British actress Claudie Blakley has become Father Brown’s (played by Mark Williams) right-hand woman, helping him to solve crimes in Kembleford. She came onto the BBC crime series in 2023, replacing Sorcha Cusack as Mrs McCarthy who previously had a similar role in Father Brown. Reflecting on Mrs Devine’s sleuthing skills, Claudie, 49, said: “She’s really good at it. She’s a real natural.”

She went on to say: “I think that’s why Father Brown just lets her get on with it because they complement each other well.

“At first, Mrs Devine doesn’t get the job as his parish secretary. But then, of course, a

murder takes place, and she starts finding clues and working it out.”

Speaking about signing on the dotted line for Father Brown and portraying Mrs Devine, Claudie said: “Oh my gosh, I’ve loved playing her so much. It’s just such fun to play a character who’s really sunny and happy.

“She’s always looking on the bright side. She’s up for everything. She’s outspoken.”
