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 Mistake of the Machine', Father Brown visits his friend, a prison vicar, and learns about Oscar Ryan and Drugger Doyle. A suspect is locked away, but has the prison governor got the right man?
Dramatised by John Scotney and produced by Alec Reid.
