    The Man Who Could Cheat Death
    Apr 22 2024
    Everlasting life - the dream of man and AA battery alike.

    We have a look at Hammer's 1959 take on the perils of immortality, as Anton Diffring stars as Dr Georges Bonnet - a remarkably youthful-looking 104 year-old man with a terrible secret...

    Ben overcomes oral complications to host the episode, Adam leads the discussions, Cev talks immortality (not at all borne from personal experience) and Smokey takes a good, long look at Hazel Court...

    We're un-safely back in Hammer comedy territory for now and making the sort of-most of it with a show that does what it can.

    Surely Ben will be happier with this than The Ugly Duckling?
    Is it possible this film mirrors any kind of true life situation?

    Isn't it about time another Hammer Hero is announced?

    All will be revealed.

    We're safely back in Hammer Horror territory for now and making the most of it with a bumper show that really does walk like an Egyptian...

    Cev's your tour guide and this time with a very well known guest. Ben is up to his neck in bandages, Adam appears to be even more cursed than normal and Smokey's rocking out in his corner.

    Yesterday's Enemy
    Mar 11 2024
    Adam leads us into the thick, sweaty Burmese jungle where things aren't going too well for nearly all concerned...

    There are spoilers abound as the powerful piece goes under the House of Hammer microscope. Smokey looks at the staggering critical reaction that paved the way to four BAFTA nominations, Ben examines some ecclesiastical heroism and Cev welcomes another kind of hero to the hall of legends

  • The Ugly Duckling

    The Ugly Duckling
    Feb 26 2024
    Sound the Bernard Bresslaw klaxon! One of the most inexplicable leading men in British cinema is back as Hammer take their first stab at the Jekyll and Hyde formula in this 1959 comedy.“Square nothing” Henry Jekyll stumbles across his great great grandfather's recipe for transformation, and uses it to turn into the super-confident Teddy Hide - with hilarious results.

    Well, results…

    Ben is on hosting duties, Smokey looks into Robert Louis Stevenson’s inspiration for the original novella, Cev gets us ready for the future adaptations to come, and Adam leads the discussion on what we thought of the film…

    We're back for the first feature episode of 2024, and once more we're taking a look at a 1958 Hammer military comedy with 'I Only Arsked'

    A small band of soldiers - including Bernard Breslaw (whom Cev takes a detailed look at), Michael Medwin and Charles Hawtrey - are shipped off to the Middle East to help prevent a coup. Naturally, not everything goes to plan...Also, Ben takes a look at polygyny and Smokey talks about The Army Game (the series on which I Only Arked is based).
