Living in Cambridge, I have become accustomed to seeing my hometown transformed into a film set.
Within the last year alone we have played host to the cast and crew of The Theory of Everything, The Man Who Knew Infinity and ITV’s latest drama series, Grantchester. Filming of Grantchester began in March, when vintage cars and buses appeared on the iconic King’s Parade.
Residents of the nearby village of Grantchester were initially a little apprehensive. It seems that they were won over: many of them agreed to appear as extras and, at the end of September, over 200 of them crammed into the local village hall for a preview of the first episode.
