As we wait for news on a new series of Father Brown, we're given a very unusual spinoff series. Having appeared and impressed in just one episode, the bespectacled, enthusiastic Sister Boniface gets her own series.
It is definitely worth a watch, don't go expecting anything too serious, or heavy, it's arguably lighter than even Father Brown.
It's light, it's funny, it looks beautiful, some wonderful guest actors, and a nice regular cast. I was particularly happy to see Belinda Lang, what a class act she is, the prickly housekeeper is as far from Bill Porter as you can get.
It really does develop as it progresses, I enjoyed the first episode very much, and the last few in particular.
I would have loved it if Mark Williams had appeared in a couple of episodes, that would have been a nice touch. His presence was very much welcome.
Roll on Series 2.
Charming, 8/10.
