English Old Time Radio from
the 1950s.
This is a vintage radio drama series about a criminal psychologist, Dr Morelle,
who solves murder cases which are too complex for the police. Morelle is played
by English film actor Cecil Parker, and is alternately helped and hindered in
his investigations by his secretary Miss Frayle, played by film actress Sheila
Sim.
The series was created by writer Ernest Dudley, who conceived the character
during an air raid in 1942. The curmudgeonly and sarcastic psychologist is
thought to be based on Hollywood actor and producer Erich von Stroheim; and as
played by Cecil Parker the character certainly has a touch of the aristocrat
about him.
In a nod to the Baker Street residence of Sherlock Holmes, Morelle's London
office is situated at 221b Harley Street. Most of the stories begin there, with
his long-suffering secretary patiently enduring her employer's endless sarcasm.
Each of the stories is self-contained, with Morelle solving the mystery in the
final scene. Unusually for the time, he solves each case not by hunting for
clues in the manner of Sherlock Holmes, but instead through a psychiatrist's
insight into the personality of the killer: using his professional experience
to consider the suspects, in order to determin which of them matches the
deduced personality of the murderer.
Thirteen episodes were broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in 1957, aired
weekly from April 23rd to July 16th
