Step back in time to a sleepy 1950s English village, where Father Brown (Mark Williams, Harry Potter films) continues to tend his flock and catch criminals with compassion, intuition, psychology and wit. Who would kill an opera diva, a church bell ringer, or the owner of a medieval whistle? Why poison a gardener or blackmail a lord? When someone steals Lady Felicia's jewels, should Father Brown ask a brilliant thief to help recover them? Based on the short stories by G K Chesterton. Each episode sees the inimitable priest investigate a crime in his own particular way. 7 ½ hrs, 2 DVDs.
