Cadfael
1994–1998, English, on ITV1. Created by Edith Pargeter.
A monk with a difference... who delves into the human soul and manages to get criminals and evil people to either turn over a new way of living or just face their punishment.
Brother Cadfael is a twelfth-century Anglo-Welsh monk. A retired crusader disappointed in love, and now a herbalist in charge of the gardens of Shrewsbury Abbey, Brother Cadfael is often called on to solve murders and other crimes in and around Shrewsbury, Shropshire, in the border country where England meets Wales.
