This is on BBC Sounds. It's a parody of the Sam Spade/Philip Marlowe genre. And it's very funny!

It stars Francis Matthews who does a brilliant vocal impersonation of Cary Grant.

Listened to all three this afternoon. I have to agree with you, they’re very witty. They remind me of the old black and white Thin Man films from the 1930’s that you used to see on the telly when I was a kid. They were about Nick and Nora Charles and their dog Astor, so a spoof/homage. Dora sounds a bit like Katherine Hepburn with a dollop of Maggie Smith mixed in.
