Presented by Bill MacLurg
A weekly programme introducing famous detectives of fact and fiction

1 - 'Barton of the Yard' presenting Ex.-Detective-Inspector Jack Henry, late of New Scotland Yard, in 'Muffled Oars'
Written by Jack Henry and Patrick K. Heale

2 - 'Who Broke the Law?'
A series written by Charles Hatton showing how easy it is for the man-in-the-street to break the law quite unknowingly. Listen carefully and see if you can discover the way in which the law is broken

3 - 'Meet the Arrow'
A new series of detective adventures written by Ernest Dudley
Production by Bill MacLurg
Meet Stephen Arrow - an entirely new radio detective who makes his bow in this evening's edition of 'Crime Magazine.' Arrow is a humorous cynic, with a not always happy penchant for whistling a certain tune. Thus his identity is rather inclined to be revealed.
There will be at least six of these Arrow episodes, and in each of them Arrow himself will tell the story, linking together dramatic episodes.
