This week, we’re in Golden Age Of Detective Fiction country, as we look at the two Nero Wolfe movies, based upon Rex Stout’s imnimitable, beer-guzzling, orchid-loving detective and his loyal sidekick, Archie Goodwin!

We’ll also hear from a very interrupty rubber salesman, take a visit to see if we can guess Who The Hell Is That Hollywood Legend, and luxuriate in a radio detective double-bill…

CELEBRATE the birthdays of Adam and his all-time favourite movie star, this week's guest of honour: the one and only Mr James Cagney.

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'.
