The duo will return as DI Geordie Keating and Reverend Alphy Kottaram for series 11.
Fan favourites Al Weaver (Leonard Finch), Tessa Peake-Jones (Mrs C), Kacey Ainsworth (Cathy Keating), and Oliver Dimsdale (Daniel Marlowe) are also back - alongside Nick Brimble, Bradley Hall and Melissa Johns.

Ned was playing the role of Harvey who was convinced his father had been murdered, despite evidence that confirmed it was suicide.

A second added: 'I recognise the actor playing Harvey in #Grantchester as he's also in #Emmerdale as Joe Tate!"
"That Joe from Emmerdale?" questioned another viewer.

New Diddly Squat farmhand Harriet Cowan dances in a denim mini skirt and cowboy boots for a country day
Diddly Squat farmhand Harriet Cowan danced in a denim skirt and cowboy boots as she head out to a country day on Sunday. The 24-year-old nurse shocked viewers of the hugely popular Prime Video show when she appeared in the trailer for series four after Jeremy's co-star Kaleb Cooper temporarily left the show. Sharing an update to Instagram, she joined a friend for a fun clip wearing a country-themed look. Harriet teamed her suede boots, from Ariat, with a white blouse and a cream western hat for the event. 'We are going to a country day we don't usually dress like this!' she captioned the post. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Harriet recently broke her silence on a 'fake' Clarkson's Farm scene as she spoke candidly on a new podcast this week. She has been helping out Jeremy with an array of tasks on the farm and impressing viewers while also challenging stereotypes around women in farming. Last week Harriet appeared on the Should I Delete That podcast with Jeremy's daughter Emily. She spoke about one scene in the trailer that she thought seemed 'fake' when she watched it back but was in fact completely true. They discussed on the podcast how busy farmers are and how Harriet also works a full time nursing job five days a week. Emily asked her: 'Do you ever sit down with your boyfriend and chill together, or eat together? It sounds impossible.' Harriet then said: 'No! In the trailer where it's like, 'Have you watched Clarkson's Farm before?' And I'm like, 'No', and when I watched it it looked so fake. But it is so real because we don't watch telly. 'Literally, if we watch something, James will sit down, his head will hit the back of the sofa and he's asleep because the second he can rest, he'll sleep, because he's so tired all the time.' On the podcast Harriet also spoke about breaking stereotypes of women working in farming. She said of appearing on the show: 'I wanted to show that women can do it too, we are there but people can't see it. Women can do it. 'Most people think of just older men wearing checked shirts when it comes to farming. 'I am challenging people's views of what people think a farmer looks like. People are so shocked when they drive past and I'm in the tractor they just stare.' The recent Clarkson's Farm trailer showed Jeremy running into several obstacles on the farm, yet TikTok star Harriet made a good impression as she was quick to help. Jeremy was left in awe at her work, turning to the camera and gushing: 'She's brilliant!' She wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty as she put in fences, loaded feed for the animals and even showed her welding skills on Diddly Squat Farm. Harriet, a full-time nurse and farmer, admitted in the clip that she hadn't watched Clarkson Farm's before but she didn't let that slow her down. Jeremy was left in awe at her work, turning to the camera and gushing: 'She's brilliant!' Kaleb - who was on a nationwide tour - later returned to the farm and seemed to be getting along well with his replacement. It's hardly surprising that Harriet was a natural on the farm, having grown up helping her father Eddy tend to his land. She revealed on social media that her mother wanted her to become a nurse but her father wanted her to follow in his footsteps - so she opted to do both. Harriet has a healthy social media following, boasting 35,000 TikTok followers, while her Instagram bio encourages her fans to 'come and watch the craziness'.
