Episode 016 - The Hammersmith Nude Murders (1964 - 1965)
<p>In London in the 1880s, the city was gripped by fear. A killer was prowling the cobbled, fog heavy streets of Whitechapel murdering prostitutes in a chilling reign of terror.</p> <p>Fast forward seventy years and a new killer was on the loose, this time, not in the impoverished Victorian East End, but towards the west.</p> <p><span style= "margin: 0px; color: black; font-family: '"',serif; font-size: 10.5pt;"> <img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/87293/rv_016_photo.jpg" alt= "" width="500" height="604" /></span></p> <p style= "background-color: transparent; color: #000000; cursor: text; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; outline-color: transparent; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> Again his victims of choice would be prostitutes. Believed to have claimed anything up to possibly seven lives, or even more, his identity, again like the infamous Jack, was never discovered….or was it?</p> <p style= "background-color: transparent; color: #000000; cursor: text; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; outline-color: transparent; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> The newspapers dubbed him The Nude Killer or Jack the Stripper and his crimes are now pretty much forgotten. At the time, his crimes led to one of the largest manhunts in British history with some famous suspects along the way.</p> <p style= "background-color: transparent; color: #000000; cursor: text; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

Episode 020 - David Frost, Emil Savundra, and the trial by television (1967)
<p>Episode 020 of the Rainbow Valley podcast – telling the stories that made the swinging decade.</p> <p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/87293/vlcsnap-2018-09-23-19h49m33s052.png" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p> <p>Emil Savundra, for a brief period in the late sixties, was probably the most reviled man in the UK. A Sri Lankan swindler, the collapse of his Fire, Auto and Marine Insurance Company left about 400,000 motorists in the United Kingdom without coverage.</p> <p>As a post-war black marketeer, Savundra committed bribery and fraud on an international scale before settling in the UK to sell low-cost insurance in the fast-growing automotive market. By defaulting on mandatory securities, he funded a lavish lifestyle and travelled in fashionable circles.</p> <p>This attracted the attention of the press, who uncovered evidence of major fraud. In a TV interview with David Frost, Savundra demonstrated contempt for his defrauded customers (some of whom were in the studio audience) and denied any moral responsibility.</p> <p>That particular tv show witnessed the birth of trial by television and is a fascinating piece of broadcasting history.</p> <p> </p> <p>Ladies and gentlemen, Rainbow Valley is proud to present the story of David Frost, Emil Savundra, and the trial by television.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>This and other episodes are available on our website rainbowvalley.libsyn.com</p> <p> </p> <p>You can follow the podcast on Twitter @rv_podcast</p> <p>Join our Facebook group</p> <p>Or send us your thoughts and feedback to <a href= "mailto:rainbowvalleypod@gmail.com">rainbowvalleypod@gmail.com</a></p> <p>#Podpals</p> <p>#podernfamily</p> <p> </p> <p>This has been a Stinking Pause production.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for listening</p> <p>Scott</p> <p><a href= "http://rainbowvalley.libsyn.com/podcast">http://rainbowvalley.libsyn.com/podcast</a></p>

Episode 023 - The Theft Of The Duke Of Wellington (1961)
<p><span style="color: #e74c3c;"><strong>The return of Rainbow Valley – the podcast that tells the stories about the swinging decade.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #34495e;"><strong>Episode 023 The Theft Of The Duke Of Wellington</strong></span></p> <p><img src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/87293/RB_BOND.png" alt="" width="500" height="420" /></p> <p>Dr No, the first big screen outing for Ian Fleming's James Bond. Its 1962, and the movie would start to lay out a successful formula for most of the other movies that would follow in the series.</p> <p>Of course when we speak about Dr No, most of us will remember Bonds introduction at the casino, Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder emerging from the sea in 'that' bikini or the scene where the spider crawls up Sean Connery's arm. But what about this scene….and in particular, one specific moment.</p> <p>James Bond and Honey Ryder have just met the evil Dr No in his underground lair. Before crushing an ornament with his metal hand and telling the pair of SPECTRE's dastardly plan to hold the world to ransom, they are led away. As they walk up a small set of steps, Bond stops, noticing an oil painting on an easel to his right ….</p> <p>The painting was a portrait of Arthur Wellesly the first Duke of Wellington, painted by Francisco de Goya - and only several months before the release of Dr No it had been hanging on display in London's National Gallery. When it was stolen however, one early August morning, it made national and international headlines. The story would develop with an unlikely villain, who like Dr No, would hold the British government to ransom. A story that would span many decades and involve a high profile court case, the introduction of a new criminal offence, and, of all things….the British tv license!</p> <p>Ladies and gentlemen, Rainbow Valley is proud to present the story of the theft of the Duke of Wellington.</p> <p>You can find us on Player FM</p> <p> </p> <p>…and anywhere you download your podcasts</p> <p> </p> <p>You can follow the podcast on Twitter @rv_podcast</p> <p> </p> <p>Join our Facebook group</p> <p> </p> <p>Or send us your thoughts and feedback to <a href= "mailto:rainbowvalleypod@gmail.com">rainbowvalleypod@gmail.com</a></p> <p> </p> <p>#Podpals</p> <p>#podernfamily</p> <p> </p> <p>This has been a Stinking Pause production.</p> <p>Thanks for listening</p> <p>Scott</p>
