The Return Of Sexton Blake
6th September 2009
NorthStar's Paul Weir has just finished the musical score for the entire BBC 2 series of Sexton Blake.
A challenge indeed as every musical cue had to reflect the tongue in cheek characters embroiled in a high-speed story line peppered with ever changing incident and musical intrigue.
For the greater part of the 20th Century, Sexton Blake was a household name and a publishing phenomenon, starring in nearly five thousand fantastic stories written by over two hundred authors.
NOW HE'S BACK 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!
