The Diamond Brothers in The Falcon's Malteser

Product Information

The company is run by Feargus Woods Dunlop & Heather Westwell. Feargus founded New Old Friends in 2008 after graduating from Bretton Hall, and Heather joined after meeting Feargus following the company's debut show, Mate. Together they have built New Old Friends into a national touring presence producing reliable, engaging, accessible shows that make people laugh. Crimes on Centre Court is based on a story our award-winning podcast (#2 in iTunes fiction chart) and toured to great acclaim in 2022. Inspired by Agatha Christie, Noel Coward and PG Wodehouse, you are invited on an hilarious but murderous trip to a classic English Riviera retreat. In 1991, The Diamond Brothers, a six-part television series written and directed by Horowitz himself, was broadcast on ITV. [14] The series is based on the book South by South East, which Horowitz claimed he wrote after he had written the television series, effectively making South by South East a novelisation of the television series rather than the novel acting as the primary source of inspiration. Both McLinden and Dale reprised their respective film roles, which makes the television series act as a sequel to Just Ask for Diamond. However, unlike the film adaptation, the series has never been released on any home media, and it was also never rebroadcast.

But at the end of 2020 we were determined to present something to our audiences. The result was an audio version of Crimes Against Christmas released daily from 1st - 24th December as a comedy advent calendar.

The series currently comprises four full-length novels, four novellas and one short story. A fifth full-length novel entitled The Radius of the Lost Shark is being planned. [1] These books are aimed at a younger readership than Horowitz's young adult novels, such as the Alex Rider series and The Power of Five series. While also having a teenage protagonist and featuring guns, fights, international criminals, and numerous character deaths, The Diamond Brothers series has a more humorous slant through the use of puns, pop culture references and absurd situations. The Fat Man sent Tim Diamond a threatening note telling him to meet at three p.m. at Trafalgar Square. He arrived dramatically, and became apparent that he was an anorexic man - his name was a joke, but he did use to be really fat. However, his doctor told him to shed weight, which he took to the extreme, eating only yogurt and losing 70 pounds. So, he made a deal. He wanted the dwarf's parcel, which turned out to be Maltesers - and this made no sense, why would the Fat Man want Maltesers if he was on a diet? He even poisoned the pigeons as he drove away, with poison corn. New Old Friends have been creating work since 2008.

The title is a play-on-words on the film The French Connection. I Know What You Did Last Wednesday (2002) [ edit ] Anthony Horowitz himself says “(The script) stays very true to the fun and the adventure of the story, presenting the myriad characters with just four young actors and a huge amount of inventiveness. In fact, it’s an object lesson in the power of the theatre.” When a solitary box of Maltesers is delivered to their office by a miniature Mexican, the Diamond Brothers think nothing of it. But all of a sudden, they find themselves the target of half of London’s criminal underworld – what’s so special about these maltesers that criminals are willing to kill for them, anyway? Then the Falcon died. He told his manservant, a dwarf named Johnny Naples, about where the diamonds were and how to open the safe. Naples flew to England and got into London, where he found the safe. He just didn't know how to open it, not being English, so he did some research and wrote down what he found. Johnny Naples was being spied on by the Fat Man, as well as the two killers William Gott and Eric Himmell, the two German assassins. But before they could get him, Naples was killed by an intruder.
