Grantchester’s Robson Green discusses when he’ll leave ITV series
"I knew I had to leave all the series that I've done."
Robson Green says he'll leave ITV drama Grantchester "when the writing falters" – but stressed at the moment, "the writing gets better and better".
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, the actor revealed that he's always known "when to leave" previous projects like Casualty and Wire in the Blood.
Asked whether he ever foresees departing Grantchester, he said: “I think like anything, you know when something's not right.
"I knew when to leave Casualty. I knew when to leave Soldier Soldier. I knew when to leave Grafters. I knew when to leave Wire in the Blood. I knew when to leave Northern Lights. I knew I had to leave all the series that I've done.
"It's when the writing falters. And once the writing falters, that’s the time to leave. At the moment [with Grantchester], the writing gets better and better."
