Crime Drama Queens
Two old friends, Lily and Lex, chat about their love of TV crime dramas and murder mysteries. Each episode they watch and discuss a different show and what it means to them.
Crime Drama Queens
Episode thirty seven - "Father Brown" (season twelve, episode one, "The Battle of Kembleford")
Silly hats, squabbling academics, tudor costumes, death by antique sword...what can we say? Just the usual antics in the world of crime drama. We've seen all these things before but this time we are in the world of Father Brown. It's not the greatest introduction to the world of G.K. Chesterton's crime solving priest, but if you are into secret codes and battle reinactments, you are in for a treat.
Apologies for the weird knocking sounds. Both our tracks, recorded on different devices, several hundred miles apart, had strange knockings sounds throughout. We've removed them as much as possible, but, as ever, we don't really know what we're doing. I suspect the ghost of G.K. Chesterton might have been trying to reach us...
This podcast contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.
Our next episode will be on "Wallander" (the Kenneth Brannagh version), season one, episode one, "Sidetracked." This is available on BBC Iplayer in the UK, and Britbox and PBS in the US.
