Grantchester has just started filming it’s next series so it will air next spring I imagine,

That is actually the series after the next one. The series that has just started filming is series 9, but ITV are yet to show series 8. It’s currently on air in the US and ITV (who normally show it first) were due to show it in March, and even got as far as it being in the March highlights press release before, for some reason, it was swapped out and they showed Redemption instead. No idea why, and seeing as it’s not in the Autumn pack I assume it won’t air until next year now.

Nov/Dec should be better for The Voice than Sept/Oct last year as Strictly shows will be shorter by then so The Voice should have a clearer run after 8pm.

Agree they're really lacking returning dramas now, possibly as a result of concentrating on airing 4 parters across the week.  They're also missing the cosy Sunday 8pm dramas now The Larkins has been axed.

Strictly is shorter but I’m a Celebrity being on around 9/9.15pm might mean The Voice has to start pre-8pm some weeks so May still encounter some significant overlaps.

The Larkins is a weird one. It definitely underperformed so I get them axing it, but again they don’t seem to be attempting to replace it with anything. I’m beginning to wonder if they’re going to put Three Little Birds there this Autumn but I can see that bombing really badly. Good Karma Hospital was a stronger performer than The Larkins despite being thrown against Call the Midwife, but they (bizarrely) still axed it.
