- We're outside the vicarage in Grantchester, the very real village of Grantchester. This is the outside. We don't use the inside because it's very modern. So we use the outside with all this beautiful wisteria, which I'm sure you can see. We use the outside because the lawns are so good. And over there is the church, which of course, is very important in our series. And once we go into the door there, we actually cut and go into a studio version of the vicarage. Here's the door. Let's go in. So I've come in from Cambridge, from Grantchester, into the magic set. All looks exactly the same. And I come through the door to the hallway.
- Shepherd's pie.
- Shepherd's pie, right.
- So here we are in the kitchen, most famous part of the Grantchester vicarage. Here's the cooker, where Mrs. Chapman does a lot of her cooking, with her beautiful props. They give her stews and soups and all sorts of things. Then you've got the table where many a scenes gone on here, chatting around the table with three vicars, over the 11 years. Over here, look at this beautiful lighting. Look at this window. Isn't that amazing? Looks like the sunshine's pouring in. It's actually a very dull day out today, but that's the magic of television. Through the hallway, this is the phone sometimes used mainly by one of the vicars.
- Vicarage.
- Coming through here to the hallway, in the original vicarage, it was a proper house, but this is a pretend. So this wall is gone. In the original vicarage, you'd walk through a door to the garden. But here, they've taken that off to make it more room for the cameras. Now you've gone and done it. I fell on those stairs. I fell on the last step and broke my ankle and my foot. So I remember those stairs very well. And then, you walk through here to the living room. ♪ For he's a jolly good fellow ♪
- Many a conversations being had here, sitting down at the sofa or television over there. So Mrs. C. hadn't ever had a television. And Tom Brittney's character, his vicar, brought a television in, I think. So she's very fond of this because she sneaks in here and watches it when no one's looking.
- Ooh. I didn't have you done as a science fiction fan, Mrs. C.
- It's a lot of nonsense. But I feel I should watch it because they're all trying so hard. And that is the vicarage. Soon, we're gonna be saying goodbye to it all.
