The Adventures of Sexton Blake

[JAS]

Thought this might appeal to some of you chaps out there. The time difference might be a bit of a bugger but hopefully it'll be on their listen again thing or might even get onto Youtube. anyway it sounds like a hoot...sort of like a cross between TinTin and Sherlock Holmes with comedy

Sexton Blake! The name that spells hurtling adventure and doom for villainy. Britain's iconic and most prolifically chronicled sleuth explodes back into action in a brand new series of thrilling adventures; 40 years after his last public incarnation.

In a series of thrilling adventures packed with incident and hilarity, Sexton Blake (Simon Jones), and his plucky assistant Tinker (Wayne Forester), aided by Mrs Bardell (June Whitfield) battle diabolical masterminds, bewitching thieves and sinister fiends, out-thinking them in the head and out-punching them in the jaw!

This cinematic audio romp is a period-set reinvention of Blake's glory years - during the 1920s and 30s and includes a cameo appearance by BBC Radio's 1960s Sexton Blake - the late, legendary and coolly dashing William Franklyn.

This explains what it is...
