THE CLOCK For further information, contact the author at: dickjudge@juno.com The Clock was a great mystery-suspense show of the late 1940s. It was an Australian series produced by George Gibson which was imported and aired intact over the ABC network for some 15 months. The settings were generic and the actors and actresses spoke without a perceptible accent and for that reason the program sounded "American". At the end of this run the series continued for another 13 weeks but now with an All-American cast with new scripts and the entire crew including the cast, directors, musicians, etc., Americans. The series aired beyond this 13 week time period but some time after May 1948 since there are at least three circulating Clock programs from late 1948. First show (Australian) on ABC: Nov 3, 1946 Last show (Australian) on ABC: Feb 26, 1948 First show (USA production): Mar 4, 1948 Last show (USA production): May 23, 1948 but.... Number of episodes for Australian version on ABC: 78 Number of USA episodes on ABC: 13 plus This is a different interpretation of The Clock than those seen in other logs.
