One of my Absolute Favorite Episodes
5 April 2023
I am so thankful to the cast, crew, writers, directors, producers, and BBC for this amazing show!!

Thank you all!

The Owl of Minerva stands out as one of my favorite episodes. It has everything you could ask from conspiracy to twists and turns that will surprise and intrigue all. A large conspiracy network is exposed by Father Brown's sleuthing while Inspector Sullivan is on the run.

The character of Jock Hamilton is very endearing, despite his unscrupulous behavior, and overall clever use of sodium pentathol in their discussion.

In a later episode (Sacrifice of Tantalus - Season 7, Episode 6) - a diabetic is on the run after agreeing to testify regarding Police Corruption. Inspector Sullivan (acting under the name Inspector Trueman) later refers back to this episode when he returns from Scotland Yard to investigate this corruption using a "trick" he learned from one of his predecessors (the Inspector Trueman from this episode).

Excellent episode all around!
