(as in the Sherlock thread, where people spotted something in episode 2 that will be important in episode 3).

A nice gentle show to doze off to in the afternoon, it doesn't exercise the brain power too much.

Do you really want to know?
Spoilers don't really bother me - I often flick to the end of a book to see what happens

Not much of a spoiler, really. ![]() (I always read the last page of a book first, too. )

It's better than a lot of cosy Sunday evening drama that is currently shown. |

Glad to see Father Brown back. I am watching the first one. Really well made. Very gentle murder mysteries. Quite fun. Mark Williams is terrific in the main role. |

I watched this earlier (very enjoyable, as always), and then I watched Midsomer Murders tonight, and I wondered - does Father Brown live anywhere near Midsomer? Because the murder rate is very high for a small town, and I wondered if this unfortunate trend had started in Father Brown's day, and continued until modern times.
If so, I wonder if the evil force which was introduced during the last series of Whitechapel, apparently causing the place to attract murderers in their dozens, has a holiday home there. Just wondering. (Oxford has been known to suffer in a similar way). |

I am really enjoying this series, so glad they commissioned the second one. Does any else get a similar vibe to Dr Blake - another really enjoyable day time drama?

I heard they have the same problem in the Caribbean island of Saint-Marie. The rumor is that there's a new wave of murder starting january 14th
![]() ![]() Busman's holidays, naturally. ![]() Solved it for them all - bring back Whitechapel, let the team destroy the Evil One and there will be no more murders! |

![]() ![]() Father Brown is more of a Jessica Fletcher style figure who generally just happens to be around when someone get's murdered. Basically, if you're planning on having a party, don't invite either of 'em!

What time period is this set in? is it the 1940s just after the war, only the Prison Officers cap badge looked liked E.R. which would make it after 1953.

But before 1955 as we saw meat was still on ration. Although according to Coporal Jones Fr Brown would not have been able to use his ration book at a butchers he was not registered with so that was a story blooper.

Wasn't sure about Valentine's replacement but starting to like him. Thought Father Brown was twisting him around his little finger during episode 2 but it looks like there will still be friction between the two. |

Loved the first series. The characters are still good, although missing the Polish girl and much prefer the previous Inspector, but my oh my, what dreadful, over the top, far fetched plots. Today's episode - the woman in the wheelchair can really walk. Already been done, for laughs, in Doctor Who in "The Unicorn and the Wasp" so just couldn't take it seriously.

Father Brown is a Catholic and so, it seems, is everyone in the village, highly unlikely. Also the old Parish Church would be C.of E.the Catholics lost all the old churches and Cathedrals after the Reformation. Most Catholic churches are modernish buildings.

Father Brown deals with any murders involving Catholic whereas the local CoE vicar, let's call him Reverend Green deals with any murders comitted by or against members of the Anglican community |

If i'm not mistaken, in one of the last episode, there was a talk about someone dying 10 years before and then we saw that person's tombstone and it said 1944. So it would set the current series in 1954.

There's probably some degree of demarcation as far as murders go in that village

Perhaps that village managed to ignore the Reformation.
