BBC announces return of beloved detective series with new instalment set to air next year
Series 11 began in January and with one episode airing each week on BBC One, fans will see the final instalment on Friday. It is available in full on iPlayer.
Based on the short stories by GK Chesterton about a crime-solving Catholic priest in the fictional Cotswolds village of Kembleford in the 1950s, the show pulls in 2.5 million viewers in the UK. As well as the UK it has also been viewed by audiences in US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Hungary, Poland, South Korea and Japan. Chesterton created the character more than 100 years ago as an antidote to Sherlock Holmes – while Arthur Conan Doyle’s detective relies on scientific reasoning untouched by emotion, Father Brown solves crimes with his charisma and a deep understanding of human failings.
