Dial P for Podcast #1: The Pleasure Garden, The Lodger, The Ring, Downhill
Friday, 30 January, 2026
Good evening. Welcome to Dial P for Podcast, Patrick Ripoll's year-long chronological voyage through the films of Alfred Hitchcock. Every month Patrick will be watching four Hitchcock features and talking about them here, from The Pleasure Garden to Family Plot, all across the year of 2026, examining the life and work of England's most famous cinema pervert. First up, a slate of silent films. In The Pleasure Garden (1925) a showgirl must fight for her love, in The Lodger (1927) a mysterious new boardinghouse tenant may or may not be a serial killer, in The Ring (1927) an up and coming boxing challenger must fight for his love and in Downhill (1927) a rich schoolboy takes the fall for a friend's crime with disastrous results. The birth of one of the most spectacular careers in film history, the master director's not-so-humble beginning. Check it out, here as a new Director's Club exclusive spin-off series!0:00 - 0:44 - Intro Theme0:45 - 18:47 - The Pleasure Garden (1925)18:48 - 58:21 - The Lodger (1927)58:22 - 1:19:48 - The Ring (1927)1:19:49 - 1:45:21 - Downhill (1927) 1:45:22 - 1:46:09 - Outro Theme
