Grace season 4 release date confirmed as John Simm drama returns

Season 4 kicks off with an episode titled Dead Man's Time, which sees a robbery in a secluded home spiral into an enquiry into the whereabouts of priceless antiques.

As per the synopsis (via TVZone): "As Grace digs deeper into this mysterious crime, he unearths a web of ancient grudges, a web which leads him down a dark and murderous trail through the world of Brighton antiques in a race against the clock to untangle who is at the heart of this robbery and bring Gavin Daly the answers he has been desperately chasing for many years."

And that isn't all, as Robert Glenister will feature in the premiere episode, and there is much mystery around his character Gavin Daly.

In previously released first-look images (above), Glenister's character appears to be having a serious conversation with Simm's Grace – but what could be going on between the two?
