0900 GMT Including Dangerously Yours with Victor Jory
"Dangerously Yours" was a radio drama series that aired in the 1940s, starring Victor Jory as the lead character. The show was a romantic adventure series that followed the exploits of an international adventurer and his dangerous romantic entanglements around the world.
Victor Jory, known for his distinctive deep voice and dramatic presence, played the protagonist who would find himself in various exotic locations, typically involving espionage, romance, and intrigue. The series had a film noir sensibility common to many radio dramas of that era, with sophisticated dialogue and complex romantic relationships that often put the main character in perilous situations.
Heard on the CBS Radio Network, the show was part of the golden age of radio drama in the 1940s, when such programs were a popular form of entertainment. Like many radio series of the time, "Dangerously Yours" relied heavily on atmospheric sound effects, music, and Jory's compelling vocal performance to create vivid scenes and maintain audience engagement.
The series typically featured standalone episodes, though some recurring themes and character types appeared throughout. Each episode would generally involve the protagonist becoming romantically involved with a woman who was somehow connected to danger, whether through espionage, crime, or other adventurous circumstances.
Victor Jory was well-suited for this type of role, having established himself as an actor capable of portraying both romantic leads and more sinister characters in films and on stage. His radio work on "Dangerously Yours" capitalized on his ability to convey both charm and menace through his voice alone. We have added episodes of Dangerously Yours to our Crimefighters collection at Radio Then.
0200 GMT DRAGNET
Dragnet was an American radio series, enacting the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show took its name from the police term "dragnet", meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
Dragnet is perhaps the most famous and influential police procedural drama in media history. The series gave audience members a feel for the boredom and drudgery, as well as the danger and heroism, of police work. Dragnet earned praise for improving the public opinion of police officers.
