Sandwiched between two distinctly British films, the winner of the last listener's vote was John Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness, a meta-fictional romp that sees insurance scam snoop Sam Neill come face to face with Lovecraftian nightmares from the mind of Jurgen Prochnow.
Forming the British bread for this week's show is 1934's Death At Broadcasting House, an adaptation of Val Gielgud's (brother of John) novel which also stars the author. A murder takes place live on air and the titular broadcasting house becomes a den of suspicion as everyone under it's roof becomes a suspect.
Then we round things off with the Peter O'Toole starring in the criminally under-seen satire The Ruling Class, which sees paranoid schizophrenic O'Toole assume the mantle of Lord Gurney much to the chagrin of his scheming relatives. Mayhem and hilarity ensues.
