Sherlock Holmes 04 The Veiled Lodger

.

THESE TWO STORIES come from The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, the last of the nine books about the great detective to be written by his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

"The Mazarin Stone", being based on a stage play, "The Crown Diamond", works well as a radio drama. Our script incorporates some devices from "The Crown Diamond". In "The Veiled Lodger" Holmes and Watson are listeners with us to the story of a past crime - but what a story it is! Devotees will recognize elements from Conan Doyle's apocryphal tale "The Field Bazaar".

JIM CROZIER and DAVE HAWKES play Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson, with LINDSAY LLOYD, BETH WALTERS, CYRIL BAGSHAW, VINCE WEBB, DEAN HEMPSTEAD, ANGIE BUDD and JESSE POWIS. The violinist, Michael Patton, was recorded by Digital Media Services. The plays were written by M J Elliott, directed by Roger Johnson and produced by Dennis Rookard for Hosiprog Productions.

Whatever Became Of 67-01-xx Gang Busters

.

Gang Busters was an American dramatic radio program heralded as "the only national program that brings you authentic police case histories." It premiered as G-Men, sponsored by Chevrolet, on July 20, 1935.

After the title was changed to Gang Busters January 15, 1936, the show had a 21-year run through November 20, 1957. Beginning with a barrage of loud sound effects — a shrill police whistle, convicts marching in formation, police siren wailing, machine guns firing, and tires squealing — this intrusive introduction led to the popular catchphrase "came on like Gang Busters" — followed by a voice over a megaphone or loudspeaker announcing the title of that night's program: "Tonight, Gangbusters presents the Case of the —" and ending with more blasts from a police whistle.
