Featured review
Green for Danger
After a motoring accident, Lady Felicia and Mrs McCarthy Landon hospital, leaving a tyrannical replacement housekeeper, Mrs Steele to look after the Father at the presbytery.
I absolutely loved this episode, about ten minutes in I said it had similarities to the wonderful Green for Danger from 1947 starring Alistair Sim, anyone that's seen that would I'm sure agree that the plot is very similar. I hadn't enjoyed the previous episode (The Daughter of Autolycus ) so much as I felt like they were sending the show up a little, the use of humour in this episode however was smart and funny, it really boosted the episode. The humour was well balanced by the level of threat, dead nurses in cupboards, Mrs McCarthy at death's door.
It has some excellent moments, including a real scare, and a grim discovery. This is Father Brown at its very best.
If I had one criticism it would be that I found Jack Deam a little over the top in this one, I've warmed to his character in recent times, but here he was just irritating.
Cracking, 9/10
