Buried on daytime TV
Why do the BBC show this isn the middle of the day? It deserves to be shown at a later time when more people can watch it.
shareBecause it's so bloody awful?.. Riddled with inconsistencies and mistakes in ritual procedure (see elsewhere), plots either newly-written (how egotistical does a BBC scriptwriter have to be when he thinks he can write better than G.K.Chesterton), or so drastically altered as to be unrecognizable... The wrong language, the wrong attitude, the wrong sentimentality, dreadful costumes, and finally, Mark Williams in the title role-he used to be able to act, but whispering softly and gazing misty-eyed into the middle distance does not an actor make!.. Having watched him recently in both this and the floundering (even more) awful mess that was Blandings, perhaps he should just hang up his boots... Watch Kenneth More in the 1974 TV version instead, or, even better, the late, great Alec Guinness in the original film...
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Ahahaha! SUCH outdated snobbery! Of course it should have a better time slot in the early evening.
I absolutely hate book snobs always whinging like a bunch of cry babies "wahhh it's not like that in the books!" *toys thrown out of pram*. They act as if they wrote the originals themselves and that no new adaptions or even slight tweaks should ever be attempted by law (their own little snobby laws in their miserable heads).
Eurgh, get a life you bunch of misery guts! Father Brown is a bit of nostalgic fun and if it encourages anyone to pick up a book - that's a good thing. Give me this over Eastenders any day.
Now shurrup!
I know I am commenting on an old post, but why are you people who have such negative things to say about this show even on this board? Wouldn't you rather spend your time commenting on shows you actually watch? Or maybe you are masochists who dislike the show but watch it anyway??
