Additional Project Info

This is the second of seven spec-scripts that I have written for the BBC comedy-drama series "Father Brown". There are one or two callbacks in it to my first Father Brown spec "The Dark Lantern" (which is also posted on my Coverfly profile), and also various callbacks to running jokes (such as Mrs. McCarthy's "Award-winning strawberry scones) and character developments from past episodes of the series itself; but I believe this story is enough of a stand-alone that even someone who's not as familiar with the show or its regular cast of characters should be able to pick up on everything right away. (I also used the British spelling of many words that differ from the US spellings since this is a British/UK -based show, and written with the intent of trying to sell it to the BBC).
