Cambridge: Robson Green is buzzing about the new energy Rishi Nair will bring to Grantchester. He just said a bittersweet goodbye to Tom Brittney, whose last episode airs tonight. Tom has played vicar Will Davenport for six years, and it’s definitely a big moment for fans.
Robson, who plays DI Geordie Keating, had nothing but praise for Tom. He called it an incredible journey and welcomed Rishi as the new vicar, Alphy Kotteram. Rishi will make his debut next week, and Robson is urging everyone to catch tonight’s emotional farewell episode.
He reflected on the bond he shared with Tom, saying it felt like closing a chapter on a beautiful friendship. The laughter and memories they created together are something he’ll always treasure. Robson really appreciates how Tom brought warmth to the character and how their partnership resonated with viewers.
Looking ahead, Robson is excited about what’s next for Grantchester. He sees Rishi’s arrival as the start of new adventures. He can’t wait to see how Rishi shakes things up and brings fresh energy to the show.
Tom announced his departure from the series earlier this year. He mentioned on ITV’s This Morning that after five series, it was time for a change. He felt Will’s story had reached its end and wanted to explore new roles.
