The Reverend Rachel Rosborough met Norton on BBC’s The One Show, as she and a number of other real-life residents of the Cambridgeshire village popped into studio for a chat.

Norton will resume his post on Sunday 23rd April on ITV as Sidney struggles to strike a balance between his work life and personal life, while simultaneously solving crime with his pal Geordie (Robson Green).
