Will Davenport's first outing on Grantchester gives fans a hint at the new leading man's past.

Leonard: God and I have been moving in rather different circles recently.

The first half of this season of Grantchester saw previous leading man Sidney Chambers take his leave, and then sidekick Leonard attempted to fill in during the interim. Now fans have reached the halfway point of Season 4, and the first proper episode featuring new lead, Will Davenport. It's an unusual way to go about adding a new leading man, but one that gives the writers maximum leeway in how to introduce the new characters to fans. In most shows, when they premiere, the leading role acts as an audience avatar to introduce the wacky cast of characters, from Geordie to Mrs. Chapman. Now the show has flipped the script as the supporting crew of Grantchester are used to help us get to know the new leading man.
