🎙️About Whitehall 1212:
Named after the then famous telephone number of New Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police Force, Whitehall 1212 was a weekly Crime Drama Radio Show. It ran from November 18, 1951 until September 28, 1952.
The stories were true and stated to be "the plain unvarnished facts, just as they occurred." In their own words, the series presented some of the "most baffling cases" as hosted by the fictitious Scotland Yard Chief Superintendent John Davison. Davison was said to be the curator of the Yard's "Black Museum" a name given it in 1877. Artifacts described in the show were the basis for the story about the crime.
Whitehall 1212 was actually produced in the United States at NBC. The stories were well researched by Percy Hoskins, Chief Crime Reporter of the London Daily Express, and by the Writer/Director, Wyllis Cooper. Also, the show had the official support of the Yard. The cast were all British, which gives the show an authentic air and appeal.
The stories are told from the view of the police who did the difficult work in solving the case, and thus it down plays some of the more sensational aspects. In comparison, at the same time, Orson Welles was on a show titled "The Black Museum." It was a production of British commercial radio producer Harry Alan Towers and told the story in a more dramatic fashion. The two shows closely paralleled each other, and ran during the same timeframe. "The Black Museum" ran in the United States on the Mutual Network from January 1st to December 30th, 1952.
Wyllis Cooper was noteworthy for his work on "Quiet Please," and "Lights Out," which were both radio shows in the Horror/Thriller genre. However, working from purely factual basis for the stories limited his artistic expression. Still, the stories were well presented and compelling.
