History Podcast / TheMonsterHunters

* TheDollEpisode: ''The Doll's House,'' unsurprisingly. The CreepyDoll trope manifests both in the waxworks themselves and in Gwendoline's little wax dollies.

-->'''--Sir Maxwell House''' endorsing our heroes

-->''"Take two elements. Any two elements. Say electricity and water. On their own, perfectly harmless. But when you mix them together, maybe in a bowl... dynamite!"''
--->'''--Sir Maxwell House''' endorsing our heroes

* BadDreams: 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.

* HesBack: Lorrimer punching Roy in ''Bride of the Deep;'' see GetAHoldOfYourselfMan.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Both the Queen and the Regent of Atlantia.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Lord Greg Powers, the BigBad of series one who dies very explicitly in the finale, returns - in a new body, with a new name and a new voice actor - for series two.]]

* BorrowedCatchphrase: Count Orloff's impression of Sir Maxwell. The words are [[MangledCatchphrase all there in the right order]] - it's just the voice he can't get right.

'''Sir Maxwell:''' A - a tiepin, yes...

* GargleBlaster: Sir Maxwell's "[[{{Portmanteau}} Brandscotchdka]]" and Roy's "Steel Sunrise" - you mix one part whiskey with two parts whiskey, then draw a picture of a sun on the glass.

-->'''Lorrimer:''' It's the middle of the night; we're in a Swiss castle at the height of winter; got a roaring fire - what better conditions to tell a ghost story?

* IdiotBall: Roy and Sir Maxwell are fairly consistent in their idiotic behaviour, but when Lorrimer catches the IdiotBall - in the first episode, and again in the flashback to Margot's death - it's very noticeable.

-->'''Roy:''' We're bound to find the Beast in about twenty minutes - that's how this normally works - leaving me enough time to unleash a gag, you to groan a bit...

-->'''Lorrimer:''' There are many ways a lycanthrope can change: sorcery; convening with the devil; wearing a belt...
'''Roy:''' Wearing a belt?
'''Lorrimer:''' Yes, you slip on a belt made of the skin of the animal you wish to change into --

* TalkingInYourSleep: "Hand me that hammer, Mabel, I'll knock its beak off."

* DistaffCounterpart: Lauren Asher and Dr Martine Ladyface, though they don't map onto the Monster Hunters quite as accurately as the Creature Finders do. 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.

* ActionGirl: Lots and lots, in fact nearly every female character to some extent. Suki, Margot and Griselda have each proved their fighting prowess on multiple occasions.

* VillainessesWantHeroes: [[spoiler:After Griselda reveals her true intentions in ''The Beast of Albion: Part One,'' she tries to persuade Roy to stay and [[WeCanRuleTogether rule the world]] with her anyway, admitting that she has grown to genuinely like him.]]

-->'''Lorrimer:''' You gave her one in Oxford?\\

* SaveTheVillain: Only twice so far, both by Roy: [[spoiler: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.]]

* EnemyMine: The heroes team up with [[spoiler:their long-time nemesis Count Orloff]] to defeat a greater evil in the S3 finale.
