Andrew Sachs stars as the famous clerical sleuth in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation.
With his black hat, huge umbrella, unwordly simplicity and 'beaming but breathless geniality', Father Brown is one of fiction's best-loved amateur detectives. Short and tatty, but with the wisdom and insight to unravel the most wayward of criminal minds, he has entertained generations.
In 'The Hammer of God', Father Brown discovers that retribution from above is not always divine. Can the clerical sleuth discern the evil in the heart of good?
Dramatised by John Scotney and produced by Alec Reid.
