Kembleford is rocked when a group of leather jacket wearing bikers arrive in town. Local girl Lisa Morris is taken with head of the gang Billy Turner, her mother isn't quite so smitten.

There is something satisfying about the idea of Kembleford's quiet serenity being rattled by a group of trouble making and speed loving bikers.

The biking accident, that's actually one of the nastiest killing methods ever on Father Brown, it was a particularly grim way to go.

Maybe not the most satisfying mystery of all, the killer's identity wasn't perhaps the biggest surprise, but the visuals and flavour of the era was perfectly captured.

Lisa's transformation, that was quite extreme, Grease vibes about it.

All credit to Jamie Bacon, cracking performance as Billy Turner, he certainly looked the part, and acted it.

7/10.

Rock n Roll has come to Kembleford. It also includes greasy leather clad bikers spending too much time in greasy cafes.

Billy Turner is the wild one, the leader of the pack. Racing around the clock.

Meanwhile Agnes Morris is aghast with these tearaways. Especially as her teenage daughter Lisa is smitten with Billy.

He's not interested in a simpering doe eyed teenager but she later transforms Grease like to something more smouldering and sultry.

It is a febrile atmosphere and one where a gruesome murder takes place. It is troubled Roger Norton who dies but Father Brown believes that Billy was the target.

Some of the influences of this episode from better known movies were a bit too obvious. The killing of Norton was nasty.

I just think that the culprit was rather easy to guess although the motives were understandable.

It is nice to see Father Brown moving to the modern music era.
