Read by Tony Robinson. `When you start believing in Spirits you start believing in demons and then before you know where you are you’re believing in Gods. And then you’re in trouble. Reality is all very well in small doses. It’s a perfectly conventional and convenient way of neutralising the imagination. But sometimes when there’s more than one reality at play imagination just won’t be neutralised and the walls between realities come tumbling down. Unfortunately there’s usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place. To keep things out. ; ; Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order…

Noir ![]()
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall made screen history together more than once, but they were never more popular than in this 1946 adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s novel, directed by Howard Hawks (To Have and Have Not). Bogart plays private eye Philip Marlowe, who is hired by a wealthy socialite (Bacall) to look into troubles stirred up by her wild, young sister (Martha Vickers). Legendarily complicated (so much so that even Chandler had trouble following the plot), the film is nonetheless hugely entertaining and atmospheric, an electrifying plunge into the exotica of detective fiction. William Faulkner wrote the screenplay. –Tom Keogh
