Murder mystery gets heavier in season 3
By Jacqueline Spendlove TV MediaThere are a few things I’ve learned from British television: You should always offer your guests tea, hats are essential ladies’ wedding attire, and clergy folk have much more thrilling jobs than I thought they did.
I can’t immediately name a priest- or vicar-centric American TV series, but at least half a dozen British ones come to mind with minimal effort. Oddly enough, a respectable number of these involve the lead clergyperson moonlighting as a detective. Are men and women of the cloth particularly suited to solving crimes? If “Father Ted,” “Cadfael” and “Grantchester” are anything to go by, then yes, they sure are. The latter of these, another fine “Masterpiece Mystery” offering, has proved to be a hit on both sides of the pond, thanks to its appealing leads and excellently written storylines. Catch a new episode of “Grantchester” when it airs Sunday, July 2, on PBS. The series is a detective drama that airs on ITV in the U.K. Based on a collection of short stories by James Runcie, it takes place in the 1950s in the titular Grantchester, an arcadian village in Cambridgeshire.
London native James Norton (“Happy Valley”) leads the cast as Rev. Sidney Chambers, an amiable
(and handsome!) young Anglican priest and former Scots Guards officer. He gets drawn into a murder investigation in the first episode, much to the disapproval of overworked local detective Geordie Keating (Robson Green, “Strike Back”).
As it turns out, however, Sidney’s intuitive, coaxing technique proves the perfect foil for Geordie’s gruff, no-nonsense approach when it comes to questioning suspects and witnesses. From there, an unlikely partnership forms, which grows into genuine friendship off the clock. The two have become a favorite duo on TV right now, thanks in part to the fantastic chemistry between the two actors.
“It’s a very unlikely relationship,” Green said when interviewed by British lifestyle and entertainment program “Lorraine.” “It’s very offbeat, very endearing, and it’s a relationship that many people care about.”
Though the mystery-of-the-week format keeps the series chugging along, the ongoing personal storylines are what really give the show its depth. Season 2 (or series 2, as the Brits call it) saw both Sidney and Geordie dealing with dilemmas of the heart,
and viewers were keen to find out where the new season would take their respective relationships.
Sidney’s case is a particularly complicated one. Throughout the series, he’s been in love with Amanda Kendall (Morven Christie, “The A Word”), an heiress whose marital future lies in her wealthy father’s hands, though she returns Sidney’s affections. She left her husband at the end of last season, and gave birth to his child in the ensuing Christmas special.
Now, since openly declaring their (very obvious) feelings for one another, she and Sidney have been living in a sort of limbo; they’re enjoying spending time together, but they know that, Sidney’s position being what it is, they can’t ultimately end up together.
“They’re living in denial. They’re having a lot of fun, but they are aware that they’re star-crossed, because they can’t really be together,” Norton explained during a visit to “The One Show.” “It’s love vs. duty ... in the ‘50s, a vicar wasn’t allowed to marry a divorcée, so if she is going to separate from her previous marriage, she becomes unavailable

Barefoot advice: Ina Garten’s newest show teaches the basics
By Andrew Warren TV MediaInaGarten has a plan: to teach people how to cook. That may not come as some sort of earth-shattering revelation to fans of “Barefoot Contessa,” her long-running series on Food Network, but for the past few months, she’s been trying a somewhat different tactic.
“Barefoot Contessa: Cook Like a Pro” premiered back in May, and while it shares part of its name with her other show, this one definitely has its own distinct flair. Airing Sundays on Food Network, “Cook Like a Pro” features Garten teaching basic cooking techniques to her audience, with each episode focusing on a different ingredient or technique.
It’s not exactly uncharted waters, but it’s a bit of a departure from
“Barefoot Contessa,” which is more about learning specific recipes than general techniques. For example, this week’s episode, which airs Sunday, July 2, is all about one of the most common and humble of ingredients: the egg. The host spends the episode teaching her viewers how to perfectly soft boil one of those little packages of goodness, sharing tips on how to perfectly whip the whites (which she then uses to make an incredible pavlova fruit tart), and even shares how to use them to make a homemade Caesar salad dressing. Of course, that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what eggs can do. Garten also offers advice on how to make foolproof truffled scrambled eggs, shows off how to make tricky hollandaise sauce for eggs benedict and invites a guest
into her kitchen to share the secrets of perfectly fried eggs.
To an experienced home cook, a lot of these techniques may seem a bit basic, but for the less experienced among us, the host has been a wonderful teacher. Next week’s episode gets a bit sweeter with its focus on chocolate (chocolate ganache cake, anyone?), and the finale, which
airs Sunday, July 16, is all about roasted vegetables.
Food Network definitely has the market for cooking competitions cornered, but with “Barefoot Contessa: Cook Like a Pro,” Ina Garten shows that even its least kitchen-savvy viewers are capable of learning basic cooking techniques. Tune in Sundays on Food Network.

The Zookeeper’s Wife
During the Second World War, Jan Zabinski (Heldenbergh), head of the Warsaw Zoo, and his wife, Antonina (Chastain), risk everything to save as many of the city’s Jewish residents as they can during the Nazi occupation. While the couple uses what resources they have to try to save their neighbors and friends, Dr. Lutz Heck (Brühl), the director of Berlin’s zoo, pillages the Warsaw Zoo and takes the most valuable animals back to Germany, killing those that remain. As the occupation of Poland stretches from days to months to years, the lives of
the three animal lovers become more and more intertwined.
