The Double Eagle Has Landed (2011): A short story in which the Diamond Brothers are hired to protect a valuable gold coin. It was published in Guys Read: Thriller, edited by Jon Scieszka. [6] The title is a spoof of the film The Eagle Has Landed. The Fat Man attended the Falcon's funeral, and he sent his chauffeur to raid the Diamond brothers' flat. But the chauffeur was killed by Gott and Himmell. Then, the brothers were arrested, after the Fat Man held them up and threatened them with death. A secluded island hotel just off the English coast becomes a crime scene, as a scandal-inducing femme-fatale is felled. All the guests on the island are suspects, but are they alone and is all quite what it seems? The promotional blurbs of the early 2004 editions of the Alex Rider novel Scorpia, and of an early edition of Three of Diamonds claimed that Horowitz was planning an Australian-based adventure for the Diamond Brothers, entitled The Radius of the Lost Shark (a play-on-words on the film title Raiders of the Lost Ark). This title was also mentioned in a promotional blurb at the end of early 2005 edition of the Alex Rider novel Ark Angel, and again in the introduction to the re-issued 2007 edition of Three of Diamonds. in association with Newbury Corn Exchange, Theatre Royal Bath's egg, & The Natural Theatre Company)

He told his manservant, a dwarf named Johnny Naples, about where the diamonds were and how to open the safe. Naples flew to England and got into London, where he found the safe. He just didn't know how to open it, not being English, so he did some research and wrote down what he found.

The entire series was re-issued in 2007 with new cover art designed by illustrator Martin Chatterton, [2] and again in 2015 illustrated by Tony Ross. Anthony Horowitz himself says “(The script) stays very true to the fun and the adventure of the story, presenting the myriad characters with just four young actors and a huge amount of inventiveness. In fact, it’s an object lesson in the power of the theatre.” In The Diamond Brothers in… I Know What You Did Last Wednesday (2002), seven friends, along with the Diamond Brothers, are invited to a remote island for a school reunion. But then the host is found dead, and other people start dying in bizarre ways with no way off the island. The plot itself is a spoof of the Agatha Christie novel And Then There Were None, whilst the title is a spoof of the film I Know What You Did Last Summer.

New Old Friends have been creating work since 2008. If you would like more information on any of the shows below please don't hesitate to get in touch. The Fat Man sent Tim Diamond a threatening note telling him to meet at three p.m. at Trafalgar Square. He arrived dramatically, and became apparent that he was an anorexic man - his name was a joke, but he did use to be really fat. However, his doctor told him to shed weight, which he took to the extreme, eating only yogurt and losing 70 pounds. So, he made a deal. He wanted the dwarf's parcel, which turned out to be Maltesers - and this made no sense, why would the Fat Man want Maltesers if he was on a diet? He even poisoned the pigeons as he drove away, with poison corn. We are over the moon to have had one of our theatrical inspirations, Emma Rice, come and see our latest show and say this about it: "Crimes on Centre Court is a delight from start to finish!

It is simply, and impressively, a great night out!" - Emma Rice Following a sell-out world premiere run at the Ustinov Studio in the New Year, a critically acclaimed national tour (under previous title Crimes on the Nile), and a "triumphant return" to Theatre Royal Bath's Main Stage in 2019, we are delighted to finally announce the much delayed second tour of our 'hilariously inventive' comedy thriller.The show we were due to be performing when the pandemic closed the theatres finally hit the road! Another instalment in our hugely popular ‘Crimes…’ series of comedy thrillers.
