1 form y separately published work icon They Called Him Cody George Evans , Australia : Australian Broadcasting Commission , 1941 8799182 1941 single work radio play thriller

'This time, the author is ingeniously concerned with the dangerous topic of fifth-columnism. Dangerous, that is, for those who indulge in it. We are not going to give an instance, for that is for you to guess at. At any rate, certain it is that information about convoys is getting to the enemy. But how? 'It's absurd,' ruminates Bartlett. 'The censorship is nearly as foolproof as it can be made. There is, of course, the possibility of a code. An innocent letter dealing with the family doings might conceivably cover the most vital news.' 'You're letting your imagination run away with you,' snaps Sir Wilfred. 'Codes and ciphers survive mostly in the pages of Secret Service fiction and in radio plays.' Which is right?'

1 form y separately published work icon The Case of a Man Obsessed George Evans , Australia : Australian Broadcasting Commission , 1941 8799056 1941 single work radio play detective

'"The Case of a Man Obsessed" is another light sleuthing adventure of a comedy pair who have already been heard on the air in two plays, Messrs Smart and Nicolson. This time they are concerned with the deaths, within a month, of three persons closely connected with a murder trial which happened four years previously. The curious Tim Nlcolson links this up with the recent return to Australia of Harry Champion, chief witness for the prosecution in that trial.'

1 form y separately published work icon The Clue of the Missing Tablet George Evans , Australia : Australian Broadcasting Commission , 1940 8798986 1940 single work radio play detective

'Here is a murder story with a considerable difference— no gore, no thrills, but rather a nice line in deduction and fancy back-chat! In this adventure the two hungry crime experts have a spot of very dirty luck indeed. George has not been called in officially to the case of the late Mrs. Upjohn — he is "doing it as a sort of mental exercise." So, in the privacy of the George Smart Detective Agency, he and Timothy re-enact the case for their own benefit and are just about to offer their solution to the police when news comes. . .. . But this is giving far too much away!'

1 form y separately published work icon The Clue of the Lisping Man George Evans , Australia : Australian Broadcasting Commission , 1939 8798944 1939 single work radio play detective

'Crime stories, like 'gee-gees' run in al shapes. [sic] Some are frank tales of horror; some romances, with a murder discretely in the back ground, as the object in a sleuthing competition; and here and there is one shot through with humour and evidently not intended to be taken too tragically. In this third class is "The Clue of the Lisping Man."'
