Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism This week...more from the great Hammer studios as they craft a chilling tale of deceit and madness. A presumed-dead heir resurfaces, unraveling sinister family secrets. Gothic suspense intertwines with psychological twists, as greed, guilt, and identity collide in a haunting inheritance drama. Starring Oliver Reed and Janette Scott. Paranoiac (1963) Where secrets fester and madness reigns—welcome to the Ashby estate, where paranoia is just the beginning Paranoiac (1963), directed by Freddie Francis and produced by Hammer Films, is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into themes of identity, deception, and madness. Loosely based on Josephine Tey's novel Brat Farrar, the film is set against the backdrop of a wealthy but dysfunctional British family, the Ashbys, whose lives are marred by tragedy and secrets. The story begins with the Ashby siblings, Simon and Eleanor, living under the care of their strict Aunt Harriet after the death of their parents in a plane crash. Simon, a cruel and manipulative alcoholic, is weeks away from inheriting the family fortune. Eleanor, fragile and haunted by the past, struggles with her mental health, particularly after the apparent suicide of their elder brother, Tony, years earlier. The plot takes a dramatic turn when a man claiming to be Tony reappears, throwing the family into turmoil. While Eleanor is overjoyed and convinced of his identity, Simon and Aunt Harriet are skeptical, suspecting him to be an impostor. As tensions rise, the film unravels a web of deceit, revealing that "Tony" is indeed a conman hired by the family solicitor's son to cover up financial embezzlement. The narrative is further complicated by Simon's descent into madness, driven by guilt and greed. The eerie atmosphere is heightened by haunting organ music and a masked figure, adding layers of gothic suspense. The climax reveals shocking truths about the family's dark past, including Simon's role in Tony's death and Aunt Harriet's attempts to maintain a facade of normalcy. Oliver Reed delivers a standout performance as the volatile Simon, capturing the character's menace and vulnerability. The film's cinematography, with its shadowy visuals and dramatic angles, enhances the sense of unease, while Elisabeth Lutyens' haunting score underscores the psychological tension. Paranoiac is a masterful blend of gothic horror and psychological drama, showcasing Hammer Films' ability to craft compelling narratives that linger in the mind long after the credits roll.

This week, we cover a relatively early Alfred Hitchcock thriller, Young and Innocent (also known by The Girl was Young. A young man finds himself accused of a crime he didn't commit, and in his efforts to clear his name, he finds an unlikely ally in the constable's daughter. ***SPOILER ALERT*** We do talk about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we suggest you watch it before listening to our takes. Details: A Gaumont-British Picture released 11/1/1937. Produced Edward Black. Screenplay by Charles Bennett, Edwin Greenwood, and Anthony Armstrong, based on the novel A Shilling for Candles by Josephine Tey. Starring Nova Pilbeam, Derrick De Marney, Percey Marmont, John Longden, Edward Rigby, and Mary Clare. Cinematography by Bernard Knowles. Ranking: 30 out of 52.

Die britische Autorin Ruth Ware befindet sich in guter Gesellschaft. Ihre Mystery- und Thriller-Romane wurden schon mit Krimiautorinnen des Goldenen Zeitalters wie Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey und Dorothy L. Sayers verglichen. Ihre früheren Romane - Woman in Cabin 10, In einem dunklen, dunklen Wald und Wie tief ist deine Schuld - basieren auf klassischen Krimimustern und handeln von Frauen, die sich zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort befinden. Dieses Konzept hat sie im vorliegenden Roman verändert. Hier schreibt sie über eine Protagonistin, die sich absichtlich in eine trügerische Situation begibt. Es geht um Geld und es geht um eine sehr seltsame Erbschaft. Folge direkt herunterladen

Commonplace Quotes: Those who read poetry to improve their minds will never improve their minds by reading poetry, for the true enjoyments must be spontaneous and compulsive and look to no remoter end. The Muses will submit to no marriage of convenience. C. S. Lewis One of these days I shall write a book in which two men are seen to walk down a cul de sac, and there is a shot, and one man is found murdered, and the other runs away with a gun in his hand, and after twenty chapters stinking with red herrings, it turns out that the man with the gun did it after all. Dorothy L. Sayers The Listeners by Walter De La Mare ‘Is there anybody there?' said the Traveler, Knocking on the moonlit door; And his horse in the silence champed the grasses Of the forest's ferny floor: And a bird flew up out of the turret, Above the Traveler's head: And he smote upon the door again a second time; ‘Is there anybody there?' he said. But no one descended to the Traveler; No head from the leaf-fringed sill Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes, Where he stood perplexed and still. But only a host of phantom listeners That dwelt in the lone house then Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight To that voice from the world of men: Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair, That goes down to the empty hall, Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken By the lonely Traveler's call. And he felt in his heart their strangeness, Their stillness answering his cry, While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf, 'Neath the starred and leafy sky; For he suddenly smote on the door, even Louder, and lifted his head:— ‘Tell them I came, and no one answered, That I kept my word,' he said. Never the least stir made the listeners, Though every word he spake Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house From the one man left awake: Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup, And the sound of iron on stone, And how the silence surged softly backward, When the plunging hoofs were gone.

On this week's Book Club podcast we're talking about the best crime writer you've (probably) never heard of. As Penguin reissues three of Josephine Tey's classic Golden Age novels, I'm joined by Nicola Upson, whose own detective stories (most recently Dear Little Corpses) feature Tey as a central character. She tells me about the unique character of Tey's writing, her discreet private life, and about how she made possible the psychological crime fiction that we read now.

Together, they highlight the need for age to give way to youth so that Gen Z is inspired to vote, realizing that we are in a war for the future of diversity and civil rights, and that in abnormal times strengthening voting rights and bringing people to the polls is a necessity. ‘Ask Mary Anything' Email: MARY@POLITICON.COM Mary's Picks: Marlon James' “A Brief History of 7 Killings”, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Josephine Tey's “Miss Pym Disposes” & “The Franchise Affair”, and Ketel & Soda w/ Lime Get More From This Week's Guests: Giveing Their Recommendations For Joy & Chilling Out: Brian Karem: Twitter | Just Ask The Question Podcast | Author of “Free The Press” & Other Books Netflix's Stranger Things, H.L.

NICOLA UPSON chats to Paul Burke about DEAR LITTLE CORPSES, Josephine Tey, Margery Allingham, WWII, Golden Age crime, the Hitchcocks and Gielguds, not so cosy emotions and the fun of writing. DEAR LITTLE CORPSES: It takes a village to bury a child.1 September, 1939. As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside, but when a little girl vanishes without trace, the reality of separation becomes more desperate and more deadly for those who love her.In the chaos and uncertainty of war, Josephine struggles with the prospect of change. As a cloud of suspicion falls across the small Suffolk village she has come to love, the conflict becomes personal, and events take a dark and sinister turn.NICOLA UPSON's debut novel, An Expert in Murder, was the first in a series of crime novels whose main character is Josephine Tey, who - along with Agatha Christie - was one of the masters of Britain's Golden Age of crime writing. She was shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger in 2018 for Nine Lessons and longlisted in 2021 for The Dead of Winter.

P.D. James (1920-2014) was considered, along with Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey and Dorothy L. Sayers, one of the greatest British mystery writers. Most of her books involved a police commander and poet named Adam Dalgliesh, though she wrote several other novels, including the science fiction novel, “Children of Men,” which became a much-admired film in 2006. Two years before that novel was published, on February 1, 1990, Richard Lupoff and Richard Wolinsky interviewed P.D. James in the KPFA studios while she was on tour for her most recent Dalgliesh novel, “Devices and Desires.” Most of the interview centered on her career. After the interview, she wrote several more Dalgliesh novels, and concluded her career in 2011 with a murder mystery sequel to “Pride and Prejudice, “Death Comes to Pemberley,” which is available streaming through PBS Masterpieces, Amazon and Apple TV. The Dalgliesh adaptations are not currently streaming. “Children of Men” is available to rent on several services. “Probabilities” began in 1977 on KPFA as a science fiction/fantasy program, and expanded into mysteries and other genres shortly afterward. The name was dropped in 1995, long after the program had begun to include mainstream fiction and narrative non-fiction. In 2001, recording switched from analog to digital, and the surviving interviews each must be digitized and re-edited from the original back-up cassettes. Black & White photo: P.D. James in 1998, ANL/Shutterstock. The post The Probabilities Archive: P.D. James (1920-2014), 1990 appeared first on KPFA.
In this episode of Tart Words, Suzanne Fox and Linda Hengerer are discussing Mary Stewart's book The Ivy Tree and how she uses Brat Farrar, Josephine Tey's fictional take on a real-life situation, to guide the reader in one direction before taking them somewhere else. It was first published in 1961 by Hodder & Stoughton and is now available in ebook editions. Description from Amazon:Whitescar is a beautiful old house and farm situated in Roman Wall country. It will make a rich inheritance for its heirs, but in order to secure it, they enlist the help of a young woman named Mary who bears remarkable resemblance to missing Whitescar heiress, Annabel Winslow. Their deception will spark a powder-keg of ambition, obsession and long-dead love. The ivy had reached for the tree and only the tree's upper branches managed to thrust the young gold leaves of early summer through the strangling curtain. Eventually the ivy would kill it . . .Mary, Queen of Plots is a blog about Mary Stewart. If you're interested in book covers and book art, take a look at this blog post about The Ivy Tree.Takeaways for writers:In The Ivy Tree, missing heiress Annabel Winslow returns to her ancestral home Whitescar – or does she? Cousin Con has a plan to ensure his inheritance, and shows flashes of why Annabel might have left. The complicated family relationships are revealed as the story progresses, and misunderstandings are resolved as secrets are revealed.Exercises for writers:Secrets – How do you set up secrets? How do you reveal secrets? Do you plot out how secrets impact a character, or do you feel it out as you write? Not all secrets have to have life-altering consequences. In The Ivy Tree, Annabel is keeping her identity secret from both Con and Adam. Try adding a small secret into your work-in-progress: set it up and pay it off. Alternatively, write a short story and include a secret, big or small.Family Dynamics – All families have undercurrents based on prior history. How do you incorporate that into your work-in-progress? How do you reveal the past without doing an “As you know, Sibling/Spouse/Parent/Cousin…” info dump? Show tension between family members in your work-in-progress without directly referring directly to why things are tense (they already know), but give context to the reader in some way to get the reader up to speed with the conflict. In The Ivy Tree, Julie has given Mary/Annabel information she didn't have before. Can you do something similar by having one character share a memory that another character didn't realize they had, and give the reader critical information for the story to make sense via that shared memory?Familial Leverage – Con thinks he has leverage over Mary/Annabel because he can reveal she's a fraud to Grandfather Winslow. Mary/Annabel knows the truth, but also knows how volatile Con is. How do you have characters in your work-in-progress use leverage to get what they want?Cat and Mouse – In The Ivy Tree, Annabel knows she's the real deal but she's trying to keep that information from Con. For anything she does or says that he thinks she shouldn't know, she finds a logical, recent explanation. In your work-in-progress, how do you show the subtext of a conversation between characters in conflict? Do you use physical moves to mask an inadvertent reaction? Do you keep in mind what information each character has that they don't want to let the other character know, or know they know? Who wants to keep their secrets private, and who has the greater motivation to do so?

Diamond Dagger award-winning crime novelist and president of the Detection Club Martin Edwards and Richard Reynolds, crime buyer for Heffers Bookshop and member of the Crime Writers' Association, lead our investigation in this month's literary podcast. Together with the Slightly Foxed team, they take a magnifying glass to the Golden Age of crime fiction, tracing its origins to the interwar years when the Detection Club was founded and discussing why the genre continues to thrill. From relishing The Poisoned Chocolates Case and resurrecting Death of a Bookseller to the mystery of E. C. R. Lorac's missing manuscript and meeting Baroness Orczy's Teahouse Detective, the plot twists and turns as we collect British Library Crime Classics and celebrate Crime Queens Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Margery Allingham, Josephine Tey and others along the way. Whether enjoyed as well-crafted puzzles, social documents or guilty pleasures, detective fiction is laced with nostalgia as well as cyanide. To tie up loose ends, we finish with a visit to Agatha Christie's holiday home, Greenway, a house fit for Hercule Poirot, and the setting of a Devonshire murder hunt in Dead Man's Folly.

PODCAST DARK MYSTERIES Tuesday and Friday at 2am CET - Wednesday and Friday at 1pm CET. This program is hosted by Madeleine d'Este. This week, Madeleine talks about the book "Daughter of Time" by Josephine Tey.
In this episode we are joined by Alex Ramon, a film critic for the British Film Institute and Sight & Sound and our dear friend. Together we explore one of the loveliest of Hitchcock's British gems: an unassuming adaptation of a crime novel by Josephine Tey with Nova Pilbeam and Derrick De Marney in leading roles. Why the three of us like "Young and Innocent" so much? Check out the episode and let us know what you think about it.
Josephine Tey's classic mystery Miss Pym Disposes (1946) is the subject of this special episode of Backlisted, recorded as part of Aberdeen's Granite Noir festival on February 19th 2021. Joining John and Andy to explore the life and career of Josephine Tey AKA Gordon Daviot AKA Elizabeth MacKintosh (her real name) is Val McDermind, bestselling author and Tey's fellow Queen of Crime. Tey was the author of a series of highly successful novels, and film and TV adaptations, including Brat Farrar, The Franchise Affair and The Daughter of Time, yet she remains something of an enigma. As you'll hear, we thoroughly enjoyed immersing ourselves in her work and learning more about her from Val. Please note: this audio version of the podcast is longer and contains more material than the Granite Noir video webcast. If you would like to watch the original, it's currently available via the Granite Noir website or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omuqekhpM8A.

May's final book recommendation is The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey. In this intelligent and well-crafted mystery, Inspector Alan Grant investigates one of history's most notorious unsolved murders, the death of the princes in the tower.
What would be your pick for the greatest mystery novel? Murder on the Orient Express? The Nine Tailors? How about The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey? An unorthodox mystery to say the very least, the novel was selected by the British Crime Writers Association as the greatest crime novel of all time in 1990. What makes it so special, listen to the inaugural episode of The Whodunnit Show to find out. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
This fortnight we are talking about Josephine Tey's To Love and Be Wise, starring the immensely lovable Detective Alan Grant. This is an underappreciated mystery novel by an underappreciated author, in our humble opinions! Josephine Tey is the dark horse of this season, and the author we have shoehorned into our "Queens of Crime" category (displacing the better-known Agatha Christie). Her works are subtle and layered, and we hope that you will give them a try! Show Notes:Here is a link to a recent biography of Tey, Josephine Tey: A Life, by Morag Henderson.You can read more about Ronald Knox's Ten Commandments of Detective Fiction here. Please do also read the footnote for context about #5. 16 Times Brad Pitt Dressed Exactly Like His Girlfriends. A link to Phoebe Hessel's Wikipedia entry.

Nicola Upson's Josephine Tey mystery series began as research for a biography about a writer who captivated her imagination. . . and grew into a highly acclaimed long running mystery series centered on the life on one of literature's “lone wolves.” Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Nicola talks about why Tey is in a class of her own, how the 20s and 30s are still relevant for 21st century women, and her Cambridge radio show. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How Nicola became fascinated with Josephine TeyWhy imagination is truer than "facts"Dividing life between Cambridge and CornwallWhy the Between the Wars period was crucial for womenHow a famous painter inspired her latest bookWhy she loves a Virago Classics Where to find Nicola Upson: Facebook: @NicolaUpsonAuthor Twitter: @nicolaupsonbook Podcast: The Eclectic Light Show What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: Hello there, Nicola, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Nicola: It's great to be here, Jenny. I can't believe we're actually so far apart, so this is lovely. Nicola Upson mystery author Jenny: I know. Technology's a wondrous thing. It's predictable I know, but I like to begin with that "Once Upon A Time" question. Was there an epiphany moment where you thought, I've just got to write fiction or my life won't be what it's meant to be? And if so, what was the catalyst for it? Nicola: Well, I feel a bit fraudulent about it, Jenny, because there wasn't that sort of moment. I owe it to Josephine Tey who obviously we are going to come to talk about. The series really began about 25 years ago when I read her book The Franchise Affair and I thought it was just an extraordinary novel, so different from any of the ones written by her contemporaries and I wanted to find out more about her, because as much as we analyse Tey she has a wonderful characterization, a brilliantly rich sense of place, but there was just that voice. It's less hard to quantify than those reasons. And I found out that she, in her lifetime, was known just as well, if not better, as a playwright. She had several hits on the West End stage, one in particular called Richard of Bordeaux, and I thought it was very strange that somebody who had achieved as much as she had done in those two very different spheres hadn't had a full-length biography written about her. So that's what I set out to do. I'd only written non-fiction up to that point, I'd done some arts journalism and an art book and a theater book and it was the Tey biography that I wanted to do. But as you probably know she was a very private woman, she rolled the carpet of her personal life up quite closely and cleverly behind her and eventually the gaps became as intriguing as the facts. Josephine Tey - author of brilliance It was actually my partner Mandy who said to me one evening – we were staying in a National Trust holiday cottage on a beautiful Cornish estate and, yes, we had had a glass of wine or two – and she said to me “Oh for God's sake, just make it up” and that really is how the series started – to tell a truthful picture of Tey's life through a series of fictional murder mysteries in the genre that we know and love her best for these days. So purely by accident to answer your question, and if it weren't for Josephine Tey I don't know that I'd have written fiction at all, let alone as quickly as I did. Jenny: It's interesting that it seems you really came to truth through imagination rather than fact. Nicola: Yes, I think that's true. And for somebody who was as complex and in some ways contrary and contradictory as Josephine Tey was – as you probably know Josephine Tey wasn't her real name, her real name was Elizabeth Macintosh, but she also had another pseudonym, Gordon Daviot,

Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Catriona talks about why she loves the Golden Age of British mystery and how her new heroine Lexy Campbell views the California dream through Scottish eyes. But before we talk to Catriona, just a reminder that the show notes for this Binge Reading episode can be found on the website, The Joys of Binge Reading.com That's where you'll find a full transcript of our discussion, plus links to Cat's books and website, as well as details about how to subscribe to our podcast so you don't miss future episodes. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: Why it's important to write what you love How being unhappy at work got her started Her passion for the mythical world of Golden Age mystery The etiquette of leaving - and how Scots and Yankees do it differently Seeing the California dream through Scottish eyes What she'd do differently second time around Where to find Catriona McPherson: Website: http://catrionamcpherson.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Catriona-McPherson-171725286218342/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CatrionaMcP Blogs: Seven Criminal Minds: http://7criminalminds.blogspot.com/ Femme Fatale Blogspot: http://femmesfatales.typepad.com/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: But now, here's Catriona. . Hello there Catriona and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us Cat: Thanks for having me Jenny Author Catriona McPherson Jenny: Beginning at the beginning - was there a “Once Upon A Time" moment when you decided you wanted to write fiction? And if there was a catalyst, what was it? Catriona: There was a time when I was a young teenager, when I was thirteen or fourteen when I wanted to be a writer, that what I wanted to do for a job But it was frowned upon but I had a careers adviser who told me it was daft, that it wasn't a good idea, So I shelved that idea and it was only when I was 35 and I had a job that I hated that I came back to it and by then there wasn't anyone who could tell me I couldn't do it.... so I had a long, long hiatus. Jenny: You're extremely versatile - you've successfully proven yourself in three different genres - historical mysteries, dark “stand alone” thrillers, and your latest book Scot Free which launches a new California laugh out loud funny mystery series. But let's start with the Dandy Gilver, and your Scottish mysteries set in the 1920's and 30's in a big country house . . - the "Scottish Downton Abbey" You're up to Number 12 in this series now. They've gathered an armful of awards and a dedicated following - Tell us about writing # 1 “After the Armistice.” I presume this was your first completed MS? After the Armistice Ball - Dandy Gilver # 1 Catriona: Well no actually it's not, the first MS I finished was a modern literary novel - or anyway a novel - and after I got 40 rejections, I was feeling a bit glum, and I put it in a drawer, and my husband Neil suggested that I should write something I loved as a "palate cleanser" just for fun. And what I loved was the Golden Age of Mystery - it's not really a historical period, because it's a cultural space - a bit of history and a lot of writing tradition... and he said write of them just for fun, because everyone who writes them is dead, so just for fun I wrote the first Dandy Gilver story, because I love Dorothy Sayers and Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh and Michael Innes and Josephine Tey and all that lot . . and as you say I am up to Number 12 now, so my palate cleanser went very well indeed. Jenny: It really feels as if you knew the time,

The term historical fiction covers a wide range from what the mystery writer Josephine Tey once dubbed “history with conversation” to outright invention shading into fantasy. But behind every story set in the past lies the past itself, as re-created by scholars from the available evidence. This interview features Helen Rappaport, whose latest work reveals the historical background behind the Masterpiece Theater miniseries Victoria, due to air in the United States this month. Rappaport served as historical consultant to the show. The Queen Victoria who gave her name to an age famous for a prudishness so extreme that even tables had limbs, not legs, is nowhere evident in Rappaport’s book, the television series, or the novel by Daisy Goodwin, also titled Victoria, that gave rise to the series. Victoria: The Heart and Mind of a Young Queen (Harper Design, 2017) explores in vivid, compelling prose the letters, diaries, and other documents associated with the reign of a strong-minded, passionate, eager, inexperienced girl who took the throne just after her eighteenth birthday. This Victoria loved to ride, resisted marriage, fought to separate herself from her mother, detested her mother’s close adviser, and became infatuated with her prime minister before transferring her affections to Prince Albert, who initially did not impress her. Wildly devoted to her husband, she bore nine children but hated being pregnant and regarded newborn infants as ugly. Even her name caused controversy: christened Alexandrina, she switched to Victoria on taking the throne, overriding critics who insisted that Elizabeth or Charlotte were more suitable appellations for a British monarch. By the time she died sixty-three years later, entire generations understood the word “queen”as synonymous with “Victoria.” Although the most powerful woman in the world, Victoria here makes some serious mistakes, as any eighteen-year-old thrust into the center of politics would. If she had no social media to record every misstep, she also had no publicity managers or image brokers to spin her rash remarks or misjudgments. As Daisy Goodwin notes in the foreword to this book, Victoria had to grow up in public, and she left a precious record of that journey in her own exquisite handwriting. But since this is the official companion volume to a television show, it also includes details about casting and costuming, as well as numerous photographs of the actors and background information about the times. It makes a perfect starting point for a discussion of history and historical fiction, their differences and similarities, and how to observe the requirements of one without violating the precepts of the other. C. P. Lesley is the author of six novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, and The Swan Princess), a historical fiction series set in 1530s Russia, during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible.
