about
Series 1 of Baldi was broadcast weekly on BBC Radio 4 in 2000 as part of the Afternoon Play during January and February. It is occasionally repeated on BBC Radio 7 with the latest 5th series airing in 2008. Father Paolo Baldi is a Franciscan priest who solves crimes with the help of Dublin Gardai policewoman Detective Inspector Tina Mahon. A relationship that is frowned upon by Father Troy, Baldi's superior. Though Baldi solves the causes using his analytical skills, he does not earn the respect of other Gardai officers such as Detective Sergeant Rynne who tries to keep Baldi from the scenes of crime, witnesses and DI Mahon. Father Baldi is in Ireland on a sabbatical from the Franciscan order where he is a priest. Whilst on his sabbatical he is working as a university lecturer in semiotics. Throughout the series he has conflicting thoughts of his faith and his feelings for DI Mahon. There are some great humorous scenes between Father Baldi and his house keeper Mrs Reid, such as his inability to sometimes pay the rent and her cooking skills.
