The Grantchester Christmas special saw the return of vicar Sidney Chambers and detective sidekick Geordie Keating solving the murder of a man on the eve of his wedding.
The show is about so much more than actor James Norton’s good looks, but you’d be forgiven for thinking it was only about the hot vicar if you took a look at Twitter.
I've never seen #Grantchester before. Is it just everyone lusting lustily after James Norton 24/7?

His bone structure attracted particular comment.
'Tis the season to watch the Grantchester Christmas special and shed a small tear over his perfect cheekbones

James Norton's cheekbones are a goddamn Christmas miracle #Grantchester

I swear I am focusing on the plot but also I am often distracted by Sidney's jawline. Purely academic interest you see. #Grantchester

If it wasn’t his perfect face, it was his lovely coat.
I do very much like Sidney's coat #Grantchester

It really is a beautiful coat.

Some other stuff also happened in the episode. Sidney and Georgie found the killer, Leonard was adorable as usual and Amanda gave birth to a baby girl.
Bring on the next series.
