Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Village mystery fans who want a decent, mildly put-upon clergyman instead of a brooding detective will settle in fast. Audrey, his mother, turns up unannounced at the rectory he shares with two dachshunds and says exactly what she thinks. Amanda Redman plays her blunt and cheeky against Matthew Lewis's polite exasperation, and their bickering keeps the murder feeling gentle.
Before you start
It plays as one mystery told in relaxed, chapter-like steps, and the vicar's partnership with the detective sergeant builds gradually rather than clicking at once.
