The Little Grey Cellblocks

In this week’s show…

It’s a beautiful affair indeed, as we’re visited a church quartet with a very transgressive message…

Brook Darnell pops in to talk about Golden Age detectives!

Frank Sinatra provides a duo of musical escapes…

We’ve got two wildly different movies to tell you about, including a prison escape thriller starring Clark Gable, Joan Crawford and Jesus Christ (!) in 1940’s Strange Cargo - plus Austin Trevor as the screen’s first Hercule Poirot in 1934’s Lord Edgware Dies…

Radio entertainment comes courtesy of Agatha Christie and Harold Huber…

The Queen Of Crime

This week, murder’s in the air as we take a look at two Golden Age examples of Agatha Christie movie adaptations!

Firstly, Charles Laughton is attempting to determine the guilt of Tyrone Power in Billy Wilder’s stunning 1957 screen take on Witness For The Prosecution. And then it’s sleuthing ahoy with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple, in 1961’s Murder, She Said!

Radio entertainment comes in the form of an Agatha Christie double-bill; Orson Welles plays Hercule Poirot in The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, and the Molle Mystery Theatre adapt Witness For The Prosecution.

There’s music from Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong, and another chance for you to see if you can guess… Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend?

The New Adventures

Episode 7: The New Adventures...

This week's episode is a belt-buster, with reviews of 'Lucky Jordan', 'And Then There Were None', 'Charlie Chan In Egypt' and 'Bluebeard's Eighth Wife'.

Rita Cansino pops up in one of them, but which one? And who is she, anyway?

Thrill to not one, but two radio shows this week, as Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce get severely uncomfortable on 'The Uneasy Easy Chair', and share an early caper with 'The April Fools Day Adventure'.
