Mysterious Circumstances

BBC Transcription Services radio drama
from archive.org

The MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES title was used to group a series of 26 half-hour radio plays distributed by the BBC Transcription Service. The thrillers were either recorded for BBC Transcription Services or taken by them from the BBC's main archive -- some may never have even been broadcast within the UK itself. I've uploaded the 18 I have -- unfortunately many are in poor sound quality but a few are very good.

Episodes run from 1958 to 1989 and perhaps beyond.
