The Blue Cross
8 August 2017
The finale to series one of Father Brown introduces Flambeau. The super villain who constantly crosses sword with the good padre.

When Bishop Talbot turns up concerned that the prized Blue Cross made out from Welsh gold is at risk from being stolen, Father Brown decides that he will transport the cross himself by train much to the annoyance of Inspector Valentine.

This begins a cat and mouse game as Father Brown hopes to lure the notorious thief Flambeau out into the open. Among the passengers in the train carriage is the posh Justin de Vey, disabled Mr Dawson and Military man Captain Flynn just off to Korea.

Once he is exposed, there is a lot of verbal sparring between Flambeau and Father Brown. Flambeau has begrudging respect for the padre, but Father Brown wants him to atone for his sins, he sees a troubled man.

A nice little mystery and fitting end to a good first series.
