Whitehall 1212

Case of Mrs. Minerva Bannamon

von

Whitehall 1212 is a police drama set in London’s Scotland Yard. Its title refers to the telephone number used by the Yard, and the series draws on cases handled by the department’s officers and detectives.

Each broadcast presents a crime investigation as a self-contained radio story, following the clues and police work that bring a case toward resolution. The program’s setting gives it a procedural feel, with attention to interviews, evidence, and the decisions involved in pursuing a suspect.

The result is a measured crime drama grounded in the routines of police work rather than a light comedy or a purely sensational mystery. Its London setting and case-by-case format make it a good choice for listeners who enjoy classic radio detective stories and the atmosphere of an investigation unfolding through dialogue and sound.
