Based on G. K. Chesterton’s Father Brown short stories, BBC’s period detective comedy revolves around the titular character, particularly his sleuthing exploits that frequently put him at odds with the police.
In his parishioners’ time of sorrow and confusion, Father Brown has lots of love and compassion to give to provide solace so that he also fulfills his regular parish duties. But more often than not, he finds himself solving the town’s most puzzling crimes with his remarkable intellect and desire for justice.

What is the plot of Father Brown?
It would seem that there’s always a crime to solve at the fictional village of Kembleford where our protagonist Father Brown is currently assigned to perform his parish duties.
Returning for a new instalment, the long-running series has the Catholic priest figuring out more baffling mysteries involving his parishioners.
FeaturedHelping him in his investigative ventures are the parish secretary, Bridgette McCarthy, and his housekeeper, Susie Jasinski. Socialite Lady Felicia Montague, as well as her driver Sid Carter, also help the priest in his explorations of mysterious crimes.
It’s worth noting that series 10 has seen major changes to the cast with Mrs. McCarthy being replaced by new parish secretary Isabel Devine, alongside new housekeeper Brenda Palmer.
In the previous season, the opening episode followed Father Brown in his investigation after finding out that a murderer is using the village’s new model village to plan and set up their attacks.
We also got to see more of Father Brown’s past when he investigated a mission person and a murder case that even involved a wild cat!
Meanwhile, in the episode “The Hidden Man”, Hercule Flambeau became wanted for murders. On the run, he sought the help of his old friend with Father Brown stepping in to solve the trouble he was in.
There are more compelling cases and mysteries to decipher with season 11 on the way. In the new season, fans will see Father Brown teaming up with Sister Boniface again, while Flambeau is back to cause more troubles; only this time he brings his father, Gabriel, with him.
Their return, however, has Father Brown embarking on a dangerous mission, again!
