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 Perishing of the Pendragons', Father Brown learns to sings sea shanties, tries to control his sea sickness and finds that there is mystery afloat as a Cornish family's curse starts to unravel...
Dramatised by John Scotney and produced by Alec Reid.
