Hannay: The Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

When an East-End gang demand protection money for Sal Alford's music-hall, she turns to Richard Hannay for help. Multipart British whodunit about the gentlemanly hero of John Buchan's novel 'The 39 Steps,' a man who finds himself entangled in intrigue on a regular basis. When the young threw off the conventions of the previous generation, freedom was in the air, and the winds of change were blowing. Then the plot gets really convoluted with a murder and a kidnapping and Hannay under suspicion and all manner of conspiracies.

We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring theres something for every literary palate.I have heard rumours of a new version of '39 Steps' and would be interested to see who is cast as Hannay. Hannay was a ITV's 1988 spin-off from the 1978 film version of John Buchan's novel The Thirty-Nine Steps which had starred Robert Powell as Richard Hannay. Many of the episodes in this series gave the impression of having been awkwardly and hastily edited. The pleasures of travelling on the Trans European Express from Venice are relished by celebrities, diplomats and holiday-makers alike, but for Richard Hannay the journey proves to be a nightmare.

The pre-world war one `British Empire' espionage themes don't seem dated, probably as the British social elite are portrayed in as much a pompous negative light as the dastardly villains and the persistent foreign master-spy (Count Von Schwabing) trying to destabilise Britain's superpower status.

When Hannay saves the life of a desperate young lady, he little realises how quickly this act of bravery will bring him face-to-face with his arch-enemy, von Schwabing. Standfast, as well as a number of other such heroic characters, including Beau Geste, Bulldog Drummond and James Bond. The Bright Young Things partied the nights away, dancing the latest craze, the Charleston, while the Prince of Wales shimmied his way across Europe. With accompaniment from Christine Crowshaw on piano and Clive Conway on flute, it examines the era that saw the rise of the Flapper girl, jazz and the cocktail party. Hannay è una serie televisiva britannica in 13 episodi trasmessi per la prima volta nel corso di 2 stagioni dal 1988 al 1989.
