Series Description:

THE RADIO DETECTIVES is a radio series that looks back in time at the
many detectives whose cases have graces the airwaves in the United
Kingdom and the United States.  They are the product of Professor
Jeffrey Richards and were presented as three series of five programs
each series.  Each show covered the history of one detective, not
only discussing the radio shows, but the detective's origins, printed
works and films, where applicable.  Excerpts from radio shows or film
soundtracks were frequently included.

The shows were heard originally on BBC Radio Four and later in the US
on National Public Radio stations.

US listeners should not dismiss these shows as targeted for UK
audiences.  In Series 1, we're offered a show about Sherlock Holmes,
the Saint and the Shadow.  In Series 2, we find Hercule Poirot.  In
Series 3, there's Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe.  If you like mystery
and detective shows, any of the shows are a treat.
