Grantchester Arives on DVD / Blu-ray in April

PBS Distribution announced today it will release “MASTERPIECE MYSTERY!: GRANTCHESTER” on DVD and Blu-ray April 7, 2015.  “As a priest, isn’t everything our business?” asks Reverend Sidney Chambers as he gets to the bottom of another baffling murder around the placid village of Grantchester. James Norton (“Death Comes to Pemberley”) stars as the handsome, jazz-loving vicar, with Robson Green as his law-enforcement ally, Inspector Geordie Keating, in “GRANTCHESTER.”

Based on the acclaimed novel “Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death” by James Runcie, “GRANTCHESTER” hearkens back to a simpler England, when World War II had just ended, Elizabeth II was the new queen, and the local vicar was the pillar of the community.

Runcie styled Sidney after his late father, Lord Runcie, who was Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1980s. Like Sidney, the elder Runcie was a war hero before he entered the ministry, and he was a compassionate and amiable parish priest. Unfortunately, he never took up crime-solving. “GRANTCHESTER” corrects that oversight.

Also starring are Morven Christie (“Case Histories”) as Amanda Kendall, Sidney’s first love and soul mate; Tessa Peake-Jones (“Poirot”) as Mrs. Maguire, the vicar’s morally judgmental landlady; Al Weaver (“Sherlock”) as Leonard Finch, the church’s new assistant curate; and German actress Pheline Roggan as Hildegard Staunton, the strikingly beautiful widow of the series’ first victim.
