A much-loved TV series filmed in the Cotswolds is set to return to screens.
Father Brown, the BBC's gentle crime drama starring Mark Williams as a crime-solving priest, will return for its 13th series from January 9 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Set in the fictional Cotswolds village of Kembleford, and filmed in Burford, the show is based on the stories by GK Chesterton and follows the investigations of an English Catholic priest in the 1950s.
The new ten-part Father Brown series picks up after the conclusion of season 12, which ended with the wedding of Mr and Mrs Sullivan.
Mr and Mrs Sullivan will settle into married life, with Isabel joining the Policeman’s Wives Society.
Brenda steps into the role of Parish Secretary, embarking on "a journey of self-empowerment."
