Sister Boniface Series 2 Ep 1 – Sister Boniface / LORNA WATSONYou can experience Jeff Rowe's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD very soon! The official synopsis reads: “ Sister Boniface Mysteries delves into the crimes that take place in the aptly named town of Great Slaughter, where the police rely heavily on their secret weapon, Sister Boniface. As ever Father Brown is tasked with solving a string of highly puzzling cases including a food fayre to die for and a real-life crime at a crime writing festival. There's also a village rivalry that turns deadly while Father Brown and Sister Boniface become embroiled in a murder at an arts and crafts fair. Miranda Raison ( MI-5) plays Ruth Penny, a hard-nosed investigative journalist and editor of the Albion Bugle and Ami Metcalf ( Upstairs Downstairs) will play the role of Peggy Button, the young, unshakeable police constable. Sister Boniface Mysteries season 2 episode guide Set in 1960s England, the series stars Lorna Watson ( Watson & Oliver), reprising her role as nun, moped rider, wine maker and part-time forensic scientist Sister Boniface.

Slightly removed from the Father Brown timeline, the spin-off is set in the 1960s. It's a time when police forensics were still very primitive, and even simple blood tests could take days for results. “DNA” didn't exist as a term, and there was little awareness of trace evidence. The first season featured Father Brown himself, with actor Mark Williams making a cameo appearance. And then there's Sister Boniface. Hidden away in St. Vincent's Convent with a bunch of winemaking nuns, she has a genius-level IQ and a PhD in forensic science. Instead of the usual cozy detective who meddles and blunders about, she has an actual role as the official Police Scientific Advisor, working with DI Sam Gillespie and DS Felix Livingstone – and advise she does, finding mud, blood, hairs, stains, and fibres at the crime scenes. Her laboratory is far superior to anything the police have at HQ.
