Whitehall 1212
🎙️ The Official Files of Scotland Yard – As Heard on NBC Radio (1951–1952)

Step into the shadowy streets of post-war London, where justice is served from behind the iconic doors of Scotland Yard. Named for the famous telephone number of the Yard's public inquiry office, Whitehall 1212 presents gripping dramatizations of actual case files—never solved with flair, but with relentless British tenacity.

Hosted by Chief Superintendent John Davidson, curator of the famed Black Museum, each episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at real crimes—robberies, murders, forgeries—drawn from the dusty archives of Scotland Yard. With a tone more procedural than sensational, these rare broadcasts reveal how quiet detective work, dogged persistence, and human intuition closed some of London’s most notorious cases.

🎧 This Chesterton Radio collection presents the best of Whitehall 1212—remastered for clarity and introduced with reverence for the drama and realism of Old Time Radio’s golden age.
