The Clock was a suspenseful and psychological radio anthology series that aired from 1946 to 1948, with its stories narrated by a deep-voiced "Father Time" figure. Created and written by Lawrence Klee, the show was originally broadcast from New York with East Coast radio actors, but in 1947 it moved to Hollywood, where it featured prominent talents like Jeanette Nolan, Cathy and Elliott Lewis. The Clock's stories revolved around the themes of time, retribution, and the manipulation of our lives, often with thrilling and thought-provoking results. Despite its well-written scripts and well-known actors, the show struggled to find a sponsor and was ultimately cancelled in 1948. However, the series was later revived in 1955 in Australia, where it gained popularity with new material and most of the original American scripts.
