Man Bait

Adam is your guide for Hammer's 1952 thriller Man Bait - starring George Brent and Diana Dors - a twisty tale of deceit, murder and blackmail...

Elsewhere Cev examines the many differences between American and British film titles and running times, Smokey looks at the origins of blackmail itself, Ben has a little help from a special guest to learn about the lives of jobbing actors, and Adam quizzes the table on some rather unusual words...

Cloudburst

Take Adam’s hand as he leads you through a strangely civilised rampage of revenge. We’ve landed on Hammer’s exquisitely entertaining 1951 thriller, ‘Cloudburst’

As well extolling the virtues of this criminally under-seen masterpiece of British cinema, we also have a tribute from Cev to our newest Hammer Hero, Sheila Burrell, a trip to the squared circle with Smokey, and a cryptic dive into the world of codebreaking from Ben!

The Rossiter Case

Smokey’s in the driving seat this time as the team take a look at Hammer’s 1951 drama, The Rossiter Case. And their opinions on the film itself may well surprise you…

What The Butler Saw

Cev is at the door to welcome you, m’luds, as we take a gentlemanly stroll into the wilds of Hammer’s 1950 “comedy”, What The Butler Saw…

Yes, yes, yes, your initial impressions that this is to be a peepshow-arama are well founded, but where exactly does the phrase “What The Butler Saw” actually come from? Who was Henry Mollison, otherwise known as “The Butler”? And how much do you actually know about big game hunting?

Oh, and what is the film itself actually like?

Believe it or not, all these questions shall be answered in this quite unique episode of The House Of Hammer…

Someone At The Door

Ben’s your butler this time, as he whisks you through the next room in The House Of Hammer!

Our feature is 1950’s Someone At The Door directed by Francis Searle, and starring Michael Medwin, Hugh Latimer, Yvonne Owen, Danny Green and Garry Marsh. But is it a case of “Come right in” or “Let’s hide behind the sofa and pretend we’re not at home”?

As well as the movie itself, Cev will be inducting a new Hammer Hero, Ben will be taking you through some secret passages, Smokey turns agony aunt, and Adam explains the sometimes preposterous terms used to describe violent crime!

The Man In Black

Welcome along to room thirteen in The House Of Hammer, as your host, Adam, unlocks the door behind which resides a very special inhabitant…

1950’s The Man In Black is arguably the first real “Hammer” movie, but why? What makes it stand out? Could it be the fact that the whole plot hinges around MURDER BY YOGA? Could it be the presence of a diabolical villain? Or could it be because it contains the very first glimpse of a house that Hammer fans know all too well?

Join Adam, Ben, Cev and Smokey as they tour you through men in black, sinister ghost stories, unmistakeable cackles and unforgettable locations…
