Calling all murder mystery fans! The BBC has unveiled more first-look pictures of Father Brown, the ten-part returning series featuring the cosy crime-busting priest played by Mark Williams.
Based on the short stories by GK Chesterton, Father Brown follows an English Catholic priest who solves crimes in the fictional village of Kembleford in the Cotswolds.
First airing in 2013, the new series marks the show’s 13th run, and sees Mr and Mrs Sullivan enjoy marital bliss, Father Brown engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse and the cast head to the seaside in a series first.
Speaking of the series, HELLO!’s Acting TV editor Nicky Morris said: “This comforting drama is the ultimate cosy crime show. Set in the idyllic fictional village of Kembleford in the 1950s, where it’s always summer time, the show offers a blend of cosy mystery and gentle humour with a charismatic lead and quirky cast of characters. No violence, no gore, just sheer nostalgic escapism.
“If you’re a fan of Midsomer Murders or Rosemary & Thyme, which also offer gentle crime-solving with strong character focus, then you’ll love Father Brown.” Read on for more details, including a peek at those new photos…
Father Brown returns to BBC One and iPlayer on Friday 9 January at 2pm.
