 Great diabolic plots of creeping mystery! Here come master detective Sexton Blake [[Simon Jones]] and his plucky sidekick Tinker [[Wayne Forester]] plus an assortment of posh birds, cross archbishops, and fiendish profs to solve any murder going, thwart all evil ploys. For anyone who remembers the real thing in book, magazine or comic form, this aural slapstick version (directed by dynamic [[Dirk Maggs]]) will lack proper gravitas. It is, however, huge fun in a Goon-show-ish sort of way. Quick, lads, to the locomotive. The chase is on!
 '''Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph, 31st July 2009'''
 There's devilry afoot in the first of these spiffing new Sexton Blake adventures, which sees the intrepid sleuth and his batman Tinker attempting to thwart the dastardly Professor Kew. Any outing with Baker Street's (other) great detective is naturally replete with danger, villainy and good old British grit, and this latest jaunt is no exception. Whether the task at hand involves rescuing a trainload of commuters or doing battle with an autogyro-piloting fiend, Sexton Blake is the only chap with an upper lip stiff enough to get the job done. Capital!
