About this listen

 The Night Watchman is a 1940 Australian radio series by Max Afford based on the story by W. Jacobs. It was an anthology series based on different stories by Jacobs, all narrated by a night watchman. The show replaced Afford's Grey Face.

Bert Barton played the Nightwatchman, who narrated the stories.Reviewing the first episode Wireless Weekly said the series "will give pleasure to a specialised audience... These stories have an undoubted human interest. If working class philosophy appeals to you, and you find the dialect pleasant to your ears, you will be a constant listener."The series was popular. It was repeated again later that year and rebroadcast in 1945 (directed by Frank Harvey) and 1948.Copyright Radio Shows of the Past! Art World
