As several versions of the Father Brown stories have been made there is ample choice around but for my money I find this particular and latest series sweet and gentle. Good mysteries and a very deprecating performance by Mark Williams with Sorcha Cusack as his housekeeper/parish secretary, usually providing hilariously prim and proper but hopelessly biased views which the good Father swallows and manages to counter by the application of logic and fairness.
Lovely location and sets in a yellowstoned Cotswold village. A bit like Midsomer Murders, a lot of people get bumped off !
Has run to 6 series and 70 episodes so there's plenty to enjoy. Loads of well know guest stars. Frances Barber, Martin Kemp, Pennie Downie, Selina Cadell, etc.
Theme music composed by Debbie Wiseman.
