S1E7 - Crime Traveller Episode 7: The Lottery Experiment

You're luck's in! We reach the zenith of the series a little late, considering this is the penultimate episode. Slade has numbers (as well as sparkling wine) on the brain, but pays the price for being in two places at once when a £3 million stash of gold is stolen on Grisham's watch... oops! Will Holly ever pick up the phone? Will Nicky die as a result of Slade's meddling? What kind of mobile phone is that? Answers and more, in the thrilling installment of Ant and Nic Press Pla...

The Vanishing Man: Pilot - Pt 1

Back in 1997, between Crime Traveller episodes five and six, another Anthony Horowitz drama appeared on ITV. Starring Neil Morrissey, Lucy Akhurst, Mark Womack and Barbara Flynn, it told the story of a falsely imprisoned pilot who is subjected to secret medical experimentation... but Neil Morrissey's character wasn't the only one to disappear... Nearly a quarter of a century later, very little seems to exist. Is it a conspiracy? Will anyone be able to watch along? In what is surely a podcast wor...
