Father Paolo Baldi Mysteries

The Complete BBC Radio Crime Series

The complete series 1-5 of the thrilling mystery series. On sabbatical from the Franciscan order, Father Paolo Baldi is working as a philosophy lecturer in Dublin when his life takes an unexpected turn and he finds himself helping the police to solve crimes.

Along with Tina, Paolo uncovers the truth behind the killings of several rockabilly band members, a high-profile case of a police officer’s murder, as well as delving into the highly competitive world of celebrity chefs. He also exposes a rift in a community of environmental activists, enters the world of romantic poetry to solve a suspected suicide, investigates the killing of a politically-incorrect figurehead, and finds that the death of a homeless man is not as simple as it appears.

Follow the priest-cum-sleuth’s thrilling adventures as he solves mysteries throughout Ireland.

David Threlfall, Tina Kellegher and T.P. McKenna star in this exciting series written by Simon Brett, Bill Murphy, Andrew Martin, Martin Meenan, John Murphy and Francis Turnly in the series created by Barry Devlin.

Great

Really good mystery series that has a lot of theological depth. My two frustrations are that it’s never explained how Baldi continues to extend his sabbatical, especially at the end of series (season) 1. Second, the final episode was anticlimactic and left more to be desired, but as they say “always leave them wanting more.”

I will definitely listen to this series again, especially the episode with Martin Clunes (Doc Martin).

Well Acted Mystery Series

The stories address real world issues while solving interesting mysteries. Had the series continued, I would have wanted to see more success from Tina.

Well done!

Very much enjoyed this collection! Hours of good listening!Hope I see more of this series available!

Whish it was longer

I've relisted multiple times. It was one I hated to see come to an end.

Good fun but not the BBC's best effort

This series is very well produced, as you'd expect from BBC radio. The main characters are fun but the plots become pretty formulaic and the Father Baldi's stuffy academic act repetitive. "You phone the Internet?" Really?
