A prestige project for ATV, based on the novels of G.K.Chesterton. Despite Grade's insistence that Kenneth More should take the lead rôle, the star didn't feel he had an image that was priestly enough. Grade telephoned the actor every day for almost a year, to ask, "How's Father Brown this morning?" Finally More gave in and replied: "Bless you, my son." the music was composed by Jack Parnell.
