Available for the very first time in English, this ‘lost media’ episode of Agaton Sax sees the Swedish detective leave his native land once again, this time travelling in style to experience the glitz and glamour of London. Our super sleuth must decipher the mystery of a sticky-fingered thief whose calamitous crimes see him targeting a group of billionaires and their mountains of money. Flown via private jet to a castle in England to catch our corrupt culprit, Sax enlists the aid of his trusted friend and Scotland Yard professional, Inspector Lispington.

Upon receiving a mysterious telegram during breakfast, the detective-cum-newspaper-editor soon finds himself searching to uncover the enigma around it. But it’s not just one criminal mastermind behind this confounding communique—it’s a whole cabal of them! And when the super sleuth discovers that they have captured his friend and confidant Inspector Lispington, Sweden’s finest crimefighter must rescue his friend as well as put a stop to the dastardly devils and their pernicious master plan—one that has the potential to spell the end for Sweden’s most famous detective!

Agaton Sax, private detective and editor of the world’s smallest newspaper (but also the best), loves a good trick. Mind you, a brain like his is hard to fool. So when the marvellous Max Brothers—conjurors extraordinaire—come to Byköping just days after a daring raid on the Bank of England, the stage is set for a magical mystery that will take Agaton and Inspector Lispington across Europe by train, car, plane, helicopter and...barrel.

The Boss is back...and he’s brought his Big Brother with him. With his hidden microphones and numbered gang members, a devious criminal mastermind known only as 'the Boss' has broken out of prison and has been working behind the scenes to topple the financial institutions of the world. His plan appears to have something to do with computers. And, possibly, potatoes. In any case, it’s up to super sleuth Agaton Sax—along with Aunt Matilda and the long-suffering Inspector Lispington—to stop them in their tracks.... If they can.

Will Agaton Sax be able to tell the criminals from their doubles? And will he get to the bottom of this curious mystery? He hasn't failed to crack a case yet, but there's always a first time....

Max is just an ordinary, slightly scruffy boy, until he burps, and that’s when he turns into a huge monster, with teeth like swords, who can jump over buildings, roar loudly and eat whole dustbins. It's great being a monster whose aim is to 'protect and do good stuff' until Max sneezes...and when he does, he turns back into a boy again, often far from home and dressed only in his pants. But his arch enemy, Peregrine, a boy his age has invented a POOP (Portable Operating Omni Prison) machine to catch Monster Max and put him in a zoo.

Dan's best friend is an alien, called Zoggy and he has invited him for Christmas. After trudging through the deep snow, Zoggy finds Dan's front door wide open. He goes in, but the house looks different - and there are lots of sparkly decorations everywhere. Zoggy looks for Dan but finds him already tucked up in bed fast asleep...and there is another visitor here! Should Zoggy wake Dan and tell him? Zoggy is in for a few surprises…

Frankly, Agaton Sax should know better than to go on vacation. At least, this time, he’s managed to enjoy some rest and relaxation without stumbling into a criminal conspiracy. On the way home, however, it’s a different story...from a slow train through Brosnia to a castle in Edinburgh and onwards to a motorboat speeding across the North Sea, Agaton Sax is up against a criminal mastermind who is almost - but not quite - as clever as he is. And there’s garlic. Far too much garlic.
