FATHER BROWN SET 2 TV DVD REVIEW


A blurb from Acorn Media about Father Brown Set 2: Heaven Help the Murderer who crosses paths with G K Cheterton’s beloved detective, Father Brown. Seemingly to confound criminals with his keen observations and inescapable logic.

This set concludes the series with the final 6 episodes. The theme music from the show is excellent. The last part of the series the Father had an assistant. His name is Flambeau who at one time was a thief but now is working on the right side of the law. What I found neat was the actor who plays Julius Brayne in the episode “The Secret Garden” is also the voice of Jeff Tracy in the Gerry Anderson series “The Thunderbirds” and the character “M” from the James Bond series, Bernard Lee is also in one of the episodes. The set includes a G.K.Chesterton Biography and Cast filmographies.
