VISION ON SOUND EPISODE FORTY-THREE - TX AUGUST 1 2021 - LITERARY DETECTIVES


Listen Later

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on August 1st 2021

Episode forty-three of VISION ON SOUND finds regular guest contributor PAUL CHANDLER returning for a bit of a natter that is - at least initially - supposed to be all about literary detectives as seen on our television screens.

In another of our rambling conversations roaming around the topic in question, we talk about shows that it might surprise you to find are inspired by literature like HETTY WAINTHROPP INVESTIGATES and VERONICA MARS, a show inspired by other literary detectives - MURDER, SHE WROTE - involving a writer of crime literature, and even THE HARDY BOYS/NANCY DREW MYSTERIES and THE FAMOUS FIVE. We also touch upon HART TO HART (inspired by Dashiell Hammett's THE THIN MAN), JEMIMA SHORE INVESTIGATES, FATHER BROWN and CADFAEL, as well as, naturally, MISS MARPLE in her various iterations, and SHERLOCK HOLMES in his.

Along the way, we briefly dabble with LORD PETER WIMSEY, MISS FISHER'S MURDER MYSTERIES, CAMPION, and even shows like ANGEL, MOONLIGHTING and JONATHAN CREEK get a nod - even if perhaps they shouldn't in this context - as variations on the theme and televisual portrayals of the literary form of the locked-room mystery, and, because it's Paul, BERGERAC gets a mention as we inevitably vanish into the worlds of television detectives in general, although we do finally get back on track with POIROT, WEXFORD, DALGLEISH, MAIGRET, and, whilst we don't actually get around to INSPECTOR MORSE this time around, we do at least ponder upon returning to him at some point.

PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
