      Father Brown refers to "the eighth commandment" obviously meaning the admonition not to steal. This is the eighth commandment in the King James (Protestant) Bible, but the Catholic Bible counts commandments differently. Father Brown should have referred to the seventh commandment because, in the Catholic Bible, the eighth commandment is against bearing false witness.

    Father Brown has Flambeau and his daughter to contend with.
    It comes to something when even the criminals are calling on the talents of Flambeau. The appearance of John Light always elevates an episode, so this should be a classic, right?....

    Well, it could have been, and should have been, it boasts a really smart plot, one worthy of a Jonathan Creek episode, it is both smart and imaginative. It has some fantastic production values, and of course the return of the sublime John Light (Flambeau.) Unfortunately at times, it feels like they were sending it up, with dodgy accents, dodgy wigs and an appalling car scene, where Flambeau and Marianne are clearly at a green screen.

    Roger Ashton Griffiths and Colin McFarlane, both actors I'm incredibly fond of just don't perform here. Let's hope Gina Bramhill returns as Marianne, there's a fine femme fatale in the making.

    This episode is a bit of a misfire, for me it just doesn't work, it should have been a bit more serious, it's just a bit silly.

    A mixed bag. 6/10
