The Nanny is something of a landmark film for Hammer. It would be their final monochrome release and their last of 1965.
As such, this feature packed episodes not only examines the film itself but, sinister nannies, where the studio itself would go next and a big fat fanny of a quiz...

As a tribute to a friend of The House Of Hammer, here's a chance to listen to a conversation between the respected Egyptologist & Cultural Historian, John J. Johnston and Cev. It was much longer and far reaching than could be used in the intended episode about the Mummy itself and covered some of the pet obsessions the both of them often chatted about.
Jan 23rd 1965 - Aug 29th 2025
Vale! John.
