Constable Jonah Smith must avoid a pair of vicious killers in his hunt for the mysterious figure who will come to be known as… Springheel’d Jack!

Loving it so far! High production value!
Had listened to it once before, a while ago. Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff . I like the ‘straight into everything’ tempo . Look forward to hearing how this develops ~ episode 1 I found relaxing and fun .
Are Chough and D’Urberville an earlier incarnation of Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar?
