Father Brown season 10 full season guide: plot, cast and more

Father Brown season 10 is now available to watch in full on BBC iPlayer in the UK and BritBox in the US.

So, you'll have absolutely no problems catching up with Mark Williams as the crime-solving priest.

Based on the character made famous from GK Chesterton's short stories, the 10th series once again sees Father Brown solving a string of devilishly difficult murders. Is Kembleford now more dangerous than Midsomer we wonder?!

Speaking about the success of the show, Harry Potter legend Mark previously said: "I think it is about storytelling. You are being told a story every episode — and that’s what people love. It's like reading a comfortable novel. There isn't a lot of urban anger, or zombies, or dragons. The series are an antidote to what most boxsets are about nowadays."

When asked why he loves playing the character, he replied: "He is very interested. He does not judge people — he is interested in everything, and that makes him interesting. He is not interested in hypocrisy, or complicity, and not interested in people who are locked into their own worlds, as he finds that abhorrent.

"It is good that he can change delight to anger. He is an open person. The thing I most like about the process is the guests, the actors. You get new people every week and I love watching what they do with the script. Remember it better than me mostly."

Here's everything we know about season 10... and don't forget Father Brown season 11 is on its way!
