Often referred to as ÔThe poor manÕs Sherlock HolmesÕ or ÔThe SchoolboyÕs detectiveÕ Sexton Blake, has within various publications, thrilled generations all over the world for well over a hundred years. In this book we explore the character's transition within the written word to the medium of theatre, cinema, radio and television. With fond remembrances of those involved within the Rediffusion-Thames television series as well as the BBC Radio series, the book touches upon the technical and human origins of these productions using rare documentation, scripts and photographic references some of which have never been in print before.
