5.0 out of 5 stars The Scarifyers: Devil of Denge Marsh, 18 Aug 2008
By Oddjob (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This is the second exciting instalment of the Scarifyers - Professor Dunning and Inspector Lionheart, assisted in cameo once again by the wonderful Aleister Crowley, whom we discover that when not trolling the Astral Plane, makes his own honey!

Having now dispensed with the main character introductions and setting the scene in "The Nazad Conspiracy" we are launched straight away into the mystery of another inexplicable happening to investigate - an ex RAF flyer, now an aspiring new Government Minister, who walks into the sea and ....MELTS!

This story was penned by Paul Morris and the production ably directed by Simon Barnard. Nicholas Courtney and Terry Molloy once again sport the vocal mantle of our heroes.

This audiostory was a comical delight of an absurd concoction employing aspects of Lovecraftian Mythos, (notably "The Call of Cthulhu" , "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and "The Dunwich Horror." - or should that be "The Dulwich Terror"!?!), strongly influenced by ... the Wickerman, with underlying Sci-fi Quatermas, east coast tones of the pre-WWII Audio Listening Concrete Sound Dishes, an abandoned old military site on lonely old marshes at Denge, with appropriate Ministry cover-ups and an isolated insular community with less than Christian inclinations! Fans of all these elements should glean intense hilarity from this odd amalgamation of stories. We are also introduced to a new comical element of Dunning's writers group - reminiscent of a parody of "The Inklings" with Tolkienesque and C S Lewis ribbing.

I promise you, after hearing this story you will NEVER view Brit Eckland's showpiece in the The Wickerman quite the same way again! Ilona MacDonald's portrayal of Mrs Willow has to be one of the productions highlights!

Once again, The Scarifyers is rich with material we all are drawn to by the genre. The humour is spot on with laughs being provided by the cleverly written characterizations and absurd circumstances they find themselves in.

My only slight disappointment was the characterization of Peter Vanguard aka Sebastian Malherbe, Crowley's nemesis. One would imagine such a character to have had a more mature, seasoned, darkly rich voice, portraying the likely background of such a man - the actual voice of Jack Fox just sounds far too young and normal! Maybe this is intentional to allay early suspicions but I craved the voice akin to Christopher Lee or Charles Gary for such a smoothly evil villain.


Highly recommended and am now anticipating the Third Story - "For King and Country"

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent , 17 Jun 2008
Wonderfully enjoyable radio drama as it used to be. I would also greatly recommend Richard Morris' biography of Harry Price (Harry Price: The Psychic Detective) which the drama is based on. Fascinating stuff.
