Father Brown’s special 100th episode will be a lavish affair – with the entire ensemble cast attending an elaborate masked ball, described as “a little bit Knives Out” by the show’s producer.
Set in the mid-1950s, the comforting murder mystery based on the short stories by GK Chesterton follows the titular Roman Catholic priest – played by Mark Williams – as he inconspicuously (and without ego) solves crimes in the bucolic countryside of the Cotswolds.
The 100th episode, which airs on BBC One today (Friday 14th January), will feature the welcome return of Emer Kenny as Bunty and Alex Price as Sid, while viewers will finally be introduced to the feted Lord Monty Montague, played by Alexander Hanson.
