(playful music) - Larry and Miss Scott are two quite unlikely characters together.

But it just works.

- They're so different, but that's what's so wonderful when two people that are so polar opposite kind of come together and form a really lovely friendship.

- It's really, really nice.

And there's some lovely moments, lovely scenes that we've got together.

- Success.

- Opened sharp.

I'll be out of here before you have time to make me a cuppa.

- If you're going to be that quick, you can make your own.

She has got more confident, and I think that that's because she's been given the chance from her colleagues to kind of get involved in a few more things.

1960 woman working in police station, I imagine you were sort of told kind of what to do and where to go, rather than the other way round.

And what I love about this, is it's Miss Scott that tells everybody else what to do, which is just quite nice really.

- She knows all the information ahead of everyone else (chuckling), so she'll constantly come in, and before you even ask like, "Go and get that", she's like, "This is the information that you need".

Quick as you can.

- Already on it.

We obviously follow Georgie and Will doing a brilliant job of solving crimes regularly, and it's just a really nice time for Miss Scott and Larry to be able to put their heads together.

Have you checked his books?

- Well, unless he'd got a copy of Lady Chadley with all the mucky bits, I doubt anyone will kill him over a book.

(playful music) - I mean his personal papers, any records in his home.

Maybe someone else held a grudge.

- Yeah, that's good.

I owe you.

- Milk and one sugar, if you would.

She's really happy and excited that Larry's getting to shine, and that she's actually able to shine alongside him by helping him so much.

- So you are questioning my integrity?

- No.

- No.

- A little bit.

- Yes.

- Well Larry's given a chance, and Larry takes that chance, and he gets Miss Scott, Andrew's wing.

(cup and plate banging) - Fitzbilly's treats and name dropping Lady Chatterley.

Is this your cultural renaissance Larry?

- I was wondering, you had such a good thought about checking motives.

Do you ever wanna get a bit of experience working a case?

- Is this you trying to get me to look at the book in your hands?

- They've been given that chance and they both go, "Yes, I'm gonna fill them shoes".

We get to go out at the police station together.

- I think that there is a real friendship at the heart of everything between Larry and Miss Scott.

They have a laugh and a joke together.

She is incredibly witty and sarcastic.

Messages for you, Inspector.

- Am I gonna want to hear them?

- I doubt it.

In the first two series we've kind of seen Larry, I guess be a bit sheepish towards that, because he hasn't quite known how to respond to her.

Larry really is an absolute twerp.

- That's doing a disservice to twerps.

- Have you mind anyway?

First names aren't for the workplace.

But actually, in this series we see that there's some real banter between them.

- I've never seen you outside the office.

- I'd expect it to become a habit.

Elliot'll go atomic if he finds I've left my desk.

- If I tell him it's a training, he'll understand.

- Funny how that works.

The male prerogative.

- They do bounce off each other.

- Larry and Miss Scott, they can get a case solved.

And they can have a real laugh whilst they're doing it.

- They're friends.

She actually likes Larry.

And it does take him by surprise I think.

- Larry opens up to Miss Scott's a few times in this series, and they're really beautiful moments.

He does find comfort in Miss Scott.

And again, it's not in a romantic way, it's in this really beautiful platonic way.

- I know I'm not the sharpest, and I've got a lot to learn.

But, I am trying.

- It's been a real pleasure to kind of watch that relationship unfold.

- Larry's become a lot kinder than he's ever been, and I think that's the friendship that he has with Miss Scott, has kind of made him become less cynical, because I think for the first time in his life there's hope there, for I don't have to just have this life that's been set for me, and it's always been this certain thing where I'm the butt of the joke.

- This is really good work.

- Larry has always been the idiot.

And he has always done those things.

He is quite unlikeable with all the characters to be like, "Oh, here comes Larry".

Like, everyone kind of dreads him being there.

And then by the end, they actually enjoy, I think, having Larry there.

He's kind of like, "What's he gonna say?

What's he gonna do?"

But it's an enjoyable thing.

- Your mom would be proud of you Larry.

- There's a really sweet moment where the first time Geordie shares a smile with Larry that's real.

And it's not like, oh, the idiot's actually sold it.

The idiot's done something good for once.

It's wow, there's a change there.

(playful music) - I hate to say it, but he's really rather attractive when he is not being a twerp.

Welcome to the police station.

So this is Geordie's office.

Voila.

- We know if we're in here, something's going down, right?

We're delivering something, someone's dead.

Season nine.

- Miss Scott and Larry- - There it is.

- And Geordie's desk.

- There's the sounds, should we do the sound?

- Oh, we could you do the sound.

- Come on.

(door handle clicking) This is the one set that we have, so if you see various cells, it would all be this cell.

- [Melissa] Oh this is the interview room.

It's very messy at the moment.

- It's just got a table here, me and Georgia here.

Have you been in it?

- No, Miss Scott's probably making tea.

- Doesn't make no sense.

- Any.

Doesn't make any sense.

- Melissa is my best mate on "Grantchester".

- We've formed such a lovely friendship over the last three series.

- It's been great.
