Abstract

In 1930 the BBC invited well-known writers to write different chapters in a thriller for a radio. ‘Behind the Screen’ was dubbed an experiment by the Talks department, but it was followed a year later by ‘The Scoop’. The stories were published in The Listener magazine the following week. The contributing authors were Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie, Hugh Walpole, E.C. Bentley, Anthony Berkeley Cox, Ronald Knox, Freeman Wills Crofts and Clemence Dane. Their attitudes to the experiment—and to publishing their creative work on the radio—varied considerably. This chapter analyses this historical cross-media experiment.
