''The 39 Steps'' is a TV movie done for the 2008 Christmas season by Creator/TheBBC, starring Rupert Penry-Jones. It's an adaptation of the novel ''Literature/TheThirtyNineSteps''.
Unlike the more famous [[Film/The39Steps1935 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.

!!This TV Movie contains examples of:
* AnachronismStew: 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).
* CoolGuns: Scudder is armed with a Nagant [=M1895=].
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Victoria is apparently killed in the climactic fight, but the final scene reveals that she survived.]]
* {{Homage}}: The scene with the plane is a homage to that other Creator/AlfredHitchcock classic ''Film/NorthByNorthwest''.
* NotHisSled: Unlike in the novel, the mysterious phrase "the 39 steps" [[spoiler:refers to a flight of stairs leading down to a Scottish loch]].
* ShirtlessScene: It's got Rupert Penry-Jones in it, what do you expect?
* TokenRomance: Adds a romance with a young woman Hannay meets while he's on the run.
