    1 9 5 5 (UK)

    This half-hour drama series based on actual Scotland Yard case files was introduced by noted journalist and criminologist Edgar Lustgarten and offered dramatized accounts of real crimes which had been investigated by the men of the Metropolitan Police.

    Although the cast changed every week, a few characters (like Inspector Duggan) appeared on a semi-regular basis.

    The show was particularly popular in the USA, where it was known simply as Scotland Yard.
