Gus McDonagh as the returning Noah Hennessy along with Seán Hackett as Tennyson.
The new episode of Vultures has just hit the web. The Lost Lunch Of Niall Tennyson is the second of four episodes in the second series of the detective webcom I’ve been making with Mycrofilms.
The episode is centred on the character of tetchy yet fragrant surveillance expert Niall Tennyson as he gets a place on a FÁS course for unemployed detectives. Much to his chagrin he is plunged into an irritatingly mundane mystery when someone on the course steals his trademark prawn sandwich at lunch time. And to think the second episode of the first series was about a dead hooker.
It’s learning time!
This episode is the first one directed by my dear mucker Peter McGann (who plays Matt McLoughlin in the series) and was written by myself and produced, as always, by Alan Slattery.
I based this episode on an incident during the aftershow party for Devious Theatre’s Cannibal! The Musical in 2007 where Ross Costigan (who plays Jack Street) had earlier bought an amazing gourmet cheese roll from Blueberry, put it in Ken’s fridge and then was horrified to discover that when he needed it most (7am after an hour of power) it had been stolen. Much drunken detective work took place until the culprit was rooted out. Let’s just say that the culprit was another Vultures cast member who isn’t too far removed from the mystery in this episode.
Have a watch, have a share and hopefully we’ll get the third episode out a whole lot quicker than we got this one out. If you haven’t already, subscribe to us Vultures on YouTube and also on iTunes.
