Is it for me?
Viewers who want murder with tea and no gore will feel looked after here. A disliked man dies at the unveiling of a new church clock, and Brown, unhurried, works it out by listening rather than shouting. Mrs McCarthy guards her scones and trades barbs with Lady Felicia, while Mark Williams plays him as a priest who puts mercy ahead of the letter of the law.
Before you start
Every episode is a separate case with no story to catch up on, and the supporting cast changes over the years.
