The only thing worse than an American affecting a British accent (myself included) is a Brit trying to affect an American accent...especially a southern accent.

Faux accent
Sacqueboutier6 January 2021
A decent storyline, but the accents detract.
Sleepin_Dragon9 June 2023
Wealthy business tycoon and are collector Brander Merton buys a highly valuable chalice, immediately returning his own private fortress, he enlists the help of Father Brown, hoping not to suffer the same fate as the two previous owners, who suffered tragic deaths.
Who is Daniel Doone?
As a mystery, this one works rather well, there is definitely a degree of interest and intrigue here, you're waiting for something to happen, but you don't quite know who or when, will it be theft or murder?
Kenneth More is excellent as always, Richard Hurndall was great as The Father Superior, but.... the rest of the cast struggle, made to use Southern American accents, and they all struggle, Mike Pratt in particular, there is a really capable cast here, but none of them nail the accent, and as such it feels a little phony.
A little titbit, Angela Douglas was actually married to Kenneth More, you can definitely spot a bit of chemistry between the pair.
5/10.
