Montague is host to a ball wishing in the new year, guest of honour is distinguished MP Sir Charles, Father Brown and co investigate a tragic death.
I wonder if those behind the scenes were expecting this to be the final episode of all, it has that final feel. Everyone has assembled for this hurrah, Sid, Bunty, Lady Felicia even Flambeau.
On the plus side, it looks great, I loved the costumes, the setting, for afternoon TV this looked pretty lavish. The killer's costume in particular looked striking, even had a horror vibe to it, you could picture that in a gory slasher film.
Maybe it was a little bit of a Mug's eyeful, with so much focus on the characters, I felt the story lacked a little something. It was good, it wasn't a wow. So much build up, all the regulars, the stage was set, the story didn't wow me.
Little Britain had Margaret, Hi de Hi had Miss Cathcart, and Father Brown had Monty, characters we all knew, but never saw, I'm not sure how I feel about meeting Monty, I'm not too sure he met the incredibly high expectations, not sure anyone could have.
Hopefully series ten will land.
7/10.
