Fix Father Brown

Father Brown has been a hit TV show since 2013. Over 140 episodes and it’s still going. But something changed along the way. The early show was about life in Kembleford — and a crime that interrupted it. Now the crime is the whole point, and the people around Father Brown are paying the price. Today I'm talking about the characters who made this show great — Mrs McCarthy, Mallory, Sid, Bunty, Lady Felicia — and why their replacements haven't filled those shoes yet. Father Brown still has what it takes. I just want it to remember where it came from. Support our podcast!
