I say! There's been a murder! The Famous Five grew up and grew apart. When Dick, now a hardened PI, gets in over his head, he turns to his sister Anne for help. Do they have what it takes to solve the crime?
A British film noir, full of gangsters, intrigue and lashings of tinned pineapple.
Nominated for the Funny Women Awards.
With additional voices by Alistair McGowan. Supported by Fenton Arts Trust and Barnsley Civic. Rachel E Thorn writes for BBC Radio (Dead Ringers, The Now Show). She's been nominated for the Kenneth Branagh Award.
