Publisher's summary
The Scarifyers is a series of rip-roaring tales of comedic supernatural intrigue set in 1930s Britain, distilling the likes of Dick Barton, The Avengers, The Devil Rides Out and Quatermass into cracking new audio adventures.
The Scarifyers is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and has been described in the national press as "a slice of audio perfection," "the smartest and most enjoyable thing on British radio," and "like Tintin but with the lights out."
This is the ninth Scarifyers adventure, and stars David Warner (The Omen, Time Bandits), Terry Molloy (Doctor Who, The Archers) and Guy Henry (Holby City, Extras).
Midsummer, 1938. When a train porter is frozen to his living room chair (then nearly crowned Miss Croydon), MI:13's Harry Crow (David Warner) and Professor Dunning (Terry Molloy) are on the case. But what links the unfortunate porter to the equally glaciated peer-of-the-realm, Lord Trumpley?
MI:13's investigations lead them to an exclusive gentleman's establishment, the Tartarus Club, whose membership appears to be rapidly dwindling. What is the secret of the Tartarus Club? Why are the villagers of Thornton Gibbet afraid of a 300-year-old ghost? And why is it snowing in June? As everlasting winter sets in, Crow and Dunning find themselves pitted against their greatest foe yet... the King of Winter.

Works for me!
This was pretty much what i had hoped for; a fine combination of British absurdity and witty cultural/political satire with smart, funny references to prior comic masterpieces from Shakespeare (with great jokes about over the top productions of Shakespeare and their all being blamed on women directors) to Father Ted. Wish i knew who voice actors are-- one sounded so like John Cleese, but surely he would be noted, yes? In any case, VG.

the worst scarifyers ive heard
Dont bother buying this. I I love Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart.He's missing from this. I'm referring to Nicholas Courtenenay. This was an extension form the series which should have just stopped when he passed away.IMO.
