Dash me optics! Jago And Litefoot!
Yes, it's official, apparently, thirty-odd years after it was first thought of, and audio only, but they've already recorded a series of full cast adventures, following on from their Companion Chronicle last year.

An old enemy? Magnus Greel? Somehow. They should go the whole hog and do the Oak and Quil spin off.

For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.
...Oh, who am I kidding?

Jago and Litefoot are on the case~!
Following an outing in the Companion Chronicles (which was really good), Jago and Litefoot are getting their own series~! I'm really rather looking forward to it. It's been a long time coming.
1.1 The Bloodless Soldier
Written by Justin Richards
Directed by Lisa Bowerman
Featuring Alex Lowe, John Banks, Robin Bowerman and Alex Mallinson
A group of soldiers return from overseas service – but they have brought a terrible evil back with them. As death strikes on the streets of London, Sergeant Quick calls upon the help of Professor Litefoot, while an old enemy lurks in the shadows. Jago and Litefoot are on the trail of the Bloodless Soldier – and tragedy will hit close to them...
1.2 The Bellova Devil
Written by Alan Barnes
Directed by Lisa Bowerman
Featuring Stephen Thorne, Duncan Wisbey and Alex Mallinson
A body is found on the Circle Line, wearing full dress uniform. It as identified as Reginald Colville – a man who was certified dead some six weeks ago! In an attempt to solve the mystery Jago and Litefoot become unwilling bodysnatchers... And thus begins a chain of events that will pit them against killer Bulgars and the mysterious machinations of the Far-Off Travellers Club...
1.3 The Spirit Trap
Written by Jonathan Morris
Directed by John Ainsworth
Featuring Janet Henfrey and Lex Shrapnel
Ellie Higson believes that spiritualist Mrs Vanguard can hear the voices of the dead, but Henry Gordon Jago thinks it’s all superstition and theatrical trickery. But if Vanguard is a harmless fake, then why have some of those who have attended her sceances disappeared so mysteriously? Jago and Litefoot investigate... And find themselves facing a deadly foe from the afterlife.
1.4 The Similarity Engine
Written by Andy Lane
Directed by Lisa Bowerman
When Jago takes a tumble on an unseasonably icy road, he ends up in hospital. But this is no ordinary medical establishment, and the patients are suffering from no ordinary illnesses. At last, the fiendish scheme of Dr Tulp is drawing to its cataclysmic climax. The Similarity Engine is operational. And a new, improved model of mahogany murderers have been unleashed...Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

They had so much fun making it that they've commissioned a second series before the first has been released.
Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

Two - if you please - mouth open and mouth closed. If it's rubber-faced excitement you're after then I suggest you buy the audio adventures of Phil Cool instead.

I have an image in my mind's eye of Messrs Benjamin and Baxter locked in a BF studio, being forced to record as many of these as possible one after another, in case one of them dies soon and ruins the franchise.
And is that Mover Poul in the middle, or Mawdryn ?Bazinga !

I've spent a happy hour or so this morning listening to The Mahogany Murders. Wonderful stuff- it's really rather lovely to hear the two of them back in action, back together and about to take on the dastardly criminal underworld of Victorian London.
It felt true to their origins in Talons- I liked the way they interrupted each other, critisised each other's narration and acting skills and how they both got wrapped in the enthusiasm of being back in the investigative roles. A real triumph and quite wonderful.

It's going to be like when my dad got the 'Live Aid' DVD and we spent the whole of Christmas morning watching bloody Ultravox. Only this time with Elderly Victorian Gentlemen instead of Eighties Synth-pop musicians!

I've come very close to buying it before now but it's never quite been the right price or I've wanted something else more. Also if I can buy directly from Big Finish I will do as I like getting the downloads as well as the CDs.

I got series one off E-Bay, and although I've only listened to the first two they are indeed well worth 20 of your English pounds.
(mumble mumble could have offered series 2 for £20 as well mumble mumble.....)Bazinga !

It's now in my downloads account.
I still wish Big Finish would split their boxset releases into individual play downloads as having a single file containing four plays is a real pain.

I wonder if both CC and Jago S2's will follow, if these offers are a hit.
I've bought mine! Not sure why. It's an offer innit? I'm getting Iris in the December sale!
