Secrets of Scotland Yard was a crime drama series that captivated listeners with stories based on true cases from the London Metropolitan Police. Each week, the show followed detectives at Scotland Yard as they investigated notorious criminals and their infamous trials. The gripping stories ranged from the theft of the British crown jewels to murder investigations, with each case presenting a unique mystery for the detectives to solve. The show, an independent production by the Towers of London syndicate, initially featured Clive Brook as the host and later introduced an actor portraying Superintendent X of Scotland Yard, adding authenticity to the narrative.</p><p>The series aired internationally between 1949 and 1951 and eventually made its way to the US radio network in 1957 on the Mutual Broadcasting System. With over 100 episodes, one of them, "The Bone From A Voice Box", served as the prototype for another well-known Towers Of London dramatic series, The Black Museum, both featuring renowned actors as host and narrator. Clive Brook, the initial host of Secrets of Scotland Yard, was an accomplished film director, writer, and actor who was best known for his roles in "Shanghai Express" and "Sherlock Holmes". His experience with the 1936 film "Scotland Yard Commands" brought an air of authenticity to the show, as did his discussions with crime expert and reporter Percy Hoskins.
