    The Adventures of Sexton Blake
    In a series of thrilling adventures packed with incident and hilarity, Sexton Blake, (Simon Jones) and his plucky assistant Tinker (Wayne Forester), aided by Mrs Bardell (June Whitfield) battle diabolical masterminds, bewitching thieves and sinister fiends, out-thinking them in the head and out-punching them in the jaw! Also featured in this cinematic audio romp from Award-Winning Dirk Maggs is a cameo from BBC Radio's original Sexton Blake — the legendary and coolly dashing William Franklyn. Transmitting from a BBC 2 wireless station near you ... SOON! And listen out for THE HUNT FOR SEXTON BLAKE documentary!

    Hi Doc -- I think the problem lies with the method used to reprint the stories. They were scanned. As I understand it, the book was produced at great speed to meet a slot in the Christmas displays. I'm pretty sure another bumper collection is planne…

    Morning!Has anyone else noticed that the recent Snow Books anthology is absolutely riddled with typographical errors? I'm on my 4th story now (A Mystery in Motley), and it seems to be getting worse. There can be up to half a dozen on a single page.…

    Blake fans might like to know that there's a bunch of reasonably priced UJs and SBLs currently being offered by an Australian dealer on e-bay. I found them from US e-bay at $8.00 US.

    Thanks, Robert! Information on this film has been remarkably sparse, so an actual image is nice to see.

    I'll see about digging them out. Toone is only in one or two of the images - back then not all the marketing was geared around the 'star' of a picture!

    Could you post images of the lobby cards? I'd love to see Geoffrey Toone in the role!

    Doctor Shade Just started reading "The Gnomid". Quite a different style to "Brotherhood of the Yellow Beetle" & "Duel to the Death" - more hard-boiled.

    Does anybody out there want a copy of The Union Jack,No 1193, dated 28 August 1926. I found it whilst searching my loft yesterday. It needs careful handling but is readable.

    There's quite a few Hammer films thought to be 'lost', including Murder at Site 3. I've been trying to track this one down unsuccessfully for a few years now. Though with several previously 'lost' titles having turned up in the last decade hope isn'…

    BLAKIANA is quiet!

    You may have noticed the lack of updates and other activity on the BLAKIANA site these past few months. The reason is that I'm writing my debut novel for publication in April 2010. It's almost finished, so normal services will be resumed soon!
