Summary
IN THIS EPISODE: Created by suspense writer John Dickson Carr, BBC Radio’s “Appointment with Fear” is often compared to the American series Suspense. John Dickson Carr also wrote for Cabin B-13 and WWII propaganda scripts. If you are a John Dickson Carr fan or a Suspense fan, you’ll probably enjoy the few existing episodes of this excellent mystery program. Unfortunately, there are only four surviving episodes today.
