Series Description:
WHITEHALL 1212 was a British police OTR drama series brought to the
United States, sometimes mistaken for THE BLACK MUSEUM. The series
was heard over NBC. WHitehall 1212 was the police emergency phone
number in London just before '999' (their equalvalent of "911" here
in the States).
Wyllis Cooper, of QUIET PLEASE fame, wrote the script for all 44
shows in the series.
Log Comments:
All catalogs had dates to go with episode titles. Ed Carr's and
Radio Memories' catalogs listed episode number. Titles vary between
sources, in many cases, being only "The Case of" or "The Murder of"
before the title. I've used the most complete title found. Where
titles varied other than that, the most common is used first and
others are listed below it as alternates.
