John Creasey (born September 17, 1908 in Surrey – died June 9, 1973 in Wiltshire) was a prolific English crime writer, who published in excess of 600 novels under 28 different pseudonyms, creating along the way many characters who are now internationally famous. STAND BY FOR WEST was the generic title for a series of BBC serials featuring Inspector Roger West of Scotland Yard. Inspector West was the creation of John Creasey (1908-1973). Mr. Creasy was a rather prolific writer who wrote almost six hundred novels under twenty-eight names. Roger West's flair for detection, his persistance and thoroughness and his courage explain his being the youngest man at Scotland Yard to have reached the ranks of chief inspector and superintendent. West is a likable man with a brisk, no-noncense attitude who can be tough when needed but who sometimes takes people's troubles too personally. Six of Mr. Creasy's over 40 novels featuring Inspector West were adapted for BBC radio between 1967 and 1971. Each was adapted as a multi-part serial, with 30-minute episodes. All episodes starred Patrick Allen and Sarah Lawson. All episodes were adapted from the novels by Maurice Travers. The first two serials were produced by John Fawcett Wilson. The remaining four were produced by John Browell.

Two excellent BBC radio serials. [The first seven files form a single novel.] Which means there should be four more ... Many thanks to the uploader, excellent quality. [I have only listened to the first seven files so far but have no doubt the rest will be fine.]

I enjoyed listening to these, even if I was slightly on the edge of my seat from section to section. The plot was fast-paced and the voice acting so top-notch, that my husband was drawn into listening, and asked me to turn up the volume. I will say these are not the best stories to tru to fall asleep with. But that doesn’t mean I won’t try it again tonight for the third night in a row. 😁

A first time experience with excellent performance quality on old time radio. Totally worth the time spent. Glad I didn’t have to wait a day between each episode.
