Tom Chambers, known for his role in Father Brown, recently shared his delight at reuniting with a former Holby City co-star during the filming of the BBC One detective drama’s 13th series. The show, which stars Mark Williams as the astute crime-solving Roman Catholic priest, premiered earlier this month, much to fans' excitement.
Among the guest stars this season is Alex Macqueen, who played Keith Greene on Holby City from 2005 to 2010. Tom and Alex previously worked together when Tom portrayed Sam Strachan on the medical drama. Reflecting on their on-set reunion, Tom remarked, “He appeared in the seaside episode and is such a funny guy. Off-camera, during rehearsals, he’d often switch up his voice or do something to make us all laugh.”
He added, “There was lots of hilarious, harmless fun happening on set throughout the series.”

Tom also expressed his appreciation for the guest actors joining the show, saying, “Working with the guest actors is such a treat. The casting is wonderful—they always perfectly embody their roles. Some are seasoned performers, while others are appearing in one of their first few jobs. It’s always fascinating to meet different actors, share stories, and bring these fantastic characters to life together.”
In Father Brown, Tom portrays Inspector Edgar Sullivan, a character whose storyline last season included marrying his love interest Isabel, played by Claudie Blakley. The current series picks up with the newlyweds navigating married life, while Isabel becomes involved with the Policeman’s Wives Society.
Claudie Blakley recently hinted at challenges ahead for the couple, explaining, “There’s a little bit of ‘adjusting’ going on. Not only have they just gotten married, but Edgar has been demoted, adding some pressure to their relationship.” She also noted, “They’re figuring out the right place to live and debating which furniture should take priority!”
Father Brown continues to captivate audiences with its charming blend of mystery, character development, and period setting, drawing inspiration from G.K. Chesterton’s classic short stories.
