Drama
Period drama Beecham House ends much the way it lived – as a ridiculous, nonsensical mess that should have been much better than it turned out to be. The finale has a little bit of everything: John triumphing repeatedly despite having no reason to do so, Margaret being awesome, Chanchal getting
Mystery
Will was in a lousy headspace at the end of last week's Grantchester. The finale opens with him in a worse one, drunk and surly, having crashed his mother's engagement party to St. John. Only Clement (Jonny Amies), his teenage step-brother-to-be, gets a kind word. Amelia,

Drama
