Father Brown Stories: 1: The Blue Cross

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by G. K. Chesterton
Seven stories dramatised by John Scotney with Andrew Sachs as Father Brown and Olivier Pierre as the arch villain Flambeau
The cream of London's police force in association with France's finest detective fail to apprehend Flambeau, the master of disguise. Their suspicions fall on a tall Roman Catholic priest and they set off in vain pursuit. However it is the little English priest who seems to be behaving oddly.
(Repeated: Wed 12.27 pm)
