Father Brown Complete Series 2 - BBC [DVD]

Love this series - in my opinion, series two is better by far than series one. Has evolved into a lovely little undemanding period drama. Although Mark Williams might not be the Father Brown of Chesterton's canon (no pun intended) he plays it with integrity and grace, Highly enjoyable.

I really liked Father Brown Series 1 so I bought Series 2 sight unseen - and the whole show seems to be turning into something rather special now. Father Brown is as comforting as English Breakfast tea, but it also has the most brilliantly written crime plots (I couldn't guess any of them, damn it). This series is lovely to look at, with all the gorgeous 1950's clothes - but also a bit deeper than that. Mark Williams as the philosophical man of faith, Father Brown, elevates the series so it becomes far more than a whodunnit. I really hope we see this go into a third series. A fourth. A fifth...

We have watched Series 1 and 2 and liked them both. Kinda reminds us of the pace and style of Midsommer Murders (nice mystery storyline but light on the violence and gore. We will purchase Series 3 if it shows up on Amazon.co.uk.

A beautifully crafted series. Sorcha Cusack brilliant as ever. Mark Williams brought depth to the title character.

A Superb series and a very welcome addition on DVD & BluRay.
(but why do the BBC hide it away during the daytime?)

Have watched my DVDs of Father Brown, fantastic as always. This is a great series and I am certainly hoping for more to become available.

Such a fantastic series. Mark Williams is perfect for the role of father brown. This series has the perfect mix of suspense with just the right amount of comedy in certain places make it wonderful viewing. Would definitely recommend all 3 series of this and really hope they continue to make more. Definitely the best murder mystery series in a long time! 5 out of 5 for every episode!

Watched this on TV and just had to get the DVD as I know someone in the cast.
Super series

The second series of Father Brown keeps up the high standard of the first. Can you imagine anyone better than Mark Williams in the title role ably assisted by a wonderful bevy of actors. This is a must buy. Top rate.

Brilliant series , arrived quickly and was well packaged . Just pure nostalgia and a joy to watch . The actors are very well cast , especially the lead characters . Made my Christmas go with a swing .
