From the makers of Father Brown and Shakespeare & Hathaway, new murder mystery series Sister Boniface Mysteries has its free to air premiere on ABC.
The series stars Lorna Watson as a Vespa driving, crime solving Catholic nun.
It previously screened on BritBox.
It’s the 1960s and police forensics are rudimentary. Luckily the residents of Great Slaughter, nestled deep in the British countryside, have a secret weapon.
Sister Boniface. This nun might be predisposed to forgive – but she’s also one hell of an amateur detective.
If there’s evidence to be found, Boniface will find it, with a littlehelp from dashing maverick DI Sam Gillespie and buttoned-up Bermudan DS Felix Livingstone, who’s horrified to be stuck in the eccentric world of Great Slaughter.
A corpse is found stuffed inside a dummy at the local fair; tragedy hits a visiting TV crew; and a gruesome discovery is made in Edie’s beloved allotment plot. It’s down to Sister Boniface – and a few hasty Hail Marys – to save the day.
Episode 1
Felix gets a taste of rural policing when he joins Sister Boniface in a murder investigation at the Mangold Wurzel Festival.
7:30pm Saturday May 13 on ABC.

Just saw the promo for this this evening after the news! So pleased!
I think I’ll enjoy this, the previews look good, and unlike in Father Brown, the Police Inspector is happy to work with the amateur sleuth from the clergy.
Originally she was a young novitiate obsessed with crime novels, but that was way back in S1 of Father Brown in an episode I barely remember.
looking forward to this. Looks like fun.
