They said when it ended today that it would be back but I turned it off too quickly to hear when! I'm hoping someone else did.

They are repeating Season 2 starting from Monday
I have only seen the first series (repeated on Alibi) and this series so series 2 will be new to me. |

I love this series but this week there have been awful lot of near relatives killing each other.
A daughter shooting her dad (by mistake), a mum killing her son (by accident) a dad killing his son (while hypnotised) and today a son killing his dad by saxophone(he meant it).Despite this I wish it was on for longer than two weeks...I know I could save them to watch a bit more spread out but I find I can't.

It looks like there will be another series because Tahsin Guner is writing episodes for it
According to this interview http://www.arts.ac.uk/lcc/people/stu.../tahsin-guner/

Jack Deam is a fine actor, but not on this. Overacting terribly.
I suppose that's part of the amateur sleuth genre that the police inspector is a bit of an arrogant numpty who jumps to conclusion by ignoring salient details supplied by the 'hero', arresting the wrong persone until corrected by the hero/heroine. Also the numpty police inspector always tells the gifted amateur to stay out of "my crime" and "let the professionals get on with their job" issuing threats while the central character, untramelled by red tape and proper procedure sees the fuller picture and gets the job done. FB is on tomorrow. Is it a repeat? |

If he's been seen acting well in something else, then he must have been 'directed' to play an annoying, irritable, arrogant, incompetent twazzock in this. His character holds back progress in solving crimes.

The 10 episodes go too quickly. We will have to wait another year now.

The series wouldn't go so quickly if they treated it correctly by giving it a weekly 8p.m. slot, which it deserves.

It has everything, even the SCREAMS when a body is found lol...we always know who found the body Lady Felicia fab. I love her character. I thought the last one in the series was brilliant and I did hold my breath...... Cant wait for new series, but think i will watch this week even though I have seen it before. I hope it stays as a day time series, as it really breaks up the afternoon. |

And an official BBC press release.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...octors-daytime Considering the ratings and how well Father Brown sells overseas it's no surprise it's returning But great news I love Father Brown but I didn't realise that it was a popular export "has been sold to 162 territories"? But that just increases the chance of further series produced.

The beauty of Father Brown, the main cast are jobbing actors, except for Speer and Chambers. I am not keen on Deam.
No indication yet if it is 10 or 15 episodes as series 3. The Coroner is definitely 10. WPC56 never made a fourth series. probably because it was a too grim and the stories were not self contained, and five a year would make it hard to sell abroad. |

His character was far too antagonistic. Didn't think his acting was anywhere near as good as Speer's either.

WPC 56 was good but they only did 5 a series. The best thing about it was Charles De'ath. |

A jobbing actor is one who takes any part not refusing work a "star" might think they are too good for. Mark Williams could have asked for a lot more money, insisted the show was put on later.

With Father Brown it's regular work, regular income and they're the stars of it. Abroad Father Brown plays in primetime. Alibi repeated them in primetime. |
