Why have I gathered you all here today? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. Charters and Caldicott were two minor characters in Hitchcock’s 1938 film The Lady Vanishes. Played by the actors Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne, the pair were popular enough to get three films of their own, though not with Hitchcock. After creative differences with the film studio in 1946, the actors appeared as similar characters with different names in seven other films and five BBC radio productions. A 1985 BBC television series rebooted Charters and Caldicott with new actors.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charters_and_Caldicott2.  “Sir, a woman has been murdered in your house, therefore it follows there must be a murderer.” That line is from a teaser for an actual British police procedural show. They use it in a promo on almost every dvd for Acorn TV and the dullness of it kills me every time.Credits:Music in this episode came from these public domain films:The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and Too Late for Tears (1949, aka Killer Bait).
