Inspector West


 

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.
