Hodge-podging about "Squad Cars" and other things

Thanks to OTRR.org, I have been introduced to Squad Cars, a South African series that came out in the mid-1960's.

I haven't listened to that many episodes so I'm not reviewing the show but I do want to tell you it's Dragneteque combined with that British feel (yes, I know South Africa is nowhere near the United Kingdom.)

If you like police drama on radio, this is a series I'm pretty sure you will enjoy.   The accents are not hard to understand.

Later, after I have listened to more episodes, I will try and write a review.

Meanwhile, there literally is nothing much going on that I can post.  A lot of my time is spent with my three Vic and Sade blogs (you non-Vic and Sade fans probably only know of the one but there are actually three of them now!)

This stems from the fact that I am a tremendous fan of the series and I suppose I will never understand why you people who do not listen to Vic and Sade haven't given it a better try.

I honestly am looking for things to post but I am just not finding much.

Did you know [#06]

Did you know Fibber McGee and Molly made a South African version of their show (just one.)  I have never heard it but I understand it's about "cleaning the hall cupboard" (which is the "closet.")

If anyone knows where to find it, I'd love to hear it.

Series you may have never heard: Dambusters

Dambusters was a 30 minute, South African radio serial that was based on the book called, "Dam Busters."

The show was made sometime in the early 1950's.

To my knowledge, there are 26 shows available, with no shows in these 26 missing.

It's done quite well.  It's worth taking a listen to.

Yes, it's about busting (Nazi) dams.
