The series has finished on BBC Radio 4 Extra, but episodes of 'A Case for Dr Morelle' remain available for the next four weeks on BBC Sounds.

(And the theme music, featuring organ, oboe and bassoon, is delightful. Would love to know more about that music.)

I must admit to a certain pleasure in listening to recordings of the 1957 programmes of the mystery series 'A Case for Dr Morelle' on BBC Radio 4 Extra.

The mysteries are not very difficult to figure out, and the scripts revel in rather blatant stereotypes, but I find great amusement in the performance of Cecil Parker, who gets the opportunity to ham it up as Dr Morelle (and such hamminess is exactly what the role required).
