8pm Saturday FATHER BROWN Crime Drama
The Wrong Shape - A poet hangs himself in his locked conservatory. Father Brown thinks that it was not a suicide, but a murder.
Soon after his poetry recital, Leonard Quinton is found hanging in the conservatory. When Father Brown realizes that he could not have committed suicide, the search begins for a murderer.
Poet Leonard Quinton invites Father Brown to the house where he lives with his long-suffering wife Martha and young mistress Violet. His spiritual adviser, Umesh has told Leonard he will soon die, and he wants the priest to look after Martha. Shortly after Violet threatened him for not leaving Martha for her, Leonard is found hanged and Umesh, his sole heir, is arrested. Martha tells Father Brown she and Leonard had a baby, born disfigured, who died and they buried in the garden, the event which she believes drove them apart. Martha's admirer Harris then admits to killing Leonard Quinton - though Father Brown knows better.
