Filthy '47 - An Audio Serial in Four Parts

Hi all,

Seeking to pay affectionate tribute to vintage British comedy-thrillers - Hitchcock, Launder & Gilliat, etc, plus a bit of Biggles - we put together this four-part, full cast audio serial.

England. 1947. Former Land Girls Joyce and Kay stumble upon a sinister plot to plunge the world back into war...

Interesting, i saw "the 39 steps" comic play twice and thoroughly enjoyed it. Looks like you are aiming at a similar period feel. So good luck with the project.

Was slightly confused that you are describing it as audio but showing an arty, visual 2min promo. Is it going to be purely audio or graphic like the promo?

Many thanks for your interest. Mrs Nettlefold and I also thoroughly enjoyed that excellent theatrical tribute to Hitchcock's classic 39 Steps.

FILTHY '47 is indeed an audio project - all four parts, each of around 30-35 minutes, can be listened to or downloaded at the Podbean link above - and it's also available on other podcast platforms. (Although the ideal delivery device would of course be a crackly old valve wireless or radiogram.)

However, since it pays not to neglect the eye in this visually-oriented age, we commissioned (ourselves to produce) a promotional video in the hope that it might entice potential listeners.

If you've a substantial chunk of your life to spare (and the attention span of a Galapagos tortoise) the full-length promo - or "mega trailer" in modern parlance - is in glorious monochrome, and runs a shamefully self-indulgent 11 minutes or so:
