thinking about sullivan accepting felicia’s invitation in curse of amenhotep — inspector sullivan and guest.

him inviting his mother as his plus one, mostly to give her an excuse to get away from his father for the evening. grace then managing to stretch it out to three days in kembleford because “the trains will be a nightmare, walter.” staying with sullivan, a much-needed break from walter’s tight control.

presbytery gang getting to see how much softer and happier sullivan is when his mother’s there. how his eyes light up when he sees her, how attentive and gentle he is with her, so different to the standoffish inspector they’re used to.

them and grace swapping stories about sullivan at the soirée. sullivan overhearing, wondering why father brown is talking about him so warmly, because to his mind his presence in kembleford is nothing more than an irritation to them all. not realising that father brown and the others have become rather fond of their feral cat inspector. (grace, on the other hand, had recognised this almost at once)

BBC Father Brown characters as Muppet Christmas Carol characters

twelve days of fishmas, day 4 — carol

ok so some of these are very close matches, some are more based on half-vibes, and some are just,,, the only characters i had left. i have tried to make them work, but in some cases you may find me willfully ignoring parts of father brown canon to make things fit (esecially with the women bc there are only like six female characters in the movie and two of them are bloody identical). pls just ignore this gjshfjdhf

pls also ignore any odd relationships / dynamics that appear as a result of certain character pairings — this is solely about the individual characters, not how they interact and whatnot. (sullivan and grace i am so so so sorry for giving you characters who are courting in the movie,,, but also this is on you for fitting those characters so well 😭😭)

Inspector Sullivan as Ebenezer Scrooge

Obsessed with his work. Spends most of his life being a grumpy fuck and lashing out at the people around him, but does a personality 180 after being shown how to let love into his heart

Father Brown as Charles Dickins (Gonzo)

Tells the story, knows things about its events that he seemingly shouldn’t, and is unnecessarily vague about how he knows these things and what’s going to happen next

Sid Carter as Rizzo the Rat

Food-obsessed chaos gremlin. Doesn’t think things through before he does them, and is inclined to fight rather than flight

Inspector Mallory as Jacob / Robert Marley (Statler / Waldorf)

Does his job as he sees fit, and doesn’t care whose life he ruins in the process. Only regrets his actions when it personally affects him, and even then doesn’t do much to change his ways. Also lots of heckling

Mrs McCarthy as The Ghost of Christmas Past

Somehow knows everything about everyone, and will recount these stories with no regard for how it’ll impact the people involved. Values tradition and a connection with the past

Inspector Valentine as The Ghost of Christmas Present

Just sort of gets how things work. Disappears after a short time, having been through a facial hair transformation

Daniel Whittaker as The Ghost of Christmas Future

Ominous bastard

Sergeant Goodfellow as Bob Cratchit (Kermit)

Puts up with so much bullshit at work, but is chronically underpaid and underappreciated by his boss. Well-liked by seemingly everyone in the area

Felicia Montague as Emily Cratchit (Miss Piggy)

Stylish, speaks her mind, and isn’t afraid to resort to outright threats of violence when she feels the situation calls for it. Tries to hide her emotional pain from others

Blind 'Arry as Tiny Tim (Robin the Frog)

Kind and generous, willing to do anything to help others. Has a disability that makes it harder to navigate the world

Bunty Windermere as Belinda / Betina Cratchit

Speaks her mind, and will correct people when she disagrees with what they’re saying. Considers “badly-dressed” to be a grave insult

Eddie Devine as Peter Cratchit

I literally forgot they both existed???

Father Lindsey as Fred, Scrooge’s nephew

Enthusiastic about seemingly everything. Tries to do what he thinks is best, but doesn’t always consider what might happen as a result

Grace Sullivan as Belle, Scrooge’s former love interest

Found a love that she thought would last forever, but had to watch as it faded to nothing because of her partner prioritising work over their relationship

Isabel Devine as Clara, Fred’s wife

Able to come up with unique and out-of-the-box ideas and solutions that others might not think of

Brenda Palmer as Boy (Bean Bunny)

Dealt bad cards in life that have led to hardship and prejudice against them. Eventually given employment by someone who cares

Walter Sullivan as Schoolmaster (Sam Eagle)

Prioritises work and productivity over all else, and instills this unhealthy work ethic in those he teaches

Hercule Flambeau as Old Joe

Shady but charming, and therefore able to get people to do what he wants with minimal effort. Many illegal activities

Vincent Lazarus as the cat that chases Rizzo when they go to the past

An antagonist that’s more annoying than interesting, and has approximately ten seconds of screentime

can’t stop thinking about the cultural implications of father brown s12 ep2 for the in-universe timeline

like,, an amateur dramatics group in a random village has just redefined the murder mystery genre (completely by accident). their opening night was a spectacular trainwreck — lightning in a bottle when they were trying to catch rain — and now, somehow, they’re expected to recreate it

a sergeant is playing the detective inspector. an actual detective inspector is playing the priest. an actual priest is playing the dead guy. one of the actors is playing two people on stage at the same time for no apparent reason, and at the end the actual detective inspector / fake priest gets stuck in the curtains. you cannot convince me this wouldn’t go on to become a ridiculously popular show with a committed, slightly obsessive group of fans

so.. did they extend the run? did sullivan find himself playing a priest for a lot longer than he expected, find himself missing the cassock and the stage makeup when they had a day off? did it keep going even after they’d given it up, with a new cast and a new location? do the group sometimes get stopped in the street by people asking for autographs or telling them how much they love the show, how they like the new cast but they really miss the original run? did sullivan’s father have an aneurysm when he realised his son’s name is forever tied to The First Comedy/Murder-Mystery Play? god.. so many questions
