Whitehall 1212 Volume Three

Whitehall 1212 was the famous telephone number for Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police Force and is also the name given to an exciting true crime drama from the golden age of radio. Written and directed by Wyllis Cooper, Whitehall 1212 aired on NBC from 1951 until 1952. It was hosted by Chief Superintendent John Davidson, curator of the Black Museum, Scotland Yard's repository of death. After my own extensive research, I have been unable to locate any written scripts from the original radio broadcasts and have assumed them to be lost. However, recordings of the entire series are available on various 'old time radio' websites and I have used these to transcribe and adapt the scripts so that they can be performed once again.
