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.

The Wicker Man meets the Carry on team
Great, spooky, fantastic fun. In the style of vintage BBC radio plays of the 1950s-60s. Hope audible bring out the last in this series. Love it

Great fun!
Funny, silly, and clever. I loved the tale and the acting. The character of the duke of Kent had me howling with laughter, especially when he took to the stage in the merry wives of Windsor. Light hearted and witty--enjoy!
