Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Ealing's 'we're all in it together' ethos peaked during postwar austerity, making cozy crime comedies weirdly radical.

Trivia

This Omnibus episode aired when Ealing itself was already dead—Balcon had sold the studio in 1955, making this a ghost story in disguise.
