The daytime TV juggernaut has pulled out all the stops for season 11, which welcomes Sylvester McCoy, Ingrid Oliver, Ian Gelder and John Light to Kembleford as guest stars. Some are more welcome than others.

If you thought that Father Brown's sparring partner, the light-fingered art aficionado Hercule Flambeau, was scheming, wait until you meet his estranged father Gabriel Hawksworth, the man who taught him everything he knows. 

And while it's wonderful to see Sister Boniface (Lorna Watson) back at St Mary's and allied with her old friend, it isn't long before she wishes she'd never set foot out of Great Slaughter.
