Cadfael: The Complete Series 1

All four episodes of the first season of this drama series starring Derek Jacobi as the medieval sleuth.

In the opening episode' One Corpse Too Many' Cadfael, once a man of the world, has become a man of the cloth.

However, this by no means qualifies him as a saint. He discovers a murder, and sets out in pursuit of the perpertrator, assisted by a lovely young fugitive. 'The Sanctuary Sparrow' sees Brother Cadfael investigating the murder of the local goldsmith.

In 'The Leper of St Giles' a great wedding is to take place in the Abbey of Shrewsbury between Baron Huon and Iveta De Massard.

Iveta is a beautiful, kind soul and on the day she and her betrothed ride into the town she throws money to the lepers, but her brutish Baron beats them.

On the eve of the wedding he rides off into the night never to return.

Cadfael sets out to find out what is going on. Whilst in 'Monk's Hood' a landowner cuts his son-in-law out of his will, leaving his inheritance to the church.

However, before the transaction is finished, Gervase Gurney is poisoned whilst staying at the Abbey of Shrewsbury.

Cadfael finds someone from his past as he looks into the poisoning.
