I'm confused by WPC 56

I seems to be daytime TV (I watch on iPlayer so I'm not sure)

It's perfect Sunday evening viewing & at one a week would be fabulous

But it's been shown every day - which seems odd

Are there going to be any more?

I'm usually around at that time, and I agree with you. It's evening viewing really-seems a shame to waste it on daytime,when there's diddly squat on in the evenings.

The current series is the second, I think.

I've watched 15 episodes; 3x5 I think?

It really seems a waste

It was on during weekdays on BBC1 last week, just after Doctors (I work from home) so around 2:30pm. They seem to do the odd week's worth of programmes here and there for this slot, there was one about an Indian GP who'd moved to a village in Wales at some point, that came and went, came and went too. They may recommission a new series, then again it often depends on the viewing figures.

You could always post on the BBC's feedback section and ask if there's more programmes in store

I think they've just shown all 3 series on BBC1. I get quite addicted to whatever they show in that slot as they put it on every day!

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 15/03/2015 18:28

There's usually so pretty decent programmes, they are just very short runs. Arthur Weasley played a priest/detective in one, these were good.

Sorry for the shit spelling, my jaw's dropping at the crap on the news.

I liked Indian doctor but couldn't get into Father Brown , WPC 56 has had annoying wpcs so far which isn't endearing it to me.

ClaimedByMe · 15/03/2015 18:31

I get sadly addicted to the bbc weekday afternoon programmes although I think its a gameshow this week :(

Oood · 15/03/2015 18:35

any doctors fans may want to join us...

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 15/03/2015 18:38

Oh, I hate gameshows

Ah, doctors. It may be more believable if the patients had to wait 2 weeks for an appointment.

Oood · 15/03/2015 18:54

Ah but they only have about 7 patients in the whole practice!

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 15/03/2015 18:55

Sounds about right.

LadySybilLikesSloeGin · 15/03/2015 18:55

Wonder if they have a listing on NHS Choices.

Anaffaquine · 15/03/2015 18:57

I've enjoyed WPC56 and liked the Dr one too. They are on at a great time for me as dd2 is napping and dd1 at nursery. I agree, they would be great evening viewing though.

We loved Father Brown and ordered the book which is even better :)

HoraceCope · 17/03/2015 08:33

I didnt really like WPC56, FAther Brown only slightly better. I wait til 3.10 for The Royal which is slightly less crap but far more enjoyable.

Mrsjayy · 17/03/2015 08:43

I liked this although I didn't watch every day this series I love father Brown though I was hooked
