1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:00,967
Hey, maniacs.

2
00:00:00,967 --> 00:00:03,903
Hey, maniacs.

3
00:00:03,903 --> 00:00:05,138
What's so funny?

4
00:00:05,138 --> 00:00:05,872
I'm sorry.

5
00:00:05,872 --> 00:00:09,075
Why are we laughing already?

6
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:12,178
Oh. My brain is so broken.

7
00:00:12,245 --> 00:00:15,515
I make these weird connections
in my brain. Oh.

8
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:18,585
So I haven't told you about this.

9
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:19,886
This whole week.

10
00:00:19,886 --> 00:00:24,724
You and I have been talking about
Father Brown and doing this remix episode.

11
00:00:24,791 --> 00:00:28,561
Because this is the remix of season one,
Episode six, The Bride of Christ.

12
00:00:28,595 --> 00:00:30,630
Sister Tumble Drunk. Yes.

13
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:34,534
And for some reason,
I've been thinking about Bain.

14
00:00:34,667 --> 00:00:37,470
Like Bain from The Dark Knight Rises.

15
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:41,141
Bain, The Tom Hardy character
who wears the mask.

16
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:43,243
We lost half of our audience.

17
00:00:43,243 --> 00:00:44,244
No, no.

18
00:00:44,244 --> 00:00:47,981
Already bear with

19
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:48,915
my head.

20
00:00:48,915 --> 00:00:49,883
Oh, he.

21
00:00:49,883 --> 00:00:53,586
It's been Father Bain. Oh,

22
00:00:53,653 --> 00:00:54,654
that's it.

23
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:56,823
So I've been thinking about.

24
00:00:56,823 --> 00:00:59,893
That voice that Tom Hardy does under his.

25
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:05,331
Mask. Yeah. I'm Father Bain.

26
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:06,366
Oh, we're good.

27
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:11,704
I'm Campbell Ford's reckoning.

28
00:01:11,771 --> 00:01:15,708
No one knew who I was
before I put on the collar.

29
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:20,046
Yeah,

30
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:20,980
well, I can see

31
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:24,651
because there was lots of references to it
in the hockey game the other night.

32
00:01:24,684 --> 00:01:27,253
I could see how it came together for the.

33
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:30,990
Speak of the devil shall be Father Brown.

34
00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:33,259
You think Mrs. M is your ally?

35
00:01:33,259 --> 00:01:36,463
She is. No.

36
00:01:36,529 --> 00:01:39,899
I was born in the stars.

37
00:01:39,999 --> 00:01:41,601
Even do it.

38
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:46,072
I was born in the strawberry school.

39
00:01:46,172 --> 00:01:50,743
You were a little Scottish.

40
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:53,713
Oh. My sister is.

41
00:01:53,713 --> 00:01:56,716
Your favorite father. Being cruel.

42
00:01:56,950 --> 00:02:01,421
Or, you know, mash him up
with another supervillain if you want to.

43
00:02:01,521 --> 00:02:02,856
Oh, sweet. Yes.

44
00:02:02,856 --> 00:02:05,892
We have a remix of the Bride
of Christ, Mr.

45
00:02:05,892 --> 00:02:07,026
Tumble Dryer.

46
00:02:07,026 --> 00:02:08,027
But I had homework.

47
00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:09,562
But you had homework, which.

48
00:02:09,562 --> 00:02:12,565
Is related to Sister Tumble dryer? Yes.

49
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:13,867
I'll tie it all together.

50
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:17,904
Because as people roll, remember,
we often end our episodes

51
00:02:17,904 --> 00:02:19,405
with what a horrible movie.

52
00:02:19,405 --> 00:02:23,810
I bet Mark seen it,
which is a bad movie that some of the one

53
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:27,647
of the main characters from that episode
of whatever show we're covering

54
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:32,952
was in that they probably regret,
but that since you are such a bad movie.

55
00:02:33,019 --> 00:02:34,721
Official face. And.

56
00:02:34,721 --> 00:02:37,223
That you've probably seen it.

57
00:02:37,223 --> 00:02:42,562
So last week on the episode,
we mentioned Hysteria from 1997.

58
00:02:42,562 --> 00:02:46,766
Patrick McGoohan
I think last time, last film appearance,

59
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:51,638
which is sad that he's in,
I could not find this streaming anywhere.

60
00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:55,008
I would have paid for it if I could have,
but I only found it

61
00:02:55,008 --> 00:02:59,245
on DVD for $23
and it took 6 to 8 weeks to get it.

62
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:01,414
So you didn't get to watch history.

63
00:03:01,414 --> 00:03:02,282
Darn it.

64
00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:05,084
Then. In this episode
we mentioned two movies.

65
00:03:05,084 --> 00:03:11,958
One is The Maze from 1953, because
you talk about a Lovecraft podcast that.

66
00:03:12,058 --> 00:03:13,059
CADDELL Is. It?

67
00:03:13,059 --> 00:03:13,726
Mm hmm.

68
00:03:13,726 --> 00:03:19,132
And I had just watched the Maze at that
point in time, so I watched it again.

69
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:21,834
It is a gem of a 3D movie.

70
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:24,070
It's three D, I forgot. Yep.

71
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:28,541
It's essentially the idea is a Scottish
Lord has an engagement

72
00:03:28,541 --> 00:03:33,379
and then he breaks it because he finds out
he takes control of a Scottish castle

73
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:41,588
that has a maze in it
and a giant frog person, which is how it.

74
00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:44,224
Every maze has a giant frog person.

75
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:44,991
What? What?

76
00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:48,194
I didn't know it was based on a novel

77
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:52,532
that had Salvador
Dali illustrations in it. Wow.

78
00:03:52,532 --> 00:03:54,133
So now I want to read the novel.

79
00:03:54,133 --> 00:03:56,135
Yeah. So see the. Those.

80
00:03:56,135 --> 00:03:58,071
Because I bet you there, trippier
there in the movie.

81
00:03:58,071 --> 00:03:59,539
I bet you they are.

82
00:03:59,539 --> 00:04:01,140
And then the other movie

83
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:05,912
that we mentioned in this episode
coming up is a movie called Cross.

84
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:08,982
Now, Penny Downey, who played

85
00:04:09,182 --> 00:04:12,485
Reverend Mother
Augustine, is in this movie.

86
00:04:12,518 --> 00:04:16,122
Mm hmm. Whoa.

87
00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:18,458
Wow. This movie is bad.

88
00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:21,661
It's an Australian movie about technology.

89
00:04:21,694 --> 00:04:25,398
They it's so 1982.

90
00:04:25,498 --> 00:04:29,936
There's lots of computer screens
with bad text on them.

91
00:04:29,936 --> 00:04:32,005
That's very hard to read.

92
00:04:32,005 --> 00:04:35,008
Essentially, the character is

93
00:04:35,074 --> 00:04:39,579
the computer causes
the main character's car to crash.

94
00:04:39,646 --> 00:04:41,014
I'm not sure why.

95
00:04:41,014 --> 00:04:44,851
And because of that,
he has to live in a penthouse.

96
00:04:44,917 --> 00:04:46,085
While he's he.

97
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:47,687
While he's in a wheelchair.

98
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:51,391
And him and his nurse
have this weird, flirty relationship

99
00:04:51,391 --> 00:04:55,495
and his girlfriend
has this weird it's very strange.

100
00:04:55,662 --> 00:05:00,233
But anyway, one of the neighbors
is one of the owners of the company,

101
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:04,637
and he kills his wife
and stuffs her in the dryer.

102
00:05:04,737 --> 00:05:10,310
There's a scene in which her face is shown
like they have this really bad.

103
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:14,013
Just like tumble dryer
and just like the woman in midsummer

104
00:05:14,047 --> 00:05:15,181
or something in the dryer.

105
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:18,618
Yes, because that's
a store tumble dryer. Yes.

106
00:05:18,718 --> 00:05:21,721
They have this really bad prosthetic head
and it.

107
00:05:21,954 --> 00:05:23,723
Bounces around in the dryer.

108
00:05:23,723 --> 00:05:25,892
Only effective scene in the movie.

109
00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:28,861
You see it
before any of the other characters.

110
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:30,496
It's just spinning in the background.

111
00:05:30,496 --> 00:05:34,334
So it's just leaned up
against the dryer front.

112
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:34,901
That would make.

113
00:05:34,901 --> 00:05:36,035
So much noise.

114
00:05:36,035 --> 00:05:38,838
Like, have you ever put a pair of sneakers
in the dryer?

115
00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:41,841
No matter how many times
you put it with its.

116
00:05:41,974 --> 00:05:44,844
Body in the dryer. You don't put it. On.

117
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:51,651
So then then he puts the head in a paper
bag and he's taking it downstairs.

118
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:53,186
And the nurse finds out. Does he?

119
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:55,521
Does he dry it for a reason.

120
00:05:55,521 --> 00:05:58,524
No, I think justified in your character

121
00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:01,427
but there's the head peeks

122
00:06:01,427 --> 00:06:05,298
out of the paper bag through this open
flap.

123
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:08,301
I'm like, Dude,
get a paper bag with that or rip it.

124
00:06:08,534 --> 00:06:10,903
Peekaboo.

125
00:06:11,003 --> 00:06:12,839
So then what's in the bag?

126
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,308
In What's the. Bag?

127
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:17,176
Of course, it ends really weird.

128
00:06:17,176 --> 00:06:23,716
And is I do not know, do not know why
this movie is called Cross Cart.

129
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:25,985
It has more to do with computer

130
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:30,089
audio, strangely enough, than it does
computer crosstalk.

131
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,325
Like, I don't. It's very strange.

132
00:06:32,325 --> 00:06:35,695
I don't often ask those kinds of questions
to this kind of movie.

133
00:06:35,762 --> 00:06:37,630
Don't expect it make sense.

134
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:38,598
I mean, come on.

135
00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:42,835
It's very got a head in a dryer
that then goes into a paper bag.

136
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:45,338
It's the peekaboo head in the paper bag.

137
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:48,641
Well, that leads us to this episode.

138
00:06:48,641 --> 00:06:52,678
That is the bride of Christ, Sister
Tumble dryer

139
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:57,850
Season one Episode six
I believe it was originally Episode 138.

140
00:06:57,984 --> 00:06:59,252
Stay tuned till the end.

141
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:15,735
We've got some more special content.

142
00:07:15,835 --> 00:07:16,702
Hey, maniac.

143
00:07:16,702 --> 00:07:18,504
Hey, maniacs.

144
00:07:18,504 --> 00:07:20,606
It's Mystery Maniac.

145
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:26,612
Mystery Maniacs is a comedy Recap podcast
dedicated to British TV mystery.

146
00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,047
It's all we watch anyway.

147
00:07:28,047 --> 00:07:32,185
While we watch all sorts of stuff each
week, we dig into an episode of the show,

148
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:35,621
including the murders, the mayhem,
the loonies and everything else we love.

149
00:07:35,621 --> 00:07:37,990
Oh, there's so much in this episode.

150
00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:39,459
Two Loves This week.

151
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,294
We're covering Father Brown.

152
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:45,698
Season one, Episode six
The Bride of Crime.

153
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:48,468
The Bride of Christ Compels You.

154
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,237
Get yet another Exorcist reference.

155
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:54,240
I got it out of my system
and at least once.

156
00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:56,075
Absolutely.

157
00:07:56,075 --> 00:07:59,846
What if your children are old enough
to keep their jobs?

158
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:02,715
They're old enough to listen
to this podcast. Really?

159
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:04,116
Yeah. Oh, I'm not sure about that.

160
00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:07,587
I don't know.
I guess we'll see. We'll see.

161
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:08,187
Okay.

162
00:08:08,187 --> 00:08:10,823
A little housekeeping before we dive
in. Yep.

163
00:08:10,823 --> 00:08:13,860
Next week for our fourth episode.

164
00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:16,095
Of Father. Brown. Father Brown? Yep.

165
00:08:16,095 --> 00:08:17,797
We're going to do something
a little bit different.

166
00:08:17,797 --> 00:08:22,935
Each of us has chosen our favorite of the
original Father Brown television In.

167
00:08:22,969 --> 00:08:26,339
1974, Potato Vision in color.

168
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:27,673
Craziness.

169
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:30,943
And we're going to pitch him
to see which one's crazy.

170
00:08:30,977 --> 00:08:34,347
Now, these are available on
in the US on Britbox

171
00:08:34,380 --> 00:08:36,883
and might be available on Britbox
in the UK as well.

172
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:38,551
They are available on YouTube.

173
00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:42,688
If you put it in the right search words
and don't watch them in Russian.

174
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:46,826
Yes, there's only 13 episodes
of the original Father Brown, so

175
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,962
the one that I am going to present
next week is called.

176
00:08:49,962 --> 00:08:52,865
The Arrow of Heaven.

177
00:08:52,865 --> 00:08:57,169
And I will tell you that it features
a bunch of crazy Americans

178
00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:59,505
living in a compound with a moat.

179
00:08:59,505 --> 00:09:03,442
Yes. Complete with a patriarch that looks
like Colonel Sanders and a daughter.

180
00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:07,346
The moat is always.
A plane. Ride the tower.

181
00:09:07,413 --> 00:09:08,881
It is nuts.

182
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:09,549
It's a.

183
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:11,551
Weird set. Once again, very.

184
00:09:11,551 --> 00:09:12,618
Near the barracks.

185
00:09:12,618 --> 00:09:17,423
And I'm going to cover the secret garden,
which takes place in a secret garden.

186
00:09:17,423 --> 00:09:20,626
But there's a decapitation. Yes.

187
00:09:20,726 --> 00:09:22,395
It's like pedal to the metal. Crazy.

188
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:25,765
I think it actually takes place in France,
don't get me wrong.

189
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:28,968
But like,
I think it takes place in France.

190
00:09:28,968 --> 00:09:30,136
That's where people get beheaded.

191
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:33,539
And there's a judge
who is upsetting people.

192
00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:36,375
And he may or may not,
I forget. Off with his head.

193
00:09:36,375 --> 00:09:37,243
Off with his. Head.

194
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,377
So that's next week.

195
00:09:38,377 --> 00:09:43,816
Yes. Then in October, it's
movie season, movie October.

196
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:47,420
So we are each
we have each chosen our favorite Agatha

197
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:52,191
Christie Halloween
themed episode to present in October.

198
00:09:52,224 --> 00:09:58,064
I am going to start us off
in October with Halloween party.

199
00:09:58,164 --> 00:09:59,498
I love that one.

200
00:09:59,498 --> 00:10:03,069
Which is Snap's Season 12 Episode two.

201
00:10:03,069 --> 00:10:06,072
It has Ariadne
Oliver played by Zoe Wanamaker.

202
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:09,408
And they kill a child.
They kill the child.

203
00:10:09,408 --> 00:10:12,378
And that is I love that.

204
00:10:12,378 --> 00:10:14,180
It's so good. So good.

205
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:19,085
And you and I am going to cover
Miss Marple.

206
00:10:19,151 --> 00:10:23,356
Season five Episode one The Pale Horse

207
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:27,059
got some folklore,
which is my favorite thing.

208
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:30,129
The Pale Horse is creepy
no matter what version you watch.

209
00:10:30,262 --> 00:10:33,499
But this one who has the newest
Miss Marple in it?

210
00:10:33,532 --> 00:10:34,367
Yeah, they.

211
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:37,069
They cranked it. Up.
This is not the one with Rufus.

212
00:10:37,069 --> 00:10:41,974
It's not as creepy as Rufus on Pale Horse,
but it's really darn good.

213
00:10:42,041 --> 00:10:43,042
It is.

214
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:46,579
Then for our third October
episode, we're going to.

215
00:10:46,579 --> 00:10:47,947
Ask you for input.

216
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:51,050
Yeah, we're going to ask you to vote
for what you think will.

217
00:10:51,083 --> 00:10:53,619
Make it a little poll
and send it to the mailing list.

218
00:10:53,619 --> 00:10:58,758
Of all the British murder shows,
which is your favorite Halloween episode.

219
00:10:58,758 --> 00:11:01,794
And we'll give you a little list
and let you vote for which one

220
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:05,831
you like best or add one to the list
if you know of one that we didn't miss.

221
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:07,066
I'll go even further.

222
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:10,603
I'll say if you're on the mailing list
to get that poll sooner.

223
00:11:10,636 --> 00:11:12,304
Ooh la la. So.

224
00:11:12,304 --> 00:11:13,606
So that's going to be October.

225
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:16,008
In the meantime, we also have new merge.

226
00:11:16,008 --> 00:11:18,944
New merge is up in the store. Yep.

227
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:21,380
And the store's been all rebranded
and everything.

228
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:24,383
Mystery maniac, Strange Maniacs.

229
00:11:24,617 --> 00:11:30,022
And now through the end of November,
barring any other new disasters,

230
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:31,490
while there's so much going on
in the world right

231
00:11:31,490 --> 00:11:35,394
now, all of the proceeds from merch sales
will go to Heart to Heart International,

232
00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:40,366
which is currently focusing on aid
to people in Puerto Rico. Yes.

233
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:42,368
Who have been hit because of Fiona.

234
00:11:42,368 --> 00:11:44,870
By the way,
all my Canadian friends who are.

235
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:45,871
On the East Coast, East.

236
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:48,874
Coast stay safe and swim.

237
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:51,677
Hundreds of thousands of people out
without power right now.

238
00:11:51,677 --> 00:11:54,413
Yeah, we were listening to CBC Halifax
this morning.

239
00:11:54,413 --> 00:11:55,881
Yeah, they were having trouble as.

240
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:59,819
It went off the air,
like we were listening to Headline News

241
00:11:59,819 --> 00:12:02,221
and then it went off the air
in the middle of it. Absolutely.

242
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:03,856
So stay safe out there.

243
00:12:03,856 --> 00:12:05,357
Wherever you are in the world.

244
00:12:05,357 --> 00:12:06,425
We're thinking about you.

245
00:12:06,425 --> 00:12:07,326
Absolutely.

246
00:12:07,326 --> 00:12:10,696
Go buy a t shirt
with the new logo on it. Yes.

247
00:12:10,896 --> 00:12:11,897
To support the folks.

248
00:12:11,897 --> 00:12:16,302
So if you're new to our merch,
we have the mystery mania,

249
00:12:16,402 --> 00:12:19,638
the Midsummer Maniacs merch,
and then we have Mystery Maniacs merch.

250
00:12:19,638 --> 00:12:25,111
What we do is any money that we make from
the merchandise that you purchase, either

251
00:12:25,111 --> 00:12:29,281
stickers or mugs or T-shirts
all available.

252
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:31,751
We match that
and then give it to a charity

253
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:33,753
because we're not in this to make money.

254
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,254
We're in this to help people.

255
00:12:35,254 --> 00:12:40,459
And so, yeah, we helped the World
Central Kitchen last year as young people.

256
00:12:40,459 --> 00:12:41,227
In the Ukraine.

257
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:42,228
Meals on Wheels.

258
00:12:42,228 --> 00:12:44,463
I shouldn't say that it's not the Ukraine.

259
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:47,166
We we fed people on the border of Ukraine.

260
00:12:47,166 --> 00:12:48,534
Yes, the border of Ukraine.

261
00:12:48,534 --> 00:12:52,671
Whenever I hear people say that
Ukraine, it's that's the Soviet thinking.

262
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:55,875
Yes. The only other thing I want to say is

263
00:12:55,875 --> 00:13:00,446
if you see merchandise on any other site
that is not spread

264
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:05,084
shirt or spread shop,
it is not our merchandise.

265
00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:06,218
Don't buy it.

266
00:13:06,218 --> 00:13:11,290
Yes, these Redbubble jerk
face people keep swiping our stuff.

267
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:14,593
I just found a cease and desist note
today.

268
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:18,397
This week it happens to so many people.

269
00:13:18,464 --> 00:13:20,432
Yeah. Just buy from our shop.

270
00:13:20,432 --> 00:13:21,634
Yeah. It's all.

271
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:23,803
It's on every post. I post everywhere.

272
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:24,203
If you buy.

273
00:13:24,203 --> 00:13:26,305
From our shop,
then you know the proceeds are going to go

274
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:28,073
to a good cause
and we're going to match it

275
00:13:28,073 --> 00:13:30,209
and we'll tell you
how much we wound up donating.

276
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:33,979
And we even usually post a picture
of the proof of the donations.

277
00:13:33,979 --> 00:13:36,015
So you know for sure
that's where your money went.

278
00:13:36,015 --> 00:13:37,383
That's what we're. Doing.

279
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:38,150
Yeah. Okay.

280
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:40,986
Are you ready to talk.
About the bride of Christ?

281
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:45,524
The Bride of Christ, which may be our most
controversial episode?

282
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:47,259
We have two things to talk about.

283
00:13:47,259 --> 00:13:50,262
Well, almost three things
that might be controversial.

284
00:13:50,262 --> 00:13:52,131
I'll say one thing
that's not controversial.

285
00:13:52,131 --> 00:13:55,134
Sister Boniface
is definitely in this episode. Yes.

286
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:56,635
The other one just saying.

287
00:13:56,635 --> 00:14:02,274
I'm just saying I disagree wholeheartedly.

288
00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:04,210
I'm on the case.

289
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:09,515
I have sent out messages to our friend
network.

290
00:14:09,648 --> 00:14:12,518
Well, I'm right. You're wrong. La, la la.

291
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:13,219
We'll see.

292
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:16,655
Are usually. Broadcast there.

293
00:14:16,722 --> 00:14:19,391
You're going to be like,
I can't believe you went to.

294
00:14:19,391 --> 00:14:21,093
Did all that.

295
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:25,531
You gave broadcast
date 21st of January to 2013.

296
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:28,801
Like I said, they kind of broadcast
these all within a two week

297
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:32,771
period, each other big by directed
by Ian Barber and written by Jude Tindle,

298
00:14:32,972 --> 00:14:36,375
who I am trying to contact as we speak.

299
00:14:36,375 --> 00:14:39,078
Lorna Watson is not in that episode.

300
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:44,483
I cannot definitively say she is
or isn't because I checked her production.

301
00:14:44,483 --> 00:14:47,953
Skills and.

302
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:49,688
She is in this one though.

303
00:14:49,688 --> 00:14:51,390
She is in this one.

304
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:55,928
Anyways, we're starting with Latin nuns
in Latin and singing.

305
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:57,730
Yes, some of these getting married.

306
00:14:57,730 --> 00:14:59,298
Yes to God.

307
00:14:59,298 --> 00:15:03,168
Yes. Has ever weirded you out
that their brides of Christ know.

308
00:15:03,369 --> 00:15:05,971
Okay. It makes sense to me though.

309
00:15:05,971 --> 00:15:09,141
This is the first time
I've seen what I knew

310
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:12,211
sort of happened
during a novitiate wedding.

311
00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:17,249
They the ceremony where they go
from novitiate to being real nuns.

312
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:19,652
There's several stages
before this, by the way.

313
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:21,220
Yeah, I knew that.

314
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:23,222
That it was a marriage to Christ.

315
00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:24,556
I knew that was kind of the metaphor,

316
00:15:24,556 --> 00:15:28,527
but I did not know that in some orders
they wore wedding dresses for that.

317
00:15:28,527 --> 00:15:31,964
Yeah, And apparently,
it's far more common than I knew.

318
00:15:31,997 --> 00:15:36,402
Complete was a part of the ceremony
where they go behind a screen

319
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:40,739
and their sister nuns help them change
from that into their first habit

320
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:41,941
and they come back out.

321
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:45,144
Oh, so they go in wearing white
and they come out wearing black.

322
00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:47,813
What does that say about marriage,
especially to Christ?

323
00:15:47,813 --> 00:15:52,017
I was just kind of excited that they
they get to look pretty.

324
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:55,888
Mm. You know, the last time
they're wearing layman's clothes,

325
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:57,656
they get they get to look nice.

326
00:15:57,656 --> 00:15:58,891
I can see that in general.

327
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:00,926
They don't really get to choose
the wedding gown.

328
00:16:00,926 --> 00:16:05,998
If you're in an order where they do
this, it's a very modest dress

329
00:16:05,998 --> 00:16:08,267
and they probably have a few to choose
from.

330
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:11,236
You might be able to bring your own, but
it's going to have to set those criteria.

331
00:16:11,236 --> 00:16:15,040
This is St Agnes Convent and we can assume

332
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,043
that this is in or near Camelford.

333
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:20,579
Yes, because Father Brown is the curate.

334
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:22,314
Yeah, he is the priest.

335
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:25,284
He is the man
who is allowed to come in there. Yes.

336
00:16:25,284 --> 00:16:28,020
He gives them communion on Sundays
and stuff like that.

337
00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:31,790
All the clues are right here
in this very first scene.

338
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:34,793
This is one of the things I like
about Father Brown, as opposed to

339
00:16:34,793 --> 00:16:38,564
mid-summer, is there's almost always
a very small cast. Yes.

340
00:16:38,597 --> 00:16:42,301
Like they're all very chocolate box
kind of stories where.

341
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:44,737
And this works
because a convent kind of works like.

342
00:16:44,737 --> 00:16:46,939
Yeah, you've got a handful of people.

343
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:48,640
You don't have a whole lot of like, well,

344
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,244
this is that person's
mother, father, cousin, sister.

345
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:55,080
And they used to have a business
with that person,

346
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,916
but they broke up and went to school
with that and like, there's none of that.

347
00:16:57,916 --> 00:17:01,887
And there's a handful of people now,
and right away we see familiar faces.

348
00:17:01,887 --> 00:17:05,324
Oh, my God. Selena, Selena, Selena.

349
00:17:05,324 --> 00:17:09,628
Selena Caddell, who you can remember
because one of her Midsomer characters

350
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:10,963
is also named Shadow.

351
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:12,131
Yes. Yes.

352
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:15,667
Still a shadow in the original killings
at Badger's Drift.

353
00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:18,303
She's right
there from the beginning. Really.

354
00:17:18,303 --> 00:17:23,042
This podcast is could be
the Selene of Cordell, but that's.

355
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:25,911
The second midsummer
she's in as Midsomer Life,

356
00:17:25,911 --> 00:17:29,782
where she gets killed in the hotel
in the industrial dryer.

357
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:30,315
Yeah.

358
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:33,752
So I will refer to her
as Sister Tumble dryer.

359
00:17:33,752 --> 00:17:35,921
And she is.

360
00:17:35,988 --> 00:17:37,823
Because I love that scene.

361
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:40,626
You just see her face
going around and around.

362
00:17:40,626 --> 00:17:41,460
Yeah.

363
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:43,996
And we totally figured out what it was.

364
00:17:43,996 --> 00:17:45,964
She's been in everything.

365
00:17:45,964 --> 00:17:47,099
Oh, yeah. Lots and lots of.

366
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:49,368
Queens of mystery lately.

367
00:17:49,368 --> 00:17:52,471
She's really well-known for Doc Martin.

368
00:17:52,538 --> 00:17:53,906
People know her from that.

369
00:17:53,906 --> 00:17:56,041
Yeah, and she's awesome in that, too.

370
00:17:56,041 --> 00:17:59,044
But she's just been in so many things.

371
00:17:59,044 --> 00:18:00,679
So she's Sister Gregory.

372
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:04,983
And then we have the Reverend Mother
Augustine, played by Penny Downey.

373
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:06,752
She's not been in midsummer.

374
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:07,820
No. Shocking.

375
00:18:07,820 --> 00:18:10,089
Or somebody who's not been in a midsummer.

376
00:18:10,089 --> 00:18:10,989
In midsummer.

377
00:18:10,989 --> 00:18:12,424
But she has been in something

378
00:18:12,424 --> 00:18:16,428
I really, really like that
people may not have heard of.

379
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:18,330
And it's a podcast, actually.

380
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:19,031
Okay.

381
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:22,634
From the BBC
and you can get it on BBC sounds wherever

382
00:18:22,634 --> 00:18:25,838
you are in the world, and it's called
the Lovecraft investigation.

383
00:18:25,871 --> 00:18:29,908
So and she was on a season
called the Case of Charles

384
00:18:29,908 --> 00:18:33,812
Dexter Ward and I really liked it.

385
00:18:34,046 --> 00:18:37,182
Oh, though
I will tell you that this whole series,

386
00:18:37,182 --> 00:18:40,853
the Lovecraft investigations,
don't don't listen to it.

387
00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:43,622
If you're jumpy.

388
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:45,491
Oh, or jumpy if.

389
00:18:45,491 --> 00:18:50,095
You're if you're jumpy, just know that
because this is the one

390
00:18:50,195 --> 00:18:53,198
that I was listening to in the garage
so many times

391
00:18:53,232 --> 00:18:56,235
when one of the kids would come
out and I'd be like. Oh my

392
00:18:56,335 --> 00:19:00,539
God. Because
it has the kind of environmental sound.

393
00:19:00,539 --> 00:19:03,509
So if you get headphones on,
you hear things from different directions.

394
00:19:03,509 --> 00:19:05,477
And then a kid
would tap me on the shoulder

395
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:08,814
and I would like almost drum them to death
because they shocked me.

396
00:19:08,914 --> 00:19:13,519
Speaking of weird stuff that happens
in October, I get in this groove

397
00:19:13,685 --> 00:19:18,390
and I definitely am in this groove
now where I start watching these bad.

398
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:22,060
Horror movies and.

399
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:26,064
You bring up Lovecraft because we watched
this week, we watched it.

400
00:19:26,064 --> 00:19:29,134
Sarah to sit through
at least half of this movie

401
00:19:29,134 --> 00:19:34,606
called The Maze from 1953,
which was about this Scottish Lord

402
00:19:34,706 --> 00:19:38,210
who he's engaged,
and then he breaks his engagement,

403
00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:41,313
he grows old really quick, and there's
weirdness that happened in this castle.

404
00:19:41,346 --> 00:19:45,050
It's shot in Bizarre
Land. It's a 3D movie.

405
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:46,418
That is weird.

406
00:19:46,418 --> 00:19:48,620
Yes, I do watch them all the time.

407
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:50,589
It has rubber backs on fishing line.

408
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:53,592
Going, oh, into the camera. Yeah.

409
00:19:53,792 --> 00:19:55,427
It's that bad.

410
00:19:55,427 --> 00:19:59,198
That movie took a left
turn in the last 5 minutes.

411
00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:02,401
Like, wow. I didn't understand it. At all.

412
00:20:02,401 --> 00:20:06,338
Did not expect what I saw
in the last 5 minutes of that movie.

413
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:07,272
That's fantastic.

414
00:20:07,272 --> 00:20:08,173
And so.

415
00:20:08,173 --> 00:20:10,075
I loved every minute of. It.

416
00:20:10,075 --> 00:20:11,243
There's a weird.

417
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:12,344
What's it called?

418
00:20:12,344 --> 00:20:13,679
It's called The Maze.

419
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:16,348
Just in case people want. 1953.

420
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:21,286
And then I actually was like, Oh, so this
this was made during the time.

421
00:20:21,286 --> 00:20:23,622
That father, Grandfather. Brown
takes place.

422
00:20:23,622 --> 00:20:26,291
That explains a lot. Yes.

423
00:20:26,391 --> 00:20:27,392
It does.

424
00:20:27,392 --> 00:20:31,797
Now, in spring time, traveling
Sister Boniface, but we'll get to that.

425
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:35,067
Also,
the third important nun in the convent.

426
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:36,235
Yes, Sister Paul.

427
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,636
Woo woo!

428
00:20:37,636 --> 00:20:40,038
She's played by Roberta Taylor. Yes.

429
00:20:40,038 --> 00:20:41,406
Now don't hate Roberta.

430
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:44,343
No, she is super nasty in this part.

431
00:20:44,343 --> 00:20:46,411
She gets killed right away. So it's okay.

432
00:20:46,411 --> 00:20:47,646
It is. It is.

433
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:52,351
What did you recognize
Roberta Taylor from anywhere recently?

434
00:20:52,351 --> 00:20:53,385
Not recently.

435
00:20:53,385 --> 00:20:55,387
She's in the witches.
I know. She's in the woods.

436
00:20:55,387 --> 00:20:58,023
Yeah, she's in the 1990, which is?

437
00:20:58,023 --> 00:20:59,725
She plays the chef of the hotel.

438
00:20:59,725 --> 00:21:03,629
Yeah, that's the witches with Anjelica
Houston, based on the Roald Dahl

439
00:21:03,795 --> 00:21:05,097
kind is so scary.

440
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:07,132
That's right. That's where she's from.

441
00:21:07,132 --> 00:21:07,866
I recognize.

442
00:21:07,866 --> 00:21:08,533
Shakespeare.

443
00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:11,036
Anne Hathaway,
which. Is all over this thing.

444
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:13,138
Oh, yeah. Oh, we're going to get there.

445
00:21:13,138 --> 00:21:13,472
Yeah.

446
00:21:13,472 --> 00:21:16,341
She plays Gloria Fontaine,
who's the costume designer.

447
00:21:16,341 --> 00:21:16,908
And she.

448
00:21:16,908 --> 00:21:19,978
She's the older lady
and she has her little shop.

449
00:21:19,978 --> 00:21:22,714
And with all the costumes,
she is so fun. Yeah.

450
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:25,651
She always wears
fantastic scarves and jewelry

451
00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:28,487
and a completely different character
than then.

452
00:21:28,487 --> 00:21:30,122
This nasty nun.

453
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:33,525
Oh, who gets what she deserves?

454
00:21:33,625 --> 00:21:37,629
She makes
that poor girl face down in dirt.

455
00:21:37,696 --> 00:21:40,432
It makes me mad, that pose.

456
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:44,169
I remember when I found out, like,
there's a moment

457
00:21:44,169 --> 00:21:48,674
where in a young boy's life, you're like,
nights are really interesting

458
00:21:48,674 --> 00:21:49,474
and romantic.

459
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:52,711
And then you read about what
a night life was actually like.

460
00:21:52,711 --> 00:21:53,345
Horrible.

461
00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:57,783
And how they had to play like before
battles they would lay in the church

462
00:21:58,016 --> 00:21:59,651
in that pose all. Night.

463
00:21:59,651 --> 00:22:01,219
Yeah. And not fall asleep.

464
00:22:01,219 --> 00:22:03,255
Yeah, right. A squires night.

465
00:22:03,255 --> 00:22:04,790
Life was even. Worse.

466
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:09,227
So every time somebody lays like that,
I'm like, Oh, it's prostrate.

467
00:22:09,227 --> 00:22:09,728
Yeah, right.

468
00:22:09,728 --> 00:22:10,762
Prostrate. And.

469
00:22:10,762 --> 00:22:14,333
And it's not an uncommon pose
for Catholic.

470
00:22:14,433 --> 00:22:19,771
Not just regular Catholics don't do that
very often, but for priests and nuns

471
00:22:19,771 --> 00:22:23,675
and things like that is the ultimate,
like, humble position.

472
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:25,777
Yeah, but you do it.

473
00:22:25,777 --> 00:22:28,980
You are humbled to God, not to her.

474
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:31,983
Some witchy nun who chooses

475
00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:36,421
fresh dirt for you to lay in your nice
white habit.

476
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:37,989
Fresh from Calcutta.

477
00:22:37,989 --> 00:22:40,726
Like she has colonialism all over her too.

478
00:22:40,726 --> 00:22:42,060
And she's seen.

479
00:22:42,060 --> 00:22:45,497
Yeah, like she probably saw the
what's it called?

480
00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:46,164
The pit.

481
00:22:46,164 --> 00:22:49,468
The black hole of Calcutta.
Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

482
00:22:49,568 --> 00:22:52,671
So this is. But this poor woman's life.

483
00:22:52,671 --> 00:22:56,208
She was the warden at the horrible place,
which was.

484
00:22:56,208 --> 00:23:00,245
St Bridget,
St. Bridget's. Yeah. A home for

485
00:23:00,312 --> 00:23:03,448
her mother's
sister to Calcutta for a while.

486
00:23:03,482 --> 00:23:05,584
You think she'd get the hint by then?

487
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:06,818
But she's like, No, no.

488
00:23:06,818 --> 00:23:09,788
They send me where they need. Me
in my discipline.

489
00:23:09,788 --> 00:23:12,657
I absolutely love Sister Gregory.

490
00:23:12,657 --> 00:23:16,495
Here she talks about the alcohol.

491
00:23:16,561 --> 00:23:18,263
Sobriety is not asked about.

492
00:23:18,263 --> 00:23:19,131
Yeah.

493
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:22,768
Chastity and poverty, but not the.

494
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:25,437
Sergeants like Amen. And sister.

495
00:23:25,437 --> 00:23:27,706
So now they go see Sister Boniface.

496
00:23:27,706 --> 00:23:29,841
Okay, I'm going to lay this out to you.

497
00:23:29,841 --> 00:23:33,044
First of all, the first shot
we see of Sister Boniface.

498
00:23:33,111 --> 00:23:33,812
Wait a minute.

499
00:23:33,812 --> 00:23:37,416
You've already
you've bypassed a murder. Yes.

500
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:39,651
Okay. Let's do the murder
and then we'll get to sister.

501
00:23:39,651 --> 00:23:44,389
But first, the poor
novitiate nun collapses during her own

502
00:23:44,389 --> 00:23:48,126
ceremony, foaming at the mouth
because she's been poisoned with cyanide.

503
00:23:48,126 --> 00:23:50,595
And everybody knows cyanide. In a way.

504
00:23:50,595 --> 00:23:53,732
And Father Brown has two priorities.

505
00:23:53,732 --> 00:23:55,200
One, he says the right.

506
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,402
Yeah, that's more important.
That's the most important.

507
00:23:57,402 --> 00:23:58,103
Absolutely.

508
00:23:58,103 --> 00:24:01,473
And two, he looks for clues right away.

509
00:24:01,540 --> 00:24:05,610
You know, like, okay, you're not going to
go to hell now, what color is that for.

510
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:10,081
Me or my papers,
But it's my soul, my history on it. Yes.

511
00:24:10,148 --> 00:24:12,984
And then we get to Sister Boniface
because, of course,

512
00:24:12,984 --> 00:24:16,421
she is the resident chemist
because she's their vintner.

513
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:18,723
Okay. Now, like,
do you have cyanide around here?

514
00:24:18,723 --> 00:24:21,560
And Sister Gregory's, like, loads. Yeah.

515
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,496
She's like, barrels for sure.

516
00:24:24,496 --> 00:24:27,098
Sister Gregory is the best character
in this episode.

517
00:24:27,098 --> 00:24:28,600
Even better than Sister Bottle.

518
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,569
I like her a lot. Yeah, I like her.

519
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:34,139
I wish Sister
Gregory was on Sister Boniface.

520
00:24:34,139 --> 00:24:35,340
It's possible.

521
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:36,241
Yeah. So.

522
00:24:36,241 --> 00:24:40,045
But you know, Celina Kidwell
can only be in so many shows anytime.

523
00:24:40,111 --> 00:24:42,080
Okay, here is my case.

524
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,115
Okay, First. Of all, they are in.

525
00:24:44,115 --> 00:24:45,717
I have photographic proof.

526
00:24:45,717 --> 00:24:47,252
The exact same glasses.

527
00:24:47,252 --> 00:24:51,890
So if they did not use,
if they did not mean Sister Boniface,

528
00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:56,461
they took those glasses from that extra
and put them on Sister Boniface.

529
00:24:56,595 --> 00:24:58,997
They're the exact same glasses.

530
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:03,235
Oh, so what a coincidence that they might
have used the same pair of glasses

531
00:25:03,235 --> 00:25:06,972
from the same costume company,
from the same set of nun stuff?

532
00:25:07,138 --> 00:25:11,977
The only woman appears in glasses
in this entire episode is Sister Boniface.

533
00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:15,013
Yeah, because she's smart,
so she has to wear glasses.

534
00:25:15,013 --> 00:25:16,982
What I'm saying is this.

535
00:25:16,982 --> 00:25:20,352
She doesn't wear a crucifix around her
neck like the lady in the train

536
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:23,488
station did know. What I'm saying is this.

537
00:25:23,488 --> 00:25:25,223
She wouldn't be wasting time
sitting around

538
00:25:25,223 --> 00:25:28,226
gossiping at a train station
when she's got chemistry to do.

539
00:25:28,226 --> 00:25:30,829
What I'm saying

540
00:25:30,929 --> 00:25:34,232
is Sister Boniface,

541
00:25:34,299 --> 00:25:38,069
the actress who is played by Lorna Watson,

542
00:25:38,103 --> 00:25:41,273
who had a busy 2012, I went through

543
00:25:41,273 --> 00:25:44,276
all of her activities in 2012

544
00:25:44,276 --> 00:25:46,978
because this is being filmed in July 2012.

545
00:25:46,978 --> 00:25:49,381
Do you know what else is going
on? July 2012?

546
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:50,582
The Olympics?

547
00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:53,618
Yeah, it's crazy town in the UK
at this point in time.

548
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:56,655
She was not filming anything
during this time.

549
00:25:56,721 --> 00:25:57,188
Okay.

550
00:25:57,188 --> 00:26:01,092
She just got off the the bus.

551
00:26:01,159 --> 00:26:03,595
The British bake show. Okay.

552
00:26:03,595 --> 00:26:06,097
Her show, Lorna Watson.

553
00:26:06,097 --> 00:26:09,067
And all of her
was not filming at this point in time.

554
00:26:09,067 --> 00:26:12,070
Okay.
She knows the casting director. Okay.

555
00:26:12,137 --> 00:26:14,506
I think this is what happened.

556
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:15,907
Okay.

557
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:18,276
I think they wouldn't have paid Lorna

558
00:26:18,276 --> 00:26:21,813
Watson, a well known actress,
to play some background character.

559
00:26:21,813 --> 00:26:23,348
No, no, that's what I think.

560
00:26:23,348 --> 00:26:24,816
This is what happened.

561
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:26,885
Okay? This is what I think happened.

562
00:26:26,885 --> 00:26:32,157
The producer, who I've also maybe
sent an email to wanted to start

563
00:26:32,157 --> 00:26:37,829
Sister Boniface afterwards
always had that idea in in his mind.

564
00:26:37,896 --> 00:26:38,730
Right.

565
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:42,601
The character was created
by the people on this show.

566
00:26:42,634 --> 00:26:43,535
Right.

567
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:47,005
She's not an original character
to the to the books. No.

568
00:26:47,005 --> 00:26:50,041
I think that that woman in episode

569
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:54,179
one may not be Lorna,
but is definitely a sister bond.

570
00:26:54,212 --> 00:26:55,246
First, try out.

571
00:26:55,246 --> 00:26:59,150
Let's put a nun in the background with
glasses to see if we like the look of it.

572
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:02,487
I think it's directly
related to sister biographies

573
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:06,925
because these episodes are also recorded
out of order.

574
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:11,129
Did the mic pick up my big sign?

575
00:27:11,196 --> 00:27:12,764
Okay.

576
00:27:12,764 --> 00:27:14,232
Wow. All right.

577
00:27:14,232 --> 00:27:15,734
Let me deconstruct that for a second

578
00:27:15,734 --> 00:27:18,370
and then we'll get back to this,
because I can't not do this.

579
00:27:18,370 --> 00:27:19,137
Okay.

580
00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:23,108
What you're saying now, you're hedging,
first of all, and you're saying

581
00:27:23,208 --> 00:27:24,843
that's not Sister Boniface anymore?

582
00:27:24,843 --> 00:27:26,311
No, no. It's somebody.

583
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:29,414
I think they're trying out
Sister Boniface, in that.

584
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:32,851
All they're trying out
is putting glasses on a nun.

585
00:27:32,851 --> 00:27:33,918
That's it.

586
00:27:33,918 --> 00:27:34,919
Which they're saying, Do.

587
00:27:34,919 --> 00:27:37,322
We like a nun in glasses?

588
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:38,256
Guess what?

589
00:27:38,256 --> 00:27:40,458
Most nuns are older.

590
00:27:40,458 --> 00:27:42,861
Most older women wear glasses.

591
00:27:42,861 --> 00:27:47,399
They put glasses
common round tortoiseshell plastic.

592
00:27:47,465 --> 00:27:50,468
And they're over. On a woman.

593
00:27:50,468 --> 00:27:51,436
As my. Picture.

594
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:54,305
They did.
My picture will show they're old.

595
00:27:54,305 --> 00:27:57,142
And the her shot, her
first shot in the shot

596
00:27:57,142 --> 00:28:00,645
of the nun in the train station
are exactly the same.

597
00:28:00,645 --> 00:28:05,116
If she was back there tinkering with big
beakers, I would say maybe you're right.

598
00:28:05,283 --> 00:28:08,486
If she helped at all, maybe you're right.

599
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,656
We are going to have.
It's a nun in glasses.

600
00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:12,791
That's all it is.

601
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:16,294
We need someone on this show to tell us
what's going on.

602
00:28:16,294 --> 00:28:17,162
I'm saying.

603
00:28:17,162 --> 00:28:21,266
Anyway, Sister Boniface,
who we love right away.

604
00:28:21,332 --> 00:28:24,002
I think you just did a sneaky.

605
00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:26,071
Now I can't be wrong thing.

606
00:28:26,071 --> 00:28:26,705
No, no.

607
00:28:26,705 --> 00:28:29,307
Because before you were like,
It's definitely her.

608
00:28:29,307 --> 00:28:30,608
It's the actors, it's the character.

609
00:28:30,608 --> 00:28:32,977
If we get her in there, if we can't.

610
00:28:32,977 --> 00:28:34,746
Constantly. Say, Oh, it's just.

611
00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:37,615
Glass, if we get a confirmation that is in

612
00:28:37,615 --> 00:28:40,685
no way
we will relate it to Sister Boniface.

613
00:28:40,685 --> 00:28:44,022
I will clearly apologize,
but I think I'm right.

614
00:28:44,122 --> 00:28:47,058
That they were trying out
whether they liked a nun in glasses.

615
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:50,095
I still 100%.

616
00:28:50,095 --> 00:28:50,695
That's not it.

617
00:28:50,695 --> 00:28:53,131
You can be right about.
When you look at the picture.

618
00:28:53,131 --> 00:28:58,336
When you look at the picture,
I cannot say 100%.

619
00:28:58,336 --> 00:29:00,972
That isn't Lorna Watson

620
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:04,209
because they
they may have shot these out of order.

621
00:29:04,242 --> 00:29:05,176
They may have shot and.

622
00:29:05,176 --> 00:29:06,678
Just slipped her in the background.

623
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:08,246
You know, as I said. They're.

624
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:12,650
Because if they were,
if they were shooting those two episodes

625
00:29:12,650 --> 00:29:17,188
one after another and she was on
set doing costuming and things like.

626
00:29:17,222 --> 00:29:19,791
They might have just Saturday.
Just set her back there.

627
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:21,593
No, no, no.

628
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:24,696
It looks a lot like her doll, I'm saying.

629
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:28,566
Anyway, we love Sister Boniface
and one of the reasons

630
00:29:28,566 --> 00:29:34,372
why we get a signpost here,
which is sparkling sign.

631
00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:39,477
Yes, she's reading Agatha Christie
and this is the first time

632
00:29:39,477 --> 00:29:43,081
that she and Father Brown
have interacted in this way.

633
00:29:43,148 --> 00:29:43,648
Yeah.

634
00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:46,451
You know, like like he's,
you know, a regular

635
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:49,621
in the convent
because he's they're they're priest.

636
00:29:49,621 --> 00:29:51,956
They're well discussed with each other.

637
00:29:51,956 --> 00:29:53,525
Like they know each other.

638
00:29:53,525 --> 00:29:55,026
Oh, they know of each other. Yeah.

639
00:29:55,026 --> 00:29:57,495
Because she says your reputation is
well deserved.

640
00:29:57,495 --> 00:29:59,731
Yeah. So she's aware of his reputation.

641
00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:03,902
She's like, finally we get to work
on a case. Together. Yeah.

642
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:07,071
So she's reading the sparkling cyanide,

643
00:30:07,071 --> 00:30:10,975
The cover is the first edition,
but that's not a first edition.

644
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:13,111
No, that would be really hard
to get. Yeah.

645
00:30:13,111 --> 00:30:17,549
So how much do you think
in September 2002.

646
00:30:17,615 --> 00:30:18,750
So 20 years ago.

647
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:23,755
20 years ago, how much of the first
edition went for with the dust cover?

648
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,924
Because that dust cover is. Five.

649
00:30:25,924 --> 00:30:27,091
Everything now.

650
00:30:27,091 --> 00:30:30,061
800 bucks.
Oh, it's not bad. No. But still.

651
00:30:30,128 --> 00:30:32,130
If you're a collector,
it's not too bad. No.

652
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:37,735
And it was printed in first in the U.S.,
but then in the UK, in 1945.

653
00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:39,204
Right. So it would have been.

654
00:30:39,204 --> 00:30:41,339
It would have been everywhere. Yeah.

655
00:30:41,339 --> 00:30:43,708
And we can assume
she got it from the library. Yes.

656
00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:44,709
So we've got Sister

657
00:30:44,709 --> 00:30:48,580
Boniface, we've got the other nuns,
and then we get the Evans's right and.

658
00:30:48,646 --> 00:30:50,081
One other sister Bond.

659
00:30:50,081 --> 00:30:52,717
This thing that I need to talk about.
Okay.

660
00:30:52,717 --> 00:30:54,118
She does not age.

661
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:54,986
Well, no.

662
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:57,322
Lorna Watson has a really young face.

663
00:30:57,322 --> 00:30:59,958
Okay, but this is 1953.

664
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:03,761
Mm. And Sister Boniface
takes place in the sixties.

665
00:31:03,828 --> 00:31:05,763
So ten years later. Yeah.

666
00:31:05,763 --> 00:31:09,701
And she doesn't look
ten years older in Sister Boniface.

667
00:31:09,834 --> 00:31:11,603
It's weird to me, that's all.

668
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:12,704
That's the young face.

669
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:14,539
Okay, She's very pretty.

670
00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:17,475
Then she drops the Lord
Peter Wimsey stuff.

671
00:31:17,475 --> 00:31:21,512
Yeah, because obviously they're both
very well read and they also make a Death

672
00:31:21,512 --> 00:31:26,818
in the Clouds reference,
which is the puro with the wasp airplane.

673
00:31:26,851 --> 00:31:28,286
Yes, with the.

674
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:31,322
They're flying back from the tennis match.

675
00:31:31,456 --> 00:31:37,929
And all of this is completely irrelevant
to me because there is a typewriter.

676
00:31:37,996 --> 00:31:39,430
On the dash and.

677
00:31:39,430 --> 00:31:41,299
You're a nerd for a. Typewriter.

678
00:31:41,299 --> 00:31:46,371
Sarah came into my office to see
what I was doing, and I had my face, like.

679
00:31:46,471 --> 00:31:49,741
Investigate
your monitor, turn to look at it type.

680
00:31:49,774 --> 00:31:51,242
Trying to find what?

681
00:31:51,242 --> 00:31:51,743
What?

682
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:54,746
Elsie Smith and Tyrone,
the typewriter that was.

683
00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:57,348
Are you talking about
Sister Paul's typewriter?

684
00:31:57,348 --> 00:31:58,716
Sister Paul's typewriter.

685
00:31:58,716 --> 00:32:03,221
There's a typewriter in the background
that I can't see.

686
00:32:03,288 --> 00:32:07,425
By the way, Sister
Paul's typewriter case is by the door.

687
00:32:07,525 --> 00:32:10,361
I know that case intimately.

688
00:32:10,361 --> 00:32:13,464
It's a 1945 Smith Corona

689
00:32:13,464 --> 00:32:17,068
portable typewriter
because it has red and black ink in it.

690
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:19,604
And how high up on your wish list is this?

691
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:22,373
Oh, I would gladly take one of these
British.

692
00:32:22,373 --> 00:32:23,775
It'd be hard to get here.

693
00:32:23,775 --> 00:32:27,245
Do not purchase this typewriter
from people on eBay

694
00:32:27,245 --> 00:32:30,949
trying to sell you for this typewriter
for anything more than $25.

695
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:33,484
Typewriters are mass produced items.

696
00:32:33,484 --> 00:32:36,988
They do not deserve a high price tag.

697
00:32:37,021 --> 00:32:39,924
No, that's the whole point of this writer,
is their mass produce.

698
00:32:39,924 --> 00:32:42,894
Even if it's refurbished,
Even if it works perfect.

699
00:32:42,894 --> 00:32:43,461
No, it's not.

700
00:32:43,461 --> 00:32:47,365
Should not pay more than $75
for a typewriter.

701
00:32:47,598 --> 00:32:49,500
Is that your essay for today? Yep.

702
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:51,903
Can we talk about the Evans's
now? Do we. Get that?

703
00:32:51,903 --> 00:32:54,939
We get to the we get to the Evans before
because Tristram.

704
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:58,309
Is out there as Tom's out there
whacking longs.

705
00:32:58,409 --> 00:33:01,412
He's not very good with that
ax and it's a pretty dull. Act.

706
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:03,214
He's an inefficient log cutter.

707
00:33:03,214 --> 00:33:05,650
Yeah, he is.
I like this little green wagon.

708
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:07,785
The little green wheelbarrow.

709
00:33:07,785 --> 00:33:11,489
So he's the gardener for the convent,
and his wife, Joyce is.

710
00:33:11,522 --> 00:33:14,492
She's a frail woman
who's been away visiting family,

711
00:33:14,492 --> 00:33:16,894
and she has a heart condition
and everything else,

712
00:33:16,894 --> 00:33:18,329
but she does their shopping.

713
00:33:18,329 --> 00:33:21,332
Well, I'm
going to set up a new business in the UK.

714
00:33:21,532 --> 00:33:24,302
Did you know what my new business
in the UK is. Now.

715
00:33:24,302 --> 00:33:27,638
It's going to be called Gardener
Slash handyman

716
00:33:27,705 --> 00:33:30,808
and it's going to appeal
only to girls schools and convent.

717
00:33:30,808 --> 00:33:32,010
Convent.

718
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:36,381
And I'm going to place
rugged young men in all of those positions

719
00:33:36,481 --> 00:33:41,886
because every single episode
of any British mystery series

720
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:46,791
takes place in a girls school
and or a Covent Garden and.

721
00:33:46,891 --> 00:33:48,159
Has a burly, handsome.

722
00:33:48,159 --> 00:33:50,828
Burly handyman handyman in it.

723
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:54,699
I don't know if sometimes they have
old guys and you don't notice those guys?

724
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:57,101
Not so. Much.
Maybe they're not characters.

725
00:33:57,101 --> 00:34:00,171
They have to be burly and handsome
to be characters in the story.

726
00:34:00,204 --> 00:34:01,706
Like Quattro.

727
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:07,045
Mad. Tom's out there, his undershirt
and his suspenders on.

728
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,880
I Really Don't Know How to Feel about Tom,

729
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,349
and we'll get to the end of it,
but I don't like him.

730
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:13,618
Yeah, he seems abusive.

731
00:34:13,618 --> 00:34:14,185
He does.

732
00:34:14,185 --> 00:34:18,322
He's supposed to be protective,
but he does it in an abusive way.

733
00:34:18,423 --> 00:34:22,293
Yeah, I think we're meant to
not exactly know how to feel about him.

734
00:34:22,293 --> 00:34:24,262
Yeah. Okay, let's talk cyanide.

735
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:25,063
Okay, we'll talk.

736
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:28,166
Showing that then can we talk
about what Father Brown has to hide?

737
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:30,768
At least we can speculate.
And I have an answer.

738
00:34:30,768 --> 00:34:31,669
Okay, good.

739
00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:35,606
So the whole reason they talk to Sister
Boniface is they know

740
00:34:35,673 --> 00:34:38,509
that the novitiate
has been killed with cyanide.

741
00:34:38,509 --> 00:34:39,911
She's the vintner.

742
00:34:39,911 --> 00:34:41,446
She has the cyanide.

743
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:42,580
Yeah. Supply.

744
00:34:42,580 --> 00:34:44,582
Because they use it in winemaking.

745
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:48,152
Yeah, she has bottles of potassium Farrow
Cyanide.

746
00:34:48,152 --> 00:34:48,820
The cuckoo.

747
00:34:48,820 --> 00:34:50,088
I love that reference.

748
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:54,659
Yeah, There's a cuckoo in the nest because
there's a bottle that's been relabeled.

749
00:34:54,859 --> 00:34:55,526
Right?

750
00:34:55,526 --> 00:34:59,464
So a bottle has been removed and replaced.

751
00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:01,732
The fear of cyanide is challenging to me.

752
00:35:01,732 --> 00:35:05,403
Yeah,
and maybe somebody can fill me in on this,

753
00:35:05,403 --> 00:35:08,906
but based on the research that I did,
there's a couple of problems here.

754
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:12,510
First of all, potassium
ferro cyanide is indeed used in winemaking

755
00:35:12,610 --> 00:35:15,780
to remove metals, just as they mentioned,
but it is a

756
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:19,350
yellow crystalline material
and is not white.

757
00:35:19,383 --> 00:35:21,419
No, it's yellow

758
00:35:21,419 --> 00:35:25,256
and it's nontoxic to humans
because in our systems

759
00:35:25,256 --> 00:35:29,460
the cyanide is not released
from its bond with the iron.

760
00:35:29,527 --> 00:35:34,765
And so, you know, even to kill a rat,
you have to give it like kilograms

761
00:35:34,765 --> 00:35:35,900
of stuff.

762
00:35:35,900 --> 00:35:40,938
And sodium ferro cyanide
is no more poisonous than potassium.

763
00:35:40,938 --> 00:35:42,840
FERRO cyanide for the very same reason.

764
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,309
Now, that being said, potassium.

765
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:46,410
FERRO cyanide.

766
00:35:46,410 --> 00:35:48,379
You probably eat it every day. Yeah.

767
00:35:48,379 --> 00:35:52,183
Because it's used in iodized
salt as an anti caking agent. Oh.

768
00:35:52,216 --> 00:35:53,985
To keep your salt shaker

769
00:35:53,985 --> 00:35:57,889
from up, it's slightly toxic
if you take a whole bunch of it.

770
00:35:57,889 --> 00:36:04,028
But both potassium ferro cyanide and
sodium ferro cyanide are extremely toxic

771
00:36:04,028 --> 00:36:09,400
when exposed to a strong acid
that releases the cyanide into a gas form.

772
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,270
Oh, okay. That's a bad. That's a bad.

773
00:36:12,270 --> 00:36:15,673
But the stomach acid in your stomach
is not adequate to do it.

774
00:36:15,706 --> 00:36:18,276
Like we're talking about a strong acid.

775
00:36:18,276 --> 00:36:23,147
So we're in a case here where
we found a mistake and or they've made it

776
00:36:23,147 --> 00:36:27,051
so that they're not educating people
how to cure their. Yes.

777
00:36:27,151 --> 00:36:29,687
Which I think is both. Totally fine.

778
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:34,158
Especially with the reference
to Agatha Christie, because we've said in

779
00:36:34,158 --> 00:36:39,130
Midsomer Maniacs how people used Agatha
Christie novels to kill other people.

780
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:41,032
And she was criticized for that.

781
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:44,702
She was extremely accurate
because she knew all about it.

782
00:36:44,702 --> 00:36:48,573
She she'd been a pharmacist chemist,
so she knew what she was talking about

783
00:36:48,573 --> 00:36:51,509
and she was so accurate
that people critiqued her for it.

784
00:36:51,509 --> 00:36:55,379
So maybe the producers here
decided not to be accurate about this,

785
00:36:55,580 --> 00:36:59,984
or maybe my sources are wrong
and it's far more toxic

786
00:37:00,117 --> 00:37:01,953
could be than I've been led to believe.

787
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:03,955
Yes. No. Especially if you made.

788
00:37:03,955 --> 00:37:07,558
But based on what I my understanding,
putting it on some candy

789
00:37:07,558 --> 00:37:08,993
wouldn't hurt you at all. No.

790
00:37:08,993 --> 00:37:10,928
And she dies like, right away. Yeah.

791
00:37:10,928 --> 00:37:12,063
It just wouldn't do it.

792
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:12,530
Speaking.

793
00:37:12,530 --> 00:37:14,232
People dying. Sister Paul.

794
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:19,503
Sister Paul dies and my notes is good.

795
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:20,371
Yeah.

796
00:37:20,371 --> 00:37:23,941
It's a trope in these shows,
not just in Father Brown,

797
00:37:23,941 --> 00:37:27,878
but in lots of things that when there's
a character introduced who is particularly

798
00:37:27,878 --> 00:37:31,882
nasty, unpleasant, they're probably going
to get killed fairly soon.

799
00:37:31,882 --> 00:37:33,951
And that kind of makes them
a bit more palatable.

800
00:37:33,951 --> 00:37:35,653
Yeah,

801
00:37:35,653 --> 00:37:38,122
like don't worry,
she won't be around for a long.

802
00:37:38,122 --> 00:37:40,324
It's almost always a woman to.

803
00:37:40,324 --> 00:37:43,194
Not only do we have a coroner
standard speed line, series

804
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:46,397
two portable,
but we have a baby with Mrs..

805
00:37:46,397 --> 00:37:49,967
M, Mrs. M Och, Mrs. M has her God, baby.

806
00:37:49,967 --> 00:37:53,571
Because the baby's mom
is having some kind of lady's surgery.

807
00:37:53,571 --> 00:37:54,805
Lady Surgery? Yes.

808
00:37:54,805 --> 00:37:57,808
Why does everybody thinks
the baby is a boy?

809
00:37:57,808 --> 00:37:59,744
What is that running joke about?

810
00:37:59,744 --> 00:38:02,179
Is it
because the baby has a blue outfit on?

811
00:38:02,179 --> 00:38:03,247
No, I think.

812
00:38:03,247 --> 00:38:07,285
I think it is to show us that she is that

813
00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:10,888
the woman who is the killer is delusional
and thinks it's a boy.

814
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:12,423
Everybody thinks that.

815
00:38:12,423 --> 00:38:14,025
Everybody thinks it's a boy.

816
00:38:14,025 --> 00:38:15,660
I don't understand why.

817
00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:16,460
I don't either.

818
00:38:16,460 --> 00:38:18,129
Are they trying to criticize Mrs.

819
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:20,398
M for putting the baby
in the wrong outfit?

820
00:38:20,398 --> 00:38:21,299
I don't.

821
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:25,102
It's so weird because Abigail is wearing
a blue jumper, at least at one point.

822
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:28,306
Is a very pale blue jumper. Yeah, I don't.

823
00:38:28,306 --> 00:38:32,043
Or maybe it's a critique on people today
who like scotch tape

824
00:38:32,043 --> 00:38:35,179
a bow to their baby's
head to say it looks like a girl now.

825
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:36,180
Yeah.

826
00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:38,182
You know, I've seen people do that.

827
00:38:38,182 --> 00:38:40,785
I don't know what they're going
for. They're okay.

828
00:38:40,785 --> 00:38:42,286
I thought maybe I missed something.

829
00:38:42,286 --> 00:38:44,121
Oh, here's an interesting side note.

830
00:38:44,121 --> 00:38:47,058
Completely unrelated to this,
but interesting. Yes.

831
00:38:47,058 --> 00:38:50,161
So I was looking into the story
to see if it was inspired

832
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:53,931
by any of the actual Chesterton
short stories by Father Brown.

833
00:38:53,964 --> 00:38:57,702
Yeah, as near as I can tell, it's not
I've not read every single one of them,

834
00:38:57,702 --> 00:39:00,905
but I've read many, many, many of them,
and I can't find anything

835
00:39:00,905 --> 00:39:02,273
that reminds me of this.

836
00:39:02,273 --> 00:39:04,275
Correct me
if I'm wrong listeners if you now.

837
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:08,312
But while doing that,
I found a story that I had not read before

838
00:39:08,312 --> 00:39:13,017
that is amazing simply
because you would never guess that energy.

839
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:15,586
Kay Chesterton Story with Father Brown.

840
00:39:15,586 --> 00:39:17,188
There are killer robots.

841
00:39:17,188 --> 00:39:17,788
I did.

842
00:39:17,788 --> 00:39:21,425
I did remember hearing about this
and never tracked it down.

843
00:39:21,459 --> 00:39:23,594
It's in a story called The Invisible Man.

844
00:39:23,594 --> 00:39:25,262
Oh. Where two men

845
00:39:25,262 --> 00:39:29,033
both fall in love with the same waitress
and make some deal to come back in a year.

846
00:39:29,033 --> 00:39:30,768
And the one that is more.

847
00:39:30,768 --> 00:39:32,570
Guts and Father Brown.

848
00:39:32,570 --> 00:39:34,638
They did it with clowns. Clowns?

849
00:39:34,638 --> 00:39:35,973
Yeah, circus.

850
00:39:35,973 --> 00:39:38,843
But in the story it's a waitress.

851
00:39:38,843 --> 00:39:40,544
And they go away to make their fortunes.

852
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:44,949
And one of them goes off and builds robots
that do household chores.

853
00:39:44,949 --> 00:39:48,152
They're like robot butlers
and they're called smiles.

854
00:39:48,152 --> 00:39:49,820
Silent service.

855
00:39:49,820 --> 00:39:52,289
Oh, wow. And there are robots.

856
00:39:52,289 --> 00:39:53,991
Wow. Because that's you can.

857
00:39:53,991 --> 00:39:55,993
See now why they moved into a circus.

858
00:39:55,993 --> 00:39:59,296
So they didn't have to have
people dressed as robots.

859
00:39:59,397 --> 00:40:02,032
Because that would have been weird.

860
00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:04,802
Wow. They
would have look like the Tin Man.

861
00:40:04,802 --> 00:40:06,370
Remember, we beep, beep, beep, beep.

862
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:09,373
To read that, that stern story went okay.

863
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:10,741
We only change this one.

864
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:11,509
This.

865
00:40:11,509 --> 00:40:14,412
They'd have a dude painted silver
with like a button glued to his nose.

866
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:17,848
I am a robot. Yeah.

867
00:40:17,915 --> 00:40:19,750
All right, So Sister

868
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:23,487
Tumble Dryer takes Sister Paul's
letter from her typewriter to hide it.

869
00:40:23,654 --> 00:40:26,490
Yes, but she doesn't take the carbon.
Nope.

870
00:40:26,490 --> 00:40:29,460
The carbon falls on the floor.
And Miss and.

871
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:31,195
Sister Sister launches.

872
00:40:31,195 --> 00:40:34,365
Later in her first solo episode.

873
00:40:34,465 --> 00:40:40,037
Gosh, how many times in a mystery do they
discover evidence either by a carbon

874
00:40:40,037 --> 00:40:44,475
used in a typewriter or by unspooling
the typewriter ribbon and reading?

875
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:49,480
Okay, first of all, carbon,
if you've ever seen one, is full,

876
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:52,183
unless it's a brand new, fresh carbon.

877
00:40:52,183 --> 00:40:54,151
You couldn't read what it was, say no.

878
00:40:54,151 --> 00:40:56,220
But if you use it, if it's first time.

879
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:57,555
If it's the first time, yes.

880
00:40:57,555 --> 00:40:59,323
Same for the. Ribbon. Yeah.

881
00:40:59,323 --> 00:41:01,525
Because people often rewound the ribbon
and used it again.

882
00:41:01,525 --> 00:41:02,960
I mean you're supposed to, right? Yeah.

883
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,528
And until it won't work anymore.

884
00:41:04,528 --> 00:41:09,233
Well, when it doesn't work anymore,
you put more ink in it like.

885
00:41:09,333 --> 00:41:10,734
You re anchor women. Yeah.

886
00:41:10,734 --> 00:41:12,303
I thought you just replaced it.

887
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:14,638
They got really cheap, really fast now.

888
00:41:14,638 --> 00:41:16,140
Okay, But originally you read them.

889
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:20,444
By the way, if you want to go down
the rabbit hole, typewriter ribbon case

890
00:41:20,544 --> 00:41:24,815
cans is a whole subculture on itself.

891
00:41:24,882 --> 00:41:27,218
Wow. Is it worse than Father Brown's bike?

892
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:29,019
Oh, well, it could be.

893
00:41:29,019 --> 00:41:30,821
Yeah, could be. Okay.

894
00:41:30,821 --> 00:41:33,390
Yeah. Mrs. M pushing the pram. Yeah.

895
00:41:33,390 --> 00:41:37,428
She has to push. A pram a. Lot.

896
00:41:37,528 --> 00:41:38,762
She's part of my African

897
00:41:38,762 --> 00:41:42,433
knitting circle,
which is like, so 1950s British.

898
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,470
But these are people
who formerly knitted socks for soldiers

899
00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:48,105
during World War Two. Yes.

900
00:41:48,105 --> 00:41:50,674
And now they're like,
I can't stop knitting socks.

901
00:41:50,674 --> 00:41:51,976
Who am I going to give them to?

902
00:41:51,976 --> 00:41:54,812
Mrs. M I'm not one to gossip, but.

903
00:41:54,812 --> 00:41:57,715
Mrs. M totally abuses the button rule.

904
00:41:57,715 --> 00:41:59,850
Do you ever mentioned the bathroom? No,
I don't think we have.

905
00:41:59,850 --> 00:42:02,119
So here's about real people
that you can use. By the way.

906
00:42:02,119 --> 00:42:03,120
This will change your life.

907
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,622
You can use the children.

908
00:42:04,622 --> 00:42:06,824
Yes, Yes. Everything before the.

909
00:42:06,824 --> 00:42:08,259
But is a lie. Yes.

910
00:42:08,259 --> 00:42:11,695
The truth is after the vote. Yes.
So I did.

911
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:14,265
I love you, but I'm I'm leaving.

912
00:42:14,265 --> 00:42:16,267
I didn't rob the bank, but I was there.

913
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:21,205
Yeah,
or I don't mean to be nasty, but. But

914
00:42:21,272 --> 00:42:21,572
then.

915
00:42:21,572 --> 00:42:22,339
Proceeds to be.

916
00:42:22,339 --> 00:42:25,242
Nasty. Anything you say after is
what's true.

917
00:42:25,242 --> 00:42:26,010
I'm not.

918
00:42:26,010 --> 00:42:28,178
I'm not one to gossip, but.

919
00:42:28,178 --> 00:42:29,580
And then the gossip comes out.

920
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:31,916
We made a little song of her.

921
00:42:31,916 --> 00:42:34,351
Oh, my gosh.
Our kids used to do it all the time.

922
00:42:34,351 --> 00:42:35,085
And we were going.

923
00:42:35,085 --> 00:42:37,354
But, but. But, but, but, but, but.

924
00:42:37,354 --> 00:42:38,822
But it made them crazy.

925
00:42:38,822 --> 00:42:40,891
But they stopped doing it. Yep, they did.

926
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:43,193
I just did it.
It made them crazy. But they stop doing.

927
00:42:43,193 --> 00:42:44,395
But they stop doing it.

928
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:46,964
Yeah. So Mrs. M has the baby.
She's pushing the pram.

929
00:42:46,964 --> 00:42:49,099
Do you want to talk about
leaving babies outside?

930
00:42:49,099 --> 00:42:51,769
Oh, she doesn't at the store
and she doesn't at her house.

931
00:42:51,769 --> 00:42:53,671
She does it at the store
and does their house.

932
00:42:53,671 --> 00:42:57,107
And it is creates this weird thing

933
00:42:57,107 --> 00:43:00,878
that is in modern television and movies,
which is.

934
00:43:00,878 --> 00:43:01,745
Aren't we smart?

935
00:43:01,745 --> 00:43:03,714
We're from the future. Aren't we smart?

936
00:43:03,714 --> 00:43:04,982
We're from the future.

937
00:43:04,982 --> 00:43:05,649
Okay.

938
00:43:05,649 --> 00:43:08,752
When you when you watch something
historical like this and you see them

939
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:12,022
doing something that we clearly know
better than to do now.

940
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:13,290
Yeah, she leaves.

941
00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:17,294
She and she they pointed out, she goes,
it was only for 5 minutes.

942
00:43:17,294 --> 00:43:21,665
But I have to say it was really,
really common then to do that.

943
00:43:21,665 --> 00:43:22,600
It was super and.

944
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,536
It's still common to do it
in Scandinavian countries.

945
00:43:25,536 --> 00:43:28,606
We can't judge her for that.

946
00:43:28,839 --> 00:43:31,508
Oh, no, She's not at fault
for leaving the baby outside.

947
00:43:31,508 --> 00:43:32,910
No, for a couple of reasons.

948
00:43:32,910 --> 00:43:36,046
Number one,
their prams were ginormous. Yes.

949
00:43:36,146 --> 00:43:39,116
You couldn't
possibly take the pram in. Yes.

950
00:43:39,116 --> 00:43:42,686
So you'd have to pick the baby up
to take the stairs everywhere.

951
00:43:42,686 --> 00:43:46,590
And if the baby is sleeping,
you do not touch the baby.

952
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:49,126
You leave the baby in the pram. No.

953
00:43:49,126 --> 00:43:53,297
But there was also a tradition of
just putting babies outside to sleep.

954
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:53,764
Yeah.

955
00:43:53,764 --> 00:43:56,700
Because the belief that fresh air
was good for them.

956
00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:57,901
It was quieter outside.

957
00:43:57,901 --> 00:44:01,605
Usually the stories
that I could tell you about my job.

958
00:44:01,705 --> 00:44:06,010
In People do it to this day,
even in subzero

959
00:44:06,010 --> 00:44:10,047
temperatures, they bundle the baby up,
put it in the pram and put it outside.

960
00:44:10,147 --> 00:44:12,883
Since I'm Canadian,
I was born with a beard.

961
00:44:12,883 --> 00:44:14,952
I was. Normally.

962
00:44:15,019 --> 00:44:16,854
Were you left outside to sleep?

963
00:44:16,854 --> 00:44:17,254
Are you?

964
00:44:17,254 --> 00:44:22,192
I don't believe I was ever left outside
to sleep intentionally by my siblings.

965
00:44:22,192 --> 00:44:26,163
Yeah, but like I was regularly tell

966
00:44:26,230 --> 00:44:29,233
that we had a lot of kids
and not a lot of car.

967
00:44:29,433 --> 00:44:32,403
So I was regularly laying everybody's lap.

968
00:44:32,403 --> 00:44:33,370
Oh, gosh, yeah.

969
00:44:33,370 --> 00:44:35,706
Nobody had a car seat or a seatbelt back
then.

970
00:44:35,706 --> 00:44:38,642
All sort. Of but that I was born
in the fifties or aging.

971
00:44:38,642 --> 00:44:39,743
We're not talking about.

972
00:44:39,743 --> 00:44:44,982
No, we're not talking here about the baby
is asleep so we'll leave it in the pram.

973
00:44:45,049 --> 00:44:47,251
We just happen to have to leave outside.

974
00:44:47,251 --> 00:44:47,951
This is.

975
00:44:47,951 --> 00:44:51,855
I will pick the baby up
and take it outside to put it in the pram

976
00:44:51,855 --> 00:44:52,956
so I can go to sleep.

977
00:44:52,956 --> 00:44:56,560
So all of this is
just as a little cultural thing

978
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,729
which happens in these shows, which.

979
00:44:58,729 --> 00:45:00,964
Is, you know, why are they doing that?

980
00:45:00,964 --> 00:45:02,766
Because they didn't know better.

981
00:45:02,766 --> 00:45:06,036
Yeah. And it and we've now moved on.

982
00:45:06,303 --> 00:45:10,274
Well and you know, crime has moved on
to unfortunately a baby

983
00:45:10,274 --> 00:45:15,145
is much more likely to be snatched now
maybe or we're afraid that it is We're.

984
00:45:15,212 --> 00:45:17,915
I can say that we're more afraid.

985
00:45:17,915 --> 00:45:20,684
I'm not ready to say
that. It's more likely to happen.

986
00:45:20,684 --> 00:45:21,518
All I know is.

987
00:45:21,518 --> 00:45:24,455
And certainly more reported
now, those truth in the.

988
00:45:24,455 --> 00:45:26,256
Trunk of the stroller accident

989
00:45:26,256 --> 00:45:28,559
only starting
to roll down the street on its own.

990
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:31,895
If people leave them outside. That's

991
00:45:31,962 --> 00:45:33,697
from Battleship Potemkin.

992
00:45:33,697 --> 00:45:35,833
So we wouldn't have the.

993
00:45:35,833 --> 00:45:39,770
You know, the kind of Charlie Chaplin
slapstick of trying to catch the stroller

994
00:45:39,770 --> 00:45:42,773
as it speeds down there. Yeah.

995
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,042
If people never left the baby
in the stroller.

996
00:45:45,042 --> 00:45:45,642
Yeah.

997
00:45:45,642 --> 00:45:48,645
Sister Paul runs
ran this house for wayward girls.

998
00:45:48,645 --> 00:45:51,148
She was the warden at St Bridget's. Yep.

999
00:45:51,148 --> 00:45:54,451
Which was a home for unwed mothers.

1000
00:45:54,451 --> 00:45:58,122
Not wayward
girls, specifically unwed mothers. And.

1001
00:45:58,322 --> 00:46:01,592
And the sign is like,
you're all evil sinners.

1002
00:46:01,592 --> 00:46:02,493
Come inside.

1003
00:46:02,493 --> 00:46:04,862
I mean, it's not like Sister Thomas.

1004
00:46:04,862 --> 00:46:07,865
I love how bad she is about everything.

1005
00:46:07,865 --> 00:46:10,834
Oh, you're talking about the current war
on Sister Thomas.

1006
00:46:10,834 --> 00:46:11,368
Yeah.

1007
00:46:11,368 --> 00:46:13,036
Oh, I love our gender gap.

1008
00:46:13,036 --> 00:46:15,139
Jenny Galloway is the actress's name.

1009
00:46:15,139 --> 00:46:18,142
She's perfect for this role
because she's short.

1010
00:46:18,342 --> 00:46:22,112
She's round
and she has a big mo on her face, which

1011
00:46:22,112 --> 00:46:25,916
in our society means you've got to be bad
because you've got a big mole.

1012
00:46:26,049 --> 00:46:27,618
Exactly.

1013
00:46:27,618 --> 00:46:29,753
And she is a warden.

1014
00:46:29,753 --> 00:46:32,456
Yeah, Like a prison warden. Yeah.

1015
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:35,659
These poor girls.

1016
00:46:35,759 --> 00:46:36,927
And it's.

1017
00:46:36,927 --> 00:46:39,930
It's accurate is how they talked. Yeah.

1018
00:46:39,963 --> 00:46:42,933
About women
who got pregnant before they were married.

1019
00:46:42,933 --> 00:46:44,802
It didn't even matter
if you were young or not.

1020
00:46:44,802 --> 00:46:48,372
You could be in your thirties
and they would still treat you like this.

1021
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:52,376
This show, Father Brown,
from the very beginning,

1022
00:46:52,409 --> 00:46:56,013
has not shied away from problems
with the church,

1023
00:46:56,079 --> 00:47:00,784
and especially problems with women
and homosexuals in the church right away.

1024
00:47:00,784 --> 00:47:03,787
We're dealing with all of these things.

1025
00:47:03,987 --> 00:47:07,558
That all of the women in the
in Saint Bridget are.

1026
00:47:07,691 --> 00:47:10,093
They just look so gray.

1027
00:47:10,093 --> 00:47:11,895
Yeah. Yeah.

1028
00:47:11,895 --> 00:47:16,333
And she's marching around
going physical labor purges the sin.

1029
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:17,367
You know, we take the

1030
00:47:17,367 --> 00:47:21,104
the baby and give it to a good home
and then release them out.

1031
00:47:21,104 --> 00:47:22,873
Into the world.

1032
00:47:22,873 --> 00:47:25,809
Yeah, it it is. This poor girl.

1033
00:47:25,809 --> 00:47:30,514
It's not a pleasant state of affairs
for these women.

1034
00:47:30,581 --> 00:47:33,150
And I'm sure they were like looks at her.

1035
00:47:33,150 --> 00:47:34,718
Looked more upset. Yeah.

1036
00:47:34,718 --> 00:47:37,187
Look more bereft. Yeah. We need.

1037
00:47:37,187 --> 00:47:40,724
We a woman's baby being taken out of her
arms in the background.

1038
00:47:40,724 --> 00:47:41,892
Okay.

1039
00:47:41,892 --> 00:47:43,560
That's just. Horrible.

1040
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,062
And, hey, you got stairs.

1041
00:47:45,062 --> 00:47:47,197
We can scrub for this scene.

1042
00:47:47,197 --> 00:47:48,999
It's just. And then. Wow. What?

1043
00:47:48,999 --> 00:47:52,536
The priest and the nun walk over them
while they're doing it?

1044
00:47:52,569 --> 00:47:53,604
Like.

1045
00:47:53,604 --> 00:47:56,940
Not only are you doing this drudgery,
but we're not even going to make it easy.

1046
00:47:57,007 --> 00:47:58,976
For other Brown is like.

1047
00:47:58,976 --> 00:48:00,711
He could have easily went in there

1048
00:48:00,711 --> 00:48:03,747
and started barking orders
and they would have been completely.

1049
00:48:03,747 --> 00:48:06,250
Oh, oh my gosh,
Everybody would have snapped to.

1050
00:48:06,250 --> 00:48:07,117
Different to.

1051
00:48:07,117 --> 00:48:09,052
Her. Yeah, she has to be. Yeah.

1052
00:48:09,052 --> 00:48:12,122
But priests were aware of that situation.

1053
00:48:12,122 --> 00:48:13,957
They were aware of that relationship.

1054
00:48:13,957 --> 00:48:17,060
And they also understood
that in most parishes

1055
00:48:17,294 --> 00:48:20,998
that had a convent,
they were way outnumbered by nuns.

1056
00:48:21,164 --> 00:48:21,531
Yeah.

1057
00:48:21,531 --> 00:48:25,369
And so he wouldn't
go in there and do too much trouble

1058
00:48:25,369 --> 00:48:28,772
if he's smart
because that's their business.

1059
00:48:28,772 --> 00:48:31,808
And the last thing he wants is to have to
become more involved in that.

1060
00:48:31,808 --> 00:48:33,644
No, he doesn't want to. Right.

1061
00:48:33,644 --> 00:48:34,111
Well, Mrs.

1062
00:48:34,111 --> 00:48:36,480
Brown's now in a telephone exchange.

1063
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,216
She's okay. She's parish secretary. Yes.

1064
00:48:39,216 --> 00:48:43,153
Which is kind of a telephone
exchange. Yes.

1065
00:48:43,220 --> 00:48:45,923
But she also cooks for him, though.

1066
00:48:45,923 --> 00:48:48,892
Susie is supposed to be his housemaid,
right?

1067
00:48:48,892 --> 00:48:51,662
She's supposed to clean and cook.
And so. She.

1068
00:48:51,662 --> 00:48:52,396
But Susie's.

1069
00:48:52,396 --> 00:48:54,197
Idea of cooking is two slices.

1070
00:48:54,197 --> 00:48:58,468
Of spam and a tomato. Paste. But

1071
00:48:58,535 --> 00:49:01,538
Susie has had lots of problems.

1072
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:03,807
But she is no cook.

1073
00:49:03,807 --> 00:49:05,342
At least not that day.

1074
00:49:05,342 --> 00:49:08,478
She can make that polish spaghetti thing,
but she can't make it.

1075
00:49:08,478 --> 00:49:14,284
Has that eastern European cold meat,
cold vegetable sort of supper thing.

1076
00:49:14,384 --> 00:49:18,522
Well, and you know, in Poland,
before she escaped Poland,

1077
00:49:18,522 --> 00:49:19,890
that probably was a pretty good.

1078
00:49:19,890 --> 00:49:21,591
Dinner, to be honest.

1079
00:49:21,591 --> 00:49:23,994
But Father Brown's eat most dumplings.

1080
00:49:23,994 --> 00:49:24,861
He's looking at that.

1081
00:49:24,861 --> 00:49:27,864
Plate going, I don't even really know
where to start with that.

1082
00:49:27,898 --> 00:49:30,200
There's no saws, there's no nothing.

1083
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,703
Did you think Mrs. Brown's cooking
look good?

1084
00:49:32,703 --> 00:49:34,938
Mrs.. I'm sorry. Mrs. M's cooking
look good.

1085
00:49:34,938 --> 00:49:37,140
It'll look better. It looked like a meal.

1086
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:38,408
Yeah, It's like.

1087
00:49:38,408 --> 00:49:41,812
Again, an episode is in dire
need of top boy.

1088
00:49:41,912 --> 00:49:43,380
Oh, my. Gosh. Yeah.

1089
00:49:43,380 --> 00:49:47,617
The pan that she brings it in doesn't
even look like it could go in the oven.

1090
00:49:47,718 --> 00:49:50,320
And she has to carry it with It's hot.

1091
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,255
Well, she has. To carry it with.

1092
00:49:52,255 --> 00:49:53,690
That's what people used to do.

1093
00:49:53,690 --> 00:49:56,693
Mark, I'm aware of this.

1094
00:49:56,727 --> 00:49:59,129
We have a crock pot that you can carry
just like that.

1095
00:49:59,129 --> 00:50:00,630
It's made for it. Yeah.

1096
00:50:00,630 --> 00:50:04,468
Though
if you seal it too tight, it might explode

1097
00:50:04,534 --> 00:50:05,102
because it's hot.

1098
00:50:05,102 --> 00:50:06,136
There's pressure inside.

1099
00:50:06,136 --> 00:50:10,741
But yes, that that coated aluminum
tin contraption

1100
00:50:10,741 --> 00:50:13,877
she's carrying, that is the equivalent
of Tupperware in the early.

1101
00:50:13,877 --> 00:50:16,713
Fifties. Sister Boniface is attacked.

1102
00:50:16,713 --> 00:50:19,149
She's shoved down some stairs.
She could have died.

1103
00:50:19,149 --> 00:50:22,919
He could could've easily died
and then would be no episode.

1104
00:50:22,986 --> 00:50:25,422
No the end. Sister.

1105
00:50:25,422 --> 00:50:28,925
But if it's the series and then we have
the most controversial thing

1106
00:50:28,925 --> 00:50:32,262
that's going to happen in this episode,
Father Brown and Mrs.

1107
00:50:32,262 --> 00:50:34,398
Ham go to the store.

1108
00:50:34,398 --> 00:50:35,399
They go to Boots.

1109
00:50:35,399 --> 00:50:37,200
Okay, Clearly, that's a reference.

1110
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,803
Everybody stops
when they when they say Mr.

1111
00:50:39,803 --> 00:50:44,207
Boot, everybody kind of stops and looks
at the camera and goes boots or we'll.

1112
00:50:44,207 --> 00:50:45,442
Ever get it.

1113
00:50:45,442 --> 00:50:46,043
You know.

1114
00:50:46,043 --> 00:50:51,782
For our American listeners, Boots is this
is a drug store in both UK and Canada.

1115
00:50:51,782 --> 00:50:52,616
It's a pharmacy.

1116
00:50:52,616 --> 00:50:55,085
It's drugstore. Chain Walgreens.
Yeah, yeah.

1117
00:50:55,085 --> 00:50:57,354
But people still say
boots, the chemist. Yeah.

1118
00:50:57,354 --> 00:50:59,923
And they totally are playing off it here.

1119
00:50:59,923 --> 00:51:03,293
I can't imagine shopping the way they used

1120
00:51:03,293 --> 00:51:06,296
to have to shop in these small stores
where you would come in

1121
00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:09,566
and tell the person behind the counter
what you wanted and they would get it.

1122
00:51:09,666 --> 00:51:12,569
So did you see what Mrs. M asked for?

1123
00:51:12,569 --> 00:51:15,072
She gets soap, dirtiness. Sell.

1124
00:51:15,072 --> 00:51:17,707
Lifebuoy. Lifebuoy. Do you ever use.

1125
00:51:17,707 --> 00:51:19,242
Have you ever used Lifebuoy soap?

1126
00:51:19,242 --> 00:51:21,678
The only reference
I know to that other than knowing it

1127
00:51:21,678 --> 00:51:24,781
existed, is that in a Christmas story,
I think that's the soap

1128
00:51:24,781 --> 00:51:27,417
that Ralphie has to suck.
I can smell that.

1129
00:51:27,417 --> 00:51:28,819
So is it red?

1130
00:51:28,819 --> 00:51:31,288
No, it's yellow, but I can smell it.

1131
00:51:31,288 --> 00:51:33,490
Yeah. Wow. I can smell.

1132
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:34,157
It. Yeah, I

1133
00:51:34,157 --> 00:51:37,260
can, like, just hearing the name of it
again.

1134
00:51:37,461 --> 00:51:38,328
I can remember.

1135
00:51:38,328 --> 00:51:41,264
Comes right back. Yeah,
because that's all the nuns.

1136
00:51:41,264 --> 00:51:45,268
Some yarn and some thread, some soap,

1137
00:51:45,335 --> 00:51:48,305
denture cream, pear drops candy.

1138
00:51:48,305 --> 00:51:48,772
Yeah.

1139
00:51:48,772 --> 00:51:51,741
They know they don't need Chivers Jam.

1140
00:51:51,741 --> 00:51:53,143
That store is brilliant.

1141
00:51:53,143 --> 00:51:55,712
Oh, it's really very well said. Yeah.

1142
00:51:55,712 --> 00:51:56,680
So then Mrs.

1143
00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,851
M leaves, and then it becomes
incredibly controversial because.

1144
00:52:00,851 --> 00:52:03,353
I've watched this scene 20 times.

1145
00:52:03,353 --> 00:52:05,555
Because Father Brown buys turf.

1146
00:52:05,555 --> 00:52:06,556
Well, not Father.

1147
00:52:06,556 --> 00:52:09,559
Drops. First. Wait for Mrs.

1148
00:52:09,693 --> 00:52:10,193
M. To.

1149
00:52:10,193 --> 00:52:14,764
Leave, And then he says, Turf, please,
very quietly.

1150
00:52:14,764 --> 00:52:17,067
And I said, What the heck is that?

1151
00:52:17,067 --> 00:52:19,202
And you went on the hunt to figure it out.

1152
00:52:19,202 --> 00:52:20,804
I tried to figure it out.

1153
00:52:20,804 --> 00:52:22,405
It is okay.

1154
00:52:22,405 --> 00:52:24,841
I have two possibilities
of what it could be.

1155
00:52:24,841 --> 00:52:25,108
Okay.

1156
00:52:25,108 --> 00:52:29,479
One, that's not good
and one that is a gas.

1157
00:52:29,613 --> 00:52:30,213
Okay, so.

1158
00:52:30,213 --> 00:52:34,417
The gas
is that it's a magazine or newspaper

1159
00:52:34,417 --> 00:52:38,155
that references either
sports or racing turf.

1160
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:40,423
Okay. Because he has a magazine.

1161
00:52:40,423 --> 00:52:43,994
He has a newspaper in front of him
when he when Mr.

1162
00:52:43,994 --> 00:52:46,696
Boot goes to get the pair drops. Okay.

1163
00:52:46,696 --> 00:52:48,331
There's a little round thing.

1164
00:52:48,331 --> 00:52:50,267
Yeah, there's a ten. There's a ten.

1165
00:52:50,267 --> 00:52:51,868
I don't think that's related.

1166
00:52:51,868 --> 00:52:54,070
I think that's Mr. Boots. Okay.

1167
00:52:54,070 --> 00:52:57,440
I think he uses it to dampen his fingers
to get the money.

1168
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:58,175
Okay.

1169
00:52:58,175 --> 00:53:01,545
Turf may mean cigaret tobacco.

1170
00:53:01,545 --> 00:53:06,783
Yes, because there are turf cigarets
that were on sale in 1953.

1171
00:53:06,783 --> 00:53:09,085
Yeah, but Father Brown never smokes.

1172
00:53:09,085 --> 00:53:11,655
We never see him
smile. Ever see him smoke.

1173
00:53:11,655 --> 00:53:14,724
And he's not going to visit somebody in
jail.

1174
00:53:14,891 --> 00:53:18,762
I can see him buying a pack of Cigarets
to take to somebody in jail

1175
00:53:18,828 --> 00:53:21,731
if he wanted to talk to them
and he wanted to kind of soften them up

1176
00:53:21,731 --> 00:53:23,166
or he thought it would bring them comfort.

1177
00:53:23,166 --> 00:53:24,601
I can imagine him doing that.

1178
00:53:24,601 --> 00:53:27,437
Yeah, but there's no reason
for him to be buying.

1179
00:53:27,437 --> 00:53:29,139
I don't want to be the sports paper.

1180
00:53:29,139 --> 00:53:31,141
I guess it's the sports paper.

1181
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:33,376
He doesn't have it on his bike
in the next scene.

1182
00:53:33,376 --> 00:53:34,744
Where's he going next?

1183
00:53:34,744 --> 00:53:41,384
He goes next to the convent, and then
they're all searching for Sister Boniface.

1184
00:53:41,384 --> 00:53:44,621
And Valentine says

1185
00:53:44,721 --> 00:53:46,523
you should really kill this priest for me?

1186
00:53:46,523 --> 00:53:48,592
No, not really. Yeah. So?

1187
00:53:48,592 --> 00:53:51,528
So he's not going to see Tom Evans or any,
you know, like,

1188
00:53:51,528 --> 00:53:56,066
because I can imagine him
buying a sports paper if he saw a person

1189
00:53:56,066 --> 00:54:00,337
he was going to talk to and appreciate
getting it or Valentine would appreciate

1190
00:54:00,337 --> 00:54:00,637
it if.

1191
00:54:00,637 --> 00:54:03,607
We ever get anybody
from any of these shows on this show.

1192
00:54:03,607 --> 00:54:06,243
We're going to ask the weirdest. Question
and they're going to go, I don't know.

1193
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:07,210
That was in my job.

1194
00:54:07,210 --> 00:54:12,182
And one of the ones I'm going to ask is,
what do you mean by turf here?

1195
00:54:12,249 --> 00:54:16,086
I thought you were going to say that
it was like a girlie mag or something.

1196
00:54:16,152 --> 00:54:19,889
Now, Oh, wait,
you're not done, are you not.

1197
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:22,192
Done about turf?

1198
00:54:22,292 --> 00:54:23,493
So turf

1199
00:54:23,493 --> 00:54:29,232
at this point in time had in 1953 had as a

1200
00:54:29,332 --> 00:54:33,937
a promotion on and this is where I think
it might be this.

1201
00:54:34,170 --> 00:54:34,871
Okay.

1202
00:54:34,871 --> 00:54:38,074
There were cards of airplanes now.

1203
00:54:38,074 --> 00:54:40,777
In the cigaret cards. On the packages.

1204
00:54:40,777 --> 00:54:42,345
Okay yeah that's pretty common.

1205
00:54:42,345 --> 00:54:44,314
And they were collectible.

1206
00:54:44,314 --> 00:54:50,053
Included in that is the is a helicopter
there had to be really early.

1207
00:54:50,053 --> 00:54:55,959
Yeah of course there are places online
where you can see all of these conferences

1208
00:54:56,026 --> 00:54:58,328
Father Brown collecting those cards.

1209
00:54:58,328 --> 00:54:59,996
I can understand.

1210
00:54:59,996 --> 00:55:04,601
But I think he would have said Yeah,
like a ten pack of turf of turf.

1211
00:55:04,834 --> 00:55:07,070
Yeah. Yeah. And he just says Turf.

1212
00:55:07,070 --> 00:55:09,506
He just says turf.
I don't know what he means.

1213
00:55:09,506 --> 00:55:12,375
So I think it's the newspaper,
if that's our only option.

1214
00:55:12,375 --> 00:55:16,146
That that is the least weird one.

1215
00:55:16,212 --> 00:55:20,317
So then we get to Valentine being
the smartest human being on the planet.

1216
00:55:20,317 --> 00:55:20,784
Well, he's

1217
00:55:20,784 --> 00:55:24,120
the smartest cop and gamble for it,
that's for sure, because he makes a Henry.

1218
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,691
The second reference, he says, Well,
no one rid me of this turbulent priest.

1219
00:55:27,757 --> 00:55:30,093
That doesn't mean go kill him.

1220
00:55:30,093 --> 00:55:33,697
Because he's referencing
Henry the second and.

1221
00:55:33,930 --> 00:55:36,399
The Archbishop of Canterbury,
Thomas Becker.

1222
00:55:36,399 --> 00:55:37,367
Thomas Becket.

1223
00:55:37,367 --> 00:55:40,837
And then he calls Sister
Bonnici as voluble,

1224
00:55:40,904 --> 00:55:44,774
which again is it's
not it's a weird word for him to say.

1225
00:55:44,808 --> 00:55:46,976
Maybe it's from his word of the day
calendar or something.

1226
00:55:46,976 --> 00:55:49,646
Maybe he's doing the crossword puzzle
to improve himself.

1227
00:55:49,646 --> 00:55:53,650
So we find out that the Reverend Mother
had had a baby at St Bridget's, right?

1228
00:55:53,650 --> 00:55:54,818
That person?

1229
00:55:54,818 --> 00:55:58,154
Yeah, that Sister Paul knew about
it was writing her

1230
00:55:58,154 --> 00:56:01,157
awful letter to the diocese about.

1231
00:56:01,257 --> 00:56:05,095
I think that in reality,
the Reverend Mother would have long

1232
00:56:05,095 --> 00:56:07,030
admitted that to the diocese.

1233
00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:08,298
I would think so.

1234
00:56:08,298 --> 00:56:08,698
They would.

1235
00:56:08,698 --> 00:56:09,833
No, they wouldn't.

1236
00:56:09,833 --> 00:56:12,569
No, I don't think she would have tried
to keep it a secret.

1237
00:56:12,569 --> 00:56:16,172
Maybe maybe initially
when she went into into the convent

1238
00:56:16,172 --> 00:56:19,142
as a like a novitiate nun,
she might have kept it secret.

1239
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:23,179
But at some point, before
you go through the process of really,

1240
00:56:23,279 --> 00:56:27,717
you know, dedicating the rest of your life
to the church you have to kind of

1241
00:56:27,717 --> 00:56:32,822
like say, here's all the stuff I did, like
you do like a grand confession.

1242
00:56:32,822 --> 00:56:34,657
And and she would have confessed that.

1243
00:56:34,657 --> 00:56:36,025
And I would have also thought

1244
00:56:36,025 --> 00:56:39,462
there would have more women
like Sister Gregory who stuck up for her.

1245
00:56:39,462 --> 00:56:42,766
Yeah. So it seems a bit tacked on here.

1246
00:56:42,932 --> 00:56:45,902
Then Father Brown goes
to visit the Evans's.

1247
00:56:45,902 --> 00:56:47,537
And play a little. Room.

1248
00:56:47,537 --> 00:56:51,207
He just walks in the house and sits down,
doesn't know

1249
00:56:51,441 --> 00:56:54,577
nothing about house,
and they're not regular parishioners.

1250
00:56:54,577 --> 00:56:57,480
He doesn't go to church at all,
and she hasn't been for a while.

1251
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,482
It's on the convent, so yeah.

1252
00:56:59,482 --> 00:57:01,484
But it's still their home.

1253
00:57:01,484 --> 00:57:03,086
But this is the same thing.

1254
00:57:03,086 --> 00:57:04,821
And I've talked to you about this.

1255
00:57:04,821 --> 00:57:08,324
This is why people don't say goodbye
on the phone, one television show.

1256
00:57:08,324 --> 00:57:12,662
Because it's boring to see people walk
and wait for somebody answer the door.

1257
00:57:12,729 --> 00:57:15,231
Some Father
Brown just walks in, said Swanson.

1258
00:57:15,231 --> 00:57:16,132
And sits down.

1259
00:57:16,132 --> 00:57:19,803
And Joyce, we've
we've known throughout the whole episode

1260
00:57:19,803 --> 00:57:21,805
that she has a health condition. Yeah.

1261
00:57:21,805 --> 00:57:23,406
That she has a fragile heart.

1262
00:57:23,406 --> 00:57:24,774
And we're not sure

1263
00:57:24,774 --> 00:57:29,312
if her husband is protecting her
because she is physically fragile.

1264
00:57:29,345 --> 00:57:31,881
But he seems awfully rough with her.

1265
00:57:31,881 --> 00:57:34,050
For somebody
who's worried about her health.

1266
00:57:34,050 --> 00:57:38,655
I don't like his character, like I don't
like him as a person, his character.

1267
00:57:38,655 --> 00:57:41,124
But I also don't like
his characterization.

1268
00:57:41,124 --> 00:57:43,259
He should be more okay.

1269
00:57:43,259 --> 00:57:46,262
He has charges for solicitation. Yeah.

1270
00:57:46,329 --> 00:57:49,732
He used the moment of him going to war

1271
00:57:49,732 --> 00:57:53,136
to get her into bed and make her pregnant.

1272
00:57:53,203 --> 00:57:54,938
Now, he did come back and marry her.

1273
00:57:54,938 --> 00:57:57,540
That's the only good thing he did.

1274
00:57:57,540 --> 00:58:03,379
And since then he's been known
to fraternize with other women

1275
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,616
and is rough with her physically.

1276
00:58:06,683 --> 00:58:08,418
And then seeing mean.

1277
00:58:08,418 --> 00:58:11,187
Mentally and verbally abusive. Yeah.

1278
00:58:11,187 --> 00:58:14,224
So she might have been better off
if he hadn't come back to her.

1279
00:58:14,324 --> 00:58:17,494
I think it's them
part of them talking about

1280
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,297
how not everybody who's innocent
is a good person, Right.

1281
00:58:21,431 --> 00:58:23,833
And not everybody
who's guilty is a bad person.

1282
00:58:23,833 --> 00:58:26,069
Yeah,
I think that's what they're trying to do.

1283
00:58:26,069 --> 00:58:28,304
I just don't think
she would stay with him.

1284
00:58:28,304 --> 00:58:33,610
I don't think like I don't think it would
I don't think he would stay with her.

1285
00:58:33,610 --> 00:58:37,146
If he didn't have the solicitation
and stuff.

1286
00:58:37,146 --> 00:58:38,681
Right. He was just gruff.

1287
00:58:38,681 --> 00:58:42,018
Yeah, but he came back from the war,
married her,

1288
00:58:42,018 --> 00:58:46,055
and together they were like,
we need to get our baby back.

1289
00:58:46,122 --> 00:58:47,757
That that would be different.

1290
00:58:47,757 --> 00:58:49,959
Yeah. Like, we hate these nuns.

1291
00:58:49,959 --> 00:58:54,163
We hate that nun in particular
because she took our baby and he might

1292
00:58:54,163 --> 00:58:57,934
even resent her for letting it happen
when he wasn't there a little bit.

1293
00:58:57,934 --> 00:59:00,637
But he doesn't care about that.

1294
00:59:00,637 --> 00:59:01,738
I do like that.

1295
00:59:01,738 --> 00:59:03,206
They never find her baby.

1296
00:59:03,206 --> 00:59:05,642
Yeah, because that would be unrealistic.
Yeah.

1297
00:59:05,642 --> 00:59:10,113
Even if he's in the village,
they would never, ever tell her who he is.

1298
00:59:10,346 --> 00:59:14,918
And that man, that scene where they take
her baby is so heartbreaking.

1299
00:59:14,918 --> 00:59:16,486
Yeah, so heartbreaking.

1300
00:59:16,486 --> 00:59:21,591
And you see Sister Paul
being the absolute nastiest.

1301
00:59:21,591 --> 00:59:23,459
Yeah. Making her sign.

1302
00:59:23,459 --> 00:59:26,329
You don't have a choice.
Yeah, like she does.

1303
00:59:26,329 --> 00:59:29,132
She can just take her baby
and walk out of there.

1304
00:59:29,132 --> 00:59:32,569
And that's kind of the opposite thing
of what we're.

1305
00:59:32,569 --> 00:59:34,571
The more serious version of.

1306
00:59:34,571 --> 00:59:36,472
We're for future people.

1307
00:59:36,472 --> 00:59:39,242
Yeah. So we know this is wrong.

1308
00:59:39,242 --> 00:59:41,110
Yeah, we are.

1309
00:59:41,110 --> 00:59:43,880
It is not perfect Trade as a

1310
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,783
Oh, this is a quaint
historical thing that happened.

1311
00:59:46,783 --> 00:59:48,785
This was a wrong thing that was going on.

1312
00:59:48,785 --> 00:59:49,719
It was wrong then.

1313
00:59:49,719 --> 00:59:51,854
It was wrong then. It's wrong now. Yeah.

1314
00:59:51,854 --> 00:59:54,090
Fiddlesticks Stupid fiddlesticks.

1315
00:59:54,090 --> 00:59:55,325
No. Doctor.

1316
00:59:55,325 --> 00:59:57,393
Father Browns as a result of this. Yeah.

1317
00:59:57,393 --> 00:59:59,362
Fiddlesticks are sticks.

1318
00:59:59,362 --> 01:00:01,564
That you use. On a fiddle.

1319
01:00:01,564 --> 01:00:02,398
It's a bow.

1320
01:00:02,398 --> 01:00:06,069
Oh. Which makes perfect sense
when you think about it.

1321
01:00:06,069 --> 01:00:09,072
But why does it mean Oh, darn or silly?

1322
01:00:09,105 --> 01:00:13,076
Well, nobody knows in the 15th century.

1323
01:00:13,142 --> 01:00:14,944
In the 15th century it was

1324
01:00:14,944 --> 01:00:20,316
originally fiddlesticks
f y d y l c y krs did.

1325
01:00:20,316 --> 01:00:23,820
You did. Were they like, disposable? No.

1326
01:00:23,886 --> 01:00:27,323
Instead of having a nice bow,
you had a stick that you used.

1327
01:00:27,323 --> 01:00:30,660
And when it wore out, you threw it away
and grabbed another one and did it again.

1328
01:00:30,660 --> 01:00:31,794
And they were like.

1329
01:00:31,794 --> 01:00:33,529
Maybe. Troublesome.

1330
01:00:33,529 --> 01:00:36,366
It's meant to be something
frivolous. Yeah.

1331
01:00:36,366 --> 01:00:39,502
It first used in 1600 a fiddle stick.

1332
01:00:39,502 --> 01:00:42,572
Never tell me I am full of words.

1333
01:00:42,572 --> 01:00:44,140
Okay then. Yeah.

1334
01:00:44,140 --> 01:00:45,508
But then we get to see Mrs.

1335
01:00:45,508 --> 01:00:47,043
M on the back of Father Brown's.

1336
01:00:47,043 --> 01:00:49,112
Bike, and it's the best thing. Ever.

1337
01:00:49,112 --> 01:00:51,247
It is some awesomeness.

1338
01:00:51,247 --> 01:00:53,983
She's not even right inside saddle
because she can't.

1339
01:00:53,983 --> 01:00:55,418
Yeah, she's straddling the bike.

1340
01:00:55,418 --> 01:00:56,586
Straddling the bike.

1341
01:00:56,586 --> 01:00:57,520
Even though they're only

1342
01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:00,423
going the distance
that you can still hear a baby crying.

1343
01:01:00,423 --> 01:01:01,958
You can just run. Yeah.

1344
01:01:01,958 --> 01:01:03,092
He puts her on the back of.

1345
01:01:03,092 --> 01:01:06,496
The bike at our we. Yeah.

1346
01:01:06,596 --> 01:01:07,330
Well that's

1347
01:01:07,330 --> 01:01:10,333
in the same way That said is good.

1348
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,268
At the end of the last episode Mrs.

1349
01:01:12,268 --> 01:01:14,837
M is switches here always.

1350
01:01:14,837 --> 01:01:16,606
Yeah always with Mrs.

1351
01:01:16,606 --> 01:01:20,343
M in this first season
she's nasty gossipy backstabbing

1352
01:01:20,376 --> 01:01:23,112
mean in the beginning
and at the end she's redeemed.

1353
01:01:23,112 --> 01:01:25,448
But she's there when to get the baby.

1354
01:01:25,448 --> 01:01:28,885
She's there to help Father Brown deal
with this situation.

1355
01:01:28,885 --> 01:01:30,787
But even in the beginning of the scene

1356
01:01:30,787 --> 01:01:34,557
where Joyce has the baby
at the top of the balcony, Mrs.

1357
01:01:34,557 --> 01:01:38,594
M says nasty things and he's like,
maybe now's not the time, you know?

1358
01:01:38,594 --> 01:01:40,830
And she's like, Oh, you're right.

1359
01:01:40,830 --> 01:01:44,500
She she does that switch in every episode.

1360
01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:47,203
Every episode.
He says something to her. Yeah.

1361
01:01:47,203 --> 01:01:51,174
And she makes this you're right
face like, Yeah, that's true.

1362
01:01:51,174 --> 01:01:54,444
And that goes away in later seasons
which I'm actually pleased.

1363
01:01:54,444 --> 01:01:54,811
Yeah.

1364
01:01:54,811 --> 01:01:57,113
She, they kind of change your character
a little bit

1365
01:01:57,113 --> 01:01:59,248
and then they baptize the baby the end.

1366
01:01:59,248 --> 01:02:03,252
The baby that has nothing to do
with anything that does.

1367
01:02:03,419 --> 01:02:04,721
Anything. Yeah.

1368
01:02:04,721 --> 01:02:06,122
Can I.

1369
01:02:06,122 --> 01:02:09,959
Or what, what is going to happen
to these people Like.

1370
01:02:10,193 --> 01:02:12,562
Because. Yeah.
Because we can't even do best Corpse.

1371
01:02:12,562 --> 01:02:13,096
I mean.

1372
01:02:13,096 --> 01:02:16,132
Well I mean we can
because there are two bodies.

1373
01:02:16,165 --> 01:02:18,000
Yeah, I would say it's. I don't know.

1374
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,003
I didn't really look at them all that,
but it moves along.

1375
01:02:21,104 --> 01:02:21,804
Like I told you.

1376
01:02:21,804 --> 01:02:25,141
I think it's the novitiate because she,
she gets to crumble in her wedding dress

1377
01:02:25,141 --> 01:02:27,009
and from moment to moment

1378
01:02:27,009 --> 01:02:30,012
Sister Paul dies pretty quick,
and she's covered up pretty quick.

1379
01:02:30,012 --> 01:02:31,347
That is not her body on that girl.

1380
01:02:31,347 --> 01:02:32,849
No. The way I said a.

1381
01:02:32,849 --> 01:02:34,717
Little slight thing
that they're. Carrying.

1382
01:02:34,717 --> 01:02:36,919
Okay, so after the credits.

1383
01:02:36,919 --> 01:02:38,955
Yeah. Do the Evans's stay together.

1384
01:02:38,955 --> 01:02:42,692
Oh, they're both she's
going to probably in asylum

1385
01:02:42,692 --> 01:02:47,563
and he's going to do some time
as an accessory at best.

1386
01:02:47,663 --> 01:02:50,867
The law can come down on her
hard and hang her.

1387
01:02:50,867 --> 01:02:51,534
Yeah.

1388
