“We’ve been so lucky over the last 11 series to experience that on and off screen.
“For over a decade now – cast and crew (many who’ve been there since the beginning) have met each Summer to film. And it’s been an absolute joy. Thank you to James Runcie for entrusting us with his characters.
“Thank you to the lovely people of real Grantchester. Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of the show in any way – big or small.
“I’ll miss you terribly.”
