Whitehall 1212

Case of Dr. Duncan Allen

von

Whitehall 1212 is a police procedural set in London’s Scotland Yard, named for the telephone number used to reach its Criminal Investigation Department. The series centers on Superintendent John Davidson and the detectives who investigate cases brought to the Yard.

Each broadcast presents a crime investigation, following the clues and questioning that help the police piece together what happened. The stories draw on the work of Scotland Yard and offer a dramatized look at the methods and challenges of solving cases.

The program’s appeal lies in its measured, documentary-like approach: rather than relying on sensational action, it builds interest through evidence, interviews, and the steady progress of an investigation. This recording is titled “Case of Dr. Duncan Allen.”
