The Sister Boniface Mysteries Series 2 [DVD]

Product Information

Mark Williams says: “It’s an honour to be returning to Father Brown for an eleventh series of warmth, drama and humour, as well as sleuthing with my partners in crime solving. It’s also always a treat to film in the beautiful Cotswolds.” Britain is in the grips of the 'Big Freeze' - the worst winter on record. Sister Boniface and her fellow travellers are stranded in a train after a frozen coupling snaps, leaving the last carriages stranded in snow. When The Star of the Orient, a precious jewel, is stolen from its safe and a passenger is discovered murdered, Sister Boniface must use her exceptional detection skills to decide who among the suspects is responsible. But with little signs of rescue and a failing generator, passengers must also contend with a more pressing issue - freezing to death.

We are so excited to see our brilliant Vespa-riding nun return for more crime solving,” revealed Emma Ayech, Channel Director for Drama. There will be a total of 10 hour-long episodes in the new season. Of the re-commissioning, executive producer Will Trotter said: BBC Studios confirms that the ever popular daytime crime drama Father Brown will return for an eleventh series with filming starting in the Cotswolds. Slightly removed from the Father Brown timeline, the spin-off is set in the 1960s. It's a time when police forensics were still very primitive, and even simple blood tests could take days for results. “DNA” didn't exist as a term, and there was little awareness of trace evidence.

Great Slaughter plays host to the summer roadshow of kids’ TV show ‘Jolly Roger’, much to the annoyance of editor Dinah Morgan (Abigail Thaw).

Timbers are soon shivered however when Dinah is discovered smothered onset during a live show.
