Bulldog Drummond

Bulldog Drummond is a British fictional character created by "Sapper", a pseudonym of H. C. McNeile (1888-1937), in imitation of the hard boiled noir-style detectives appearing in contemporary American fiction. The stories followed Captain Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond, D.S.O., M.C., a former WWI Army officer who had set up his own private detective business after the war. The stories, like the character, were often direct and brutal, and often rang of jingoism and racism. The character first appeared in the novel Bulldog Drummond (1920), and was adapted into a number of films and radio serials.

Kim Newman's short story "Pitbull Brittan", published in 1991, was a savage parody both of Bulldog Drummond and of the state of England under Margaret Thatcher, and featured the eponymous adventurer's battle against an international conspiracy responsible for the 1984 Miners' Strike.
