The 39 Steps is a TV movie done for the 2008 Christmas season by The BBC, starring Rupert Penry-Jones. It's an adaptation of John Buchan's novel The Thirty-Nine Steps.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Unlike the more famous earlier adaptation by Alfred Hitchcock, it keeps the novel's 1914 setting, but some liberties are taken to suit the 21st century idea of a proper spy thriller.

Anachronism Stew: The scene where Hannay is chased by a biplane features a 1916 model fighter plane, and the car chases feature vehicles from the 1920s; the film-makers' excuse was that cars actually available in 1914 didn't have the oomph for an exciting chase. Then there's the building Hannay lives in (post-War Art Deco architecture) and the train he catches (a 1920s locomotive pulling 1950s carriages).

Homage: The scene with the plane is a homage to that other Alfred Hitchcock classic North By Northwest, which in turn owed much to Hitchcock's earlier adaptation of ... The Thirty-Nine Steps.
