Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Monster Hunters is a British horror spoof in the form of a podcast serial. Set in London in the 1970s, it follows the adventures of Boisterous Bruiser Roy Steel and Badass Bookworm Lorrimer Chesterfield as they battle a string of supernatural threats. They are managed by eccentric millionaire Sir Maxwell House and his taciturn secretary Suki.Since 2012, there have been three full seasons of six episodes each, plus lots of specials. In 2018 it was announced that the show would thenceforth be produced by Definitely Human (of MarsCorp et al). |

Say My Name |
| The Monster Hunters (Podcast) / int_1a3a91dd |
comment |
Say My Name: Extra useful in a podcast, since the audience can't see who's just entered the room, been killed etc. In The Beast of Albion: Part One (S2E5), after Roy discovers Griselda's true identity, he goes back and forth between both names. It doesn't help that Griselda/Lord Greg says his name in almost every sentence. |

Take My Hand! |
| The Monster Hunters (Podcast) / int_1fe36347 |
comment |
Take My Hand: The climax of The Beast of Albion: Part One is Roy trying to Save the Villain this way. She slips and plunges to her 'death.' A less dramatic example in Green Prison of Death when Lorrimer, being dragged through a trapdoor into the basement, orders Roy to take his hand and pull him free. Even in this moment of mortal peril, it seems they are both awake to the potential Ho Yay of the situation. |

Past Experience Nightmare: Implied in Bride of the Deep when Roy wakes up yelling "Griselda!" He may have been reliving his traumatic last moments with her, or dreaming something even worse, or perhaps he simply thought of her the first moment he regained consciousness. Either way, it's a pretty miserable moment. |

Distaff Counterpart: Lauren Asher and Dr Martine Ladyface, though they don't map onto the Monster Hunters quite as accurately as the Creature Finders do (see Similar Squad). Ladyface is a brilliant scientist, yet she's the one who fills Roy's role of punching things and making jokes; Lauren Asher is the more reserved Lorrimer type who guides their investigations using her powerful psychic abilities. |

Extra-Strength Masquerade: A bit of a grey area. The mere fact that anyone takes Lorrimer seriously as an academic suggests that in this world, the supernatural is widely acknowledged to be real, and indeed it ought to be impossible to ignore. Yet many characters are remarkably sceptical about the constant weirdness taking place in broad daylight, and there seems to be a Weirdness Censor in effect around the second series finale. |

Old-Fashioned Copper: DI Grabber, introduced in Hour of the Witch, is so wrapped up in embodying this trope that he struggles to hold a normal conversation. Although it is 1971, so perhaps he doesn't see himself as particularly old-fashioned. |

Big Fancy House |
| The Monster Hunters (Podcast) / int_4814d132 |
comment |
Big Fancy House Sir Maxwell House's expansive townhouse is one of the most significant locations in the show. It boasts a wine cellar, a helipad and a roof garden. Tony Hands' family home, Hands House, is a big fancy house full of gold in the countryside. The house in The Haunting of Roy Steel, originally built and owned by Captain Old Jack Legs, is an "impressive pile" incorporating an old desanctified church. Virginia got it cheap, though, for obvious reasons. |

| The Monster Hunters (Podcast) / int_8cb844c6 |
comment |
Mr. Exposition: This is technically Sir Maxwell's role, since he often briefs the Monster Hunters at the start of the episode, but his colourful imagination and tendency to get distracted mean that plot-relevant detail makes up only a small portion of his dialogue. Lorrimer handles most of the exposition during the cases, with Roy serving as The Watson. |

Cliff Hanger |

comment |
Cliffhanger The Powers of Lord Greg and Taste the Scars of Orloff each end in a tag that is largely unrelated to the plot, setting up the next episode with a shocking twist; as a result, the end of series one runs continuously through both the 2012 Halloween and Christmas specials. The Beast Of Albion: Part One ends in a cliffhanger before all the action is finally resolved in Part Two. Bride of the Deep also ends on a cliffhanger, although some time has passed when the story picks up again in The Whispering Fog. |

Save the Villain: Twice so far, both by Roy: he cries out to warn Lord Greg at the last second before Minty rips him apart; he also tries very hard to save Griselda from falling off a cliff, right after discovering that she's actually Lord Greg in a new body. On both occasions Greg has just tried to kill him and on both occasions Roy has to watch Greg die. In The Funeral of Roy Steel, they live out this scenario again (though Griselda's fate is left even more ambiguous this time). By now Griselda believes that this is how it's meant to be, and begs Roy to repeat the cycle with her forever. |

comment |
Never Found the Body: The page image for this trope describes the end of series two to a tee. Griselda/Greg has already come Back from the Dead once, and that time he was ripped apart before our heroes' very eyes - this time s/he just fell off a cliff, leaving no trace. An unusual and very unsettling example is the monster from The Box of Desires. Its body didn't simply go missing; it disappeared from under the boys' noses, along with any trace of its presence in the snow or the memories of bystanders. |
