Grantchester fans have said “everything is right in the world” now heartthrob James Norton is back on television as crime-solving vicar Sidney Chambers.
The ITV drama returned on Sunday night for a third series, kicking off with a spooky episode about a doctor being found dead in a church.

But while the mystery thrilled viewers, it was James himself who really had people gripped.

A scene in which Sidney is seen with a baby had one woman gushing: “James Norton holding a baby. Oh my ovaries.”
Several quipped that they would be rushing to church every Sunday if James was delivering the sermon.
If James Norton was my local vicar, I'd definitely give religion a go ?? #Grantchester #JamesNorton

The latest series will see Sidney torn between his love for the clergy and his blossoming relationship with his former flame Amanda (Morven Christie).And viewers also have mixed feelings about whether they should be together.
@ITV @GrantchesterUK I adore Amanda and Sidney together. I hope they can stay together despite the obstacles. ?? #Grantchester ?? pic.twitter.com/qYMkp8EPlR
