STEVE HATCHER on some "Edwardian" Adventurers

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on September 1st 2024.

This week we welcome back STEVE HATCHER, and this week STEVE wanted to talk about two particular shows that he’s been enjoying recently that are based upon literary works, and which are both from a genre that we might like to call THE EDWARDIAN ADVENTURER, despite the fact that neither are truly set in the EDWARDIAN era, although they have a look about them that we have come to associate with those times

The shows are RAFFLES, from the mid 1970s, featuring ANTHONY VALENTINE and CHRISTOPHER STRAULI as a pair of gentleman crooks, and HANNAY, from the late 1980s, and featuring ROBERT POWELL not exactly fresh from playing the role in the 1978 movie THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS.
