First, there was Father Brown, now say hello to Sister Boniface. This clever, moped-riding nun is the police’s secret weapon for solving murders in this Father Brown spin-off.

Watch Sister Boniface Mysteries on Thursdays at 8pm on WITF TV or from the PBS Video app livestream.

The series is set in the 1960s in the fictional English town of Great Slaughter. Sister Boniface is a nun at St. Vincent Convent. In addition to her religious duties, she makes wine and has a Ph.D. in forensic science, which allows her to assist in local police investigations.

In the premiere episode, Unnatural Causes, a housemaid is found dead at a local festival, which puts a damper on Great Slaughter’s festive gathering. Detective Inspector Sam Gillespie calls on Sister Boniface to act as his scientific advisor on the case.

Sister Boniface’s work unravels a web of deceit that leads the police to open a second investigation into the death of a man who died six months earlier.

Watch Sister Boniface Mysteries on Thursdays at 8pm beginning January 5 on WITF TV or through the PBS Video app livestream.
