AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Adjust the dial, tune in for an evening of suspense and intrigue and witness the world’s greatest detectives at their sleuthing best. Incomparable duo Holmes and Watson team up to avert disaster at the hands of THE SOLITARY CYCLIST, while Divorced Detectives Ridley Jones and Teresa Scott are embroiled in a mad train chase to thwart a criminal mastermind in THE DEAD(LY) WIVES CLUB.

'Set in a 1950’s studio in the heyday of the radio play, marvel as atmospheric sound effects are created before your very eyes from galloping horses’ hooves to distant thunder… and a menacing squeaky bicycle.'
