invisible women and the very visible problems caused by Leonard’s new vocation which may, once again, find him battling the law.
