This latest episode of the podcast finds Marcus and Tabby delving into the seedy and murky world of 1950's private eye, Mike Hammer. Only the for some reason it isn't the fifties it's the nineties, and you know, the fifties and the nineties are kinda different right? Right? Which begs the question, how did this ever get to be on actual telly? Still this show has everything, gambling, horses, murder, dogs playing cards, horses, action, mystery and a whole lot more! However the biggest mystery is why didn't the bafoons who make this podcast manage to schedule something Christmassy this week???
Enjoy if you can and thanks for listening if you are. Drop us a line etc.

This episode of the podcast (the world continues to ignore) reunites Marcus and Tabby with an old adversary and it's fair to say that neither is very happy about it.
The time is 1994. The place is the fictional town of Denton. The colours are brown and beige. The man is Frost, Jack Frost, yes like the weather thing, haha, pretty funny huh? It's grim, it's poorly constructed, it makes no sense and it shows no sign of ending. But on this one they talk about Frost and he's played by David Jason so you are obliged, by law, to listen to it. And you better bloody well like it too.

Welcome to episode 9 of possibly the most self-effacing podcast in the entire world. Up for discussion this week are topics as diverse as catching your winky in the fly, deals with the devil and the difference between real fire and videos of real fire. In between these snatches of podcast, er, gold, Marcus and Tabby get deep into the 1980's detective quagmire that is Hunter. Expect music, music and more music, plus a lot of fire.

Join Marcus and Tabby as they join Jonathan and Jennifer Hart who in turn join a Broadway production of an ill-advised piece of musical theatre. Is this the worst assassin in the history of everything? Why do theatre people take so long to exact their revenge?? And why, why, why, why oh blooming why is there so much filler in this programme??? Not that we can talk of course, about filler I mean, and things being too long, and not really making sense, and going on and on and on forever, without ever seeming like they are going to en............

On this episode of the podcast (nobody asked for) Marcus and Tabby are up to their necks in Agatha Christie, and sinking fast. When a hapless robber winds up dead in a posh living room the cast of possible suspects grows like a sodding virus. Who knew that this was actually a mini-series? Who knew that it was the best part of THREE hours long?? And does anybody know what is actually going on??? Tabby gets excited about a special guest and there are problems delivering a duvet, and a dog. Meanwhile, as Marcus struggles to come to terms with the plot, the character names and the run time, this turns into the longest podcast yet.
It is worth remembering that neither Marcus nor Tabby are an professional broadcaster, perhaps skip this one. If you don't, then remember, you HAVE been warned.

Come on a journey with Marcus and Tabby as they get all hot and bothered down under. It's the 'Swinging Twenties' and anything goes for the liberated and sassy lady detective, Phryne Fisher. This mystery has everything, death, the supernatural, revenge, Gilbert and Sullivan... but is this the most poorly explained plot so far? Also, why on earth does everything smell like hyacinths? There is major controversy surrounding a bonus point and why the bloody heck aren't these things getting shorter? Streuth.
Thanks for listening if you are, and hey, why not tell a friend about it!

Join Marcus and Tabby as they discuss a true classic of the TV Detective genre. Morse is not only an actual serving policeman, he solves real actual proper crimes and he does it in a real life location. Motives are real. Suspects are complex and there is a big win on the predictions front. Is the tide finally turning or has Tabby gone three-nil up? There's only one way to find out, assuming that you care at all. Naturally.
Don't forget to tell your friends and you can tweet us @detect_inspect if you wanna get in touch.

It's episode 4 of the podcast and Marcus and Tabby have taken a trip to Bristol to check in with Radio West's resident "Private Ear" Eddie Shoestring. The possibility of a detective-programme-butterfly-effect is explored and just what does Shoestring do in this episode? Must the quality of the cast be inversely proportional to the quality of the plot and why is nobody concerned that a man was thrown into the sea and left for dead? Also Mick Jagger's brother, Ronnie Wood's doppleganger and some terrible accents. Oh yes and Toyah Willcox is in this one too.
Any complaints about the humorous quality of this podcast should be addressed to Trevor Eve, Ingrams Drive, Redditch.

Welcome one and all to the fictional island of Jersey for this look into the thrilling world of Bergerac. Marcus and Tabby are in high spirits as they pick apart a plot that is not nearly as confusing as anyone remembers this show being. Take a trip to the Bloody Hotel, eat a big pot of mussels and decide for yourself whether or not Charlie Hungerford is a KENT. Everybody involved hopes you enjoy the podcast and apologises for the audio quality, and everything else.
**Due to 'circumstances beyond the producers control' this episode of the podcast comes from a shadowy archive of 'practice' records that were never 'meant' for 'publication'. Please bear with us, neither Marcus nor Tabby are an professional broadcaster.**

In this, the tricky second episode, Marcus and Tabby tackle 1990's medieval monk-cum-detective Cadfael. There is confusion over the pronunciation of just about every characters name, nobody seems to know what a chattel is and why exactly is this leper colony on the main road? Also: Derek Jacobi on a donkey, how quickly can you become a nun and just why is this episode so long? Thanks for listening if you are.
