    Sorry about the mistake regarding "Scotland Yard."  The star of that program
    was Basil Rathbone, not Vincent Price.  Anyone have any episodes from that
    program?

    SCOTLAND YARD'S INSPECTOR BURKE starred Basil Rathbone, not Vincent Price.
    According to Jay Hickerson's ULTIMATE HISTORY OF NETWORK RADIO PROGRAMMING
    AND GUIDE TO ALL CIRCULATING SHOWS, no episodes are known to survive.

    along with its audio version for blind readers or anyone who is interested.

    Additionally, First Arkansas News is selling "Lum and Abner" coffee mugs, tee

    They're hoping to get commercial sponsors signed on soon, but are also still

    Thanks to all!

>     While listening to one of the many streaming audio OTR stations the other

    I remember seeing the Dragnet comic strip in the Albany Times-Union when
    we moved to Albany in 1953.  I hadn't seen Dragnet on television very
    much, but I remember thinking that the drawings really did look like Joe
    Friday (Jack Webb).

    One of the interesting things about the strip was that, while most comic
    strips were headed by the title of the strip on the left above the first
    panel and the writer or artist on the right, Dragnet had no writer or
    artist credit (at least in the Times-Union).  Instead it said, "An
    authentic police story."

    BTW, I recently got hold of some DVDs of old 1950s episodes of the
    Dragnet TV show, and I was surprised to see (or hear) that the famous
    Dragnet theme music was blanked out wherever it appeared.  I'm guessing
    that the episodes were determined to be in the public domain, but the
    theme music was not.

    Wasn't there a "Radio Reader's Digest," as well  as some daytime show
    inspired by either Redbook or Ladies Home Journal? And  if I'm not
    mistaken, the
    "March of Time" program was produced by Time  magazine.

    To the best of my knowledge, there is no surviving audio copy of any of
    the "Scotland Yard" programs.  The program had a full one-year run from
    January 21 to December 29th of 1947.  Inspector Burke was played by Basil
    Rathbone, and it was one of two radio series that Mr. Rathbone had
    subsequent to his run on "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", which
    he left at the end of the spring 1946 season because he thought that he
    was becoming type-cast.

    The other series was "Tales of Fatima", which ran on CBS radio from
    January 8th to October 1 of 1949.  The theme was that of Basil Rathbone
    (not Vincent Price) playing himself, in a situation where various people
    came to him to solve their problems because of his fame as the portrayer
    of Sherlock Holmes.  It was sponsored by Fatima Cigarettes.

    God bless us, every one!

    I'm sure I won't be the only one to say that the series starred Basil Rathbone
    not Vincent Price. It was a vehicle for him after he decided to move on from
    Sherlock Holmes (he was afraid of being type cast apparently). It was written
    by Peter Barry (Falcon, Shadow etc.) and produced by Carlos de Angelo and
    started on 21st January but I don't think it found a sponsor and it didn't
    last a full year (ending 29th December).

    I read some time ago that all the episodes had been rediscovered but to date
    I've never seen or heard any.

    Jan Bach asks if anyone knew about the DRAGNET comic strip that ran in
    newspapers from 1952-55.  Anyone who's read my book MY NAME'S FRIDAY certainly
    does!

    In 2006, I posted several examples of this strip, including its first five
    days, at my blog:

    Storylines were provided by the Mark VII writing staff, especially Jack
    Robinson, and - naturally - were based on actual case files.
