Good afternoon all,
It occurred to me that members of this esteemed forum might be amused to hear of a current project influenced by the works of those vintage British thriller writers - Dennis Wheatley, Dornford Yates, Eric Ambler, et al – said to have inspired 007’s creator.
(Early Hitchcock films and Captain WE Johns’ Biggles adventures might be added to the above list of reference points. And for those of you with long memories of forum topics past, the old Orson Welles/Moonraker project also has some significance.)
For anyone who may be all interested, a trailer/promo video can be viewed at:

Just a cordial reminder that all four episodes of Filthy '47 can be downloaded free from various podcast platforms.
(Look out for a brief allusion to the tragic deaths of a certain superspy's parents near the end of Episode 2.)
