The Secrets Of Scotland Yard
Crime Drama. The history of this series is a bit complicated. The BBC did not allow their productions to be aired on commercial radio stations. However, the BBC occasionally got around this general rule by producing series in conjunction with Radio Luxembourg. Thus, this series was "produced" by Radio Luxembourg, yet it was actually produced at the Gibson Production Studios in Sydney, Australia, for worldwide syndication. It aired in South Africa during the 1950's.

This postwar half-hour crime drama series ran from 1949 to 1951. Each week, anxious radio-listeners tune in to hear a different story: A man finds an armless and legless body wrapped in ribbons and lace, two close brothers who love one another do not like one of the brother's affluent, unsightly and ignorant wife, a malevolent fellow murders the wealthy matron that he lives with and then makes her body disappear. Each time, Scotland Yard detectives are afoot to solve the crime mystery! All text on OTRCAT.com are  2006 OTRCAT INC - All Rights Reserved. Reproduction is prohibited.
