Review

Jane Rackham

Mark Williams does a smashing job as GK Chesterton’s mystery-solving pastor, a role previously played by Kenneth More and Alec Guinness. Father Brown is a mild-mannered, outwardly bumbling chap who’s rarely seen without an umbrella and a bemused expression on his face but who often finds himself caught up in murder. His sleuthing tends to be intuitive rather than deductive. A bit like Midsomer Murders, the stories have a gloriously bucolic setting, although purists will notice that the period has been moved to the 1950s.
