Whilst we are in between regular episodes, we thought it would be fun to share this abandoned episode from March 2017, where we review every Hammer film listed in the book The Hammer Story. Chris had bought a new microphone and we were trying to work out how to record two microphones on one laptop. We thought we'd found a solution and used a bit of software we thought was free. Unbeknownst to us it was only free for about 15 minutes, after that it started to insert the word TRIAL into the recording. We abandoned it but its quite fun so I thought we'd share it.

Welcome to the first episode of 2022. We find that there is room for 1 inside as we go exploring the weird stories of Ealing Studio's horror film Dead of Night. We're no dummies! The documentary film on Dead of Night can be found on Studio Canal UK's youtube page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wZyhZ3eF_A If you want to discuss this film with us, or any of the issues addressed in the episode you can contact us at: Facebook: averybritishhorror Twitter: @verybrithorror Email: averybritishhorror@gmail.com

"MIND THE DOORS!" Death Line (1972), the most requested film for us to cover, finally comes to A Very British Horror. We venture underground to London's tube network to seek out some cannibals.

SEASONS GREETINGS ONE AND ALL.
