Father Brown continues this afternoon (February 17) on BBC One at 1.45pm. The episode titled The Show Must Go On follows the Kembleford Players as they stage their latest production. The group will be performing Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in honour of two villagers’ late baby daughter.

But it all goes wrong when one member is found poisoned and Inspector Sullivan (played by Tom Chambers) has to step up to and play Benedict.

Another person finds themselves arrested for the murder with Father Brown (Mark Williams) having to step in to stop a miscarriage of justice.

There’s also a shady figure in the village who has been known for their underhand dealings which have left others out of pocket.

Mysterious connections will also be uncovered by Father Brown as the case becomes more tricky than he could have imagined.

Also, Mrs Devine (Claudie Blakley) is forced to go from understudy to lead after the main star breaks their leg during rehearsals.

Speaking about the episode, actress Blakey said about her character: “I love where she’s come from. There’s a real lovely depth to her. She drove a massive ambulance in the war.

“I have actually driven one of those, and they’re very difficult to drive. So Mrs Devine is this woman who drove around the streets at 90 miles an hour in a huge ambulance during wartime.

“Then she looked after her husband when he got injured in the war. She had to stop and give everything up and become his carer.

“But she found her outlet in amateur dramatics. That’s where she escaped from being his carer in the war. But then he died, and she was completely on her own.”
