Overview

• Channel 5 schedules the six-part drama for Tuesday 7 October at 9pm, with episodes to follow weekly.
• Drawn from Reverend Richard Coles's first Canon Clement novel, the story centers on a rector investigating a body found in his church in the fictional Champton.
• Matthew Lewis stars as Canon Daniel Clement with Amanda Redman, Amit Shah, Adam James, Meghan Treadway, Alexander Delamain and Marion Bailey among the ensemble.
• The series is adapted by Nick Hicks-Beach and directed by David Moore, with Lewis saying it brings added depth and a darker tone than typical cosy crime.
• Filming spanned the West Midlands, with Worfield doubling for Champton and shoots in Leamington Spa, Offchurch, Welford-on-Avon, Claverley, Dudmaston Hall, Chillington Hall and Wolverhampton, while Coles kept the real inspiration undisclosed.
