All thirteen episodes of the 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 (Norman Eshley) and Iveta De Massard
(Tara Fitzgerald). 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. 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
(Bernard Gallagher) is poisoned whilst staying at the Abbey of
Shrewsbury. Cadfael finds someone from his past as he looks into
the poisoning. In 'The Virgin in the Ice' Cadfael has to prove the
innocence of his novice, Oswin (Mark Charnock), who is accused of
murdering a nun after he is found wandering deliriously. In 'The
Devil's Novice', Cadfael is suspicious when a young man, Meriet
(Christien Anholt), arrives at Shrewsbury Abbey wishing to become a
Novice. Canon Eluard (Ian McNeice) shares Cadfael's doubts as to
Meriet's intentions, and when the half-burned body of a colleague
is discovered, Meriet is accused of murder. In 'A Morbid Taste For
Bones', Cadfael reluctantly accompanies an expedition to dig up the
grave of St Winifred, after one of the Shrewsbury monks has a
vision. He soon finds himself investigating a murder, when Lord
Rhysart (John Hallam) is found dead on a forest track with an arrow
in his chest. Robert (Michael Culver) believes the culprit to be
Godwin, who was having an affair with Rhysart's daughter, Sioned
(Anna Friel). However, Cadfael has other ideas. In 'The Rose Rent',
the recently-widowed of a rich merchant becomes an attraction for
the men of Shrewsbury, until one of her suitors and a monk are
murdered. In 'St Peter's Fair', conflict arises between the
townspeople of Shrewsbury and visitors to the annual fair. In 'The
Raven in the Foregate', Cadfael has a double murder to solve when a
pregnant girl and a priest who refused to hear her confession are
both killed. In 'The Holy Thief', Cadfael is on the hunt for a
beautiful slave girl and the bones of St Winifred, both of which
have mysteriously disappeared from the Abbey. In 'The Potter's
Field', Cadfael uncovers a terrible web of jealousy, adultery and
suicide pacts when he examines the past of a potter who has entered
the monastery under suspicious circumstances. Finally, in 'The
Pilgrim of Hate', an old man's corpse is found in a sack in the
Abbey, and Cadfael must find his killer.
