Meet The Hardy Lads

Shane and Nicky Hardy (Peter O’Connor and Geoff Warner Clayton)

A character profile for these two young scamps just went online over on the Vultures website.

Introduced in Episode 5 ‘The Adventure Of The Hidden Microfilm’, the Hardy’s are two young scamps caught keying cars by Janine. Janine evidently saw something in them as she’s recruited them to help her out with her own detective business, The Janine Drew Agency. You can find out more about these thick yet enthusiastic teens here. And you can watch The Janine Drew Agency in action here.

The boys are obviously based on teen detectives The Hardy Boys, much in the same way that Janine is partly based on Nancy Drew. We thought a modern Irish, slightly stupid and chav friendly version of the characters might be a nice twist. Spot the difference:

And yeah, there’s a bit of Scooby Doo in there as well. It’s a good look though.

There’ll be a lot more from this lot in the upcoming Vultures ‘Attack Of The Pinkertons‘.

The Janine Drew Agency

We’ve started the promotional push for the upcoming sixth installment of Vultures ‘Attack Of The Pinkertons’.

And the first thing we’ve launched is a website and promo advert for everyone’s favourite teen chav detective, Janine Drew. Janine has decided to branch out and using all the smarts and business acumen she’s attained during her Transition Year run, she’s set up her own business. It’s an after school detectve project entitled The Janine Drew Agency. And she’s even got her own website www.JanineDrewAgency.com

She’s joined by Shane and Nicky Hardy, two wayward young dopes who she’s coralled into helping her. These lads have fliers and everything. It’s pretty obvious who these three teen detectives are based on but hey, half the fun is in the inspiration.

Of course with three rival detective agencies operating in the land of Vultures, there’s no doubt that all tensions will come to a head in Episode 6. The Janine Drew Agency are also relevant to another little subplot we’ve got going so do keep tuned to see where it all leads.

On the website you’ll find Janine’s promo videos and find her blog. Which should no doubt be a source of constant flashing fonts and sparkling icons.

‘Attack Of The Pinkertons’ is coming soon, real soon… Watch your backs.
