OH BOY
WHAT A SILLY QUESTION
I'm more into the books than the show, and I've consumed every single TV, film, and radio adaptation! Even the ones in German and Italian! Even though I don't speak a word of Italian! My blog header on mobile is actually Flambeau from the 70s Italian miniseries!
I'm also Aristide Valentin stan no.1, he's my poor little meow meow, I literally spent weeks researching pre-WW1 maps of London to try and figure out the route Valentin took from Liverpool Street to Hampstead Heath so that I could go on my own trip and follow in his footsteps. And literally no onscreen adaption has ever done him properly. 😭😭 The radio adaptations are better in that regard.
The 1984 BBC radio adaptation is the one and only adaptation that even pronounces Valentin's name properly. Coincidentally it's also the only adaptation to have an actual Frenchman on the cast. 😂 To by best count, Flambeau has been played by 3 Englishmen, 3 Americans, an Italian, a Welshman, a Hungarian, an Austrian, a German, and one (1) actual Frenchman.
As far as adaptations go, the 1974 TV series and the 80s and 00s radio adaptations are both the best as faithful adaptations, and the gayest, though the 1934 movie has a very special place in my heart. It has low budget early Hayes code charm. I love the flat painted London backdrop and the milk in wine glasses. I love the doggy and I love obviously Hungarian Flambeau because early hollywood just thought "as long as he sounds foreign".
But honestly every adaptation has something I love about it, even the really weird ones. You have to check out the failed pilot for an American modern day adaptation set in New York made in the early 80s sometime. It's barely recognisable as Father Brown but it's a lot of fun. Flambeau isn't in that one but Father Brown does have a dog which is nearly as good.
But I do hope you enjoy the books! The Secret Garden, The Invisible Man, and The Eye of Apollo are my favourite FB book stories by MILES
