About the Book

Seven installments of the classic radio crime drama starring Cecil Parker, plus special documentary feature A Case for Dr Morelle. Dr Morelle uses psychological insight, criminology, and dogged persistence to solve cases. Here he must deduce the answers to mysteries including a hotel death, a man tormented by nightmares, and deadly threats made to an elderly spinster. Created by Ernest Dudley as "the man you love to hate," sarcastic, self-opinionated psychiatrist-sleuth Dr Morelle first appeared on the radio show Monday Night at Eight in 1942. He was one of the most memorable of the British radio detectives and thrilled millions week after week with his unique combination of arrogance and omniscience. First broadcast on BBC radio in 1957, and published here for the very first time, these seven episodes are "Alarm Call," "Confession of Guilt," "Threat to Kill," "The Sleepwalker," "The Blackmailer," "Voice in the Night," and "The Will." Also included is a 1999 BBC radio documentary, A Case for Dr Morelle, in which cultural historian and mystery aficionado Professor Jeffrey Richards examines the casebook of the Harley Street detective. Classic Radio Crime: presenting vintage detectives for your investigation! Duration: 4 hours approximately.


About the Author: Ernest Dudley joined a repertory company in Ireland at age 17 and subsequently becoming part of Charles Doran's Shakespearean company. With his wife Jane Grahame he starred in the first British touring production of Noel Coward's Private Lives. After performing minor roles in several more West End plays, Dudley decided that he was better suited to writing than acting, and became a gossip columnist for the Daily Mail. He also started writing scripts for BBC Radio. His long-running radio series Mr Walker Wants to Know was adapted as a novel of the same name in 1939, and in 1942 Dudley was given his own radio show, The Armchair Detective. It ran for more than 10 years, had over 10 million listeners, and was even adapted as a film in 1951, in which Dudley starred. 1942 also saw the first appearance of Dudley's most famous radio creation, the psychiatrist detective Dr Morelle, who made his debut on the anthology show Monday Night at Eight. The segments featuring him were entitled Meet Dr Morelle, and between 1942 and 1946 they starred Dennis Arundell as Morelle and Dudley's wife as Miss Frayle. Heron Carvic took over the lead role from 1947-48, and in 1957 Cecil Parker was the voice of Morelle in the 13-episode series A Case for Dr Morelle (with Sheila Sim as Miss Frayle). The success of the radio series led to several spin-offs: Dudley wrote three volumes of short stories and 12 novels featuring Morelle and co-wrote (with Arthur Watkyn) the play Dr Morelle. A film, The Case of The Missing Heiress, was made in 1949, starring Valentine Dyall. Dudley scripted many other series for radio and television, including the 1950s TV series Judge For Yourself, in which the audience decided the outcome of fictional court cases; a 1967 radio comedy thriller series starring Leslie Phillips, The House of Unspeakable Secrets; and a 1987 radio adaptation of Dick Francis' Proof. He kept writing well into his 90s, penning numerous books including crime fiction, historical novels, nonfiction, and biographies.
