‘Father Brown’: S02.E01-E10. “Series Two”
Do you remember Father Brown: Series Two?
Father Brown’s second series, premiering with the Matt Carter-directed episode The Ghost in the Machine, begins the year off with a seriously sinister tale. The episode, with a story written by series co-creator Rachel Flowerday, begins with an unusual request.
Charlotte McKinley, convinced that her sister Elsbeth Granger is haunting her house, calls Father Brown out in the middle of the night to conduct an exorcism. Father Brown, mainly because he doesn’t believe in ghosts, flatly refuses.
Elsbeth, missing for years, was believed murdered by Charlotte’s husband Victor. This titbit of information, not that the St Mary’s parish secretary is one for malicious gossip, comes from Bridgette McCarthy.
Victor hadn’t been prosecuted because there was no evidence tying him to her disappearance. Lady Felicia Montague, contrary to everything Mrs McCarthy believes, thinks Elsbeth simply eloped.
