Queen, the only radio program I ever heard, even after the fact, was Orson Well's War of the Worlds. I looked at Wikipedia articles on radio programs from the 1950s and 1960s and didn't recognize any of them. I don't know where to start to guess so I guess I'll take a pass on this one category. Have fun!! And I'll look for someone else's correct choice! Have a good evening!

queenmomcat

Time for a hint, I think: try "radio drama" on Wikipedia. It's not Firesign Theater.....

from Oliver Twist, lord of the flies, Alfie....thats all one question....I had chemo yesterday...yes I am using the chemo card !

queenmomcat

11. None of those listed (not Oliver Twist, Lord of the Flies, Alfie)

It is, or rather they are, original work, not an adaptation of something else.

Appeared post-1970.

susan3

that was my bad. You said never been seen. Ahhhhh so I incorporated that into my google, they came up with Shirley temple, the saint , ms marple, the shadow , what's up with Google!!,! They have all been on TV. I can't even search intelligently . Ugggggggg

queenmomcat

Never quite trusted Google to come up with an accurate answer! (my favorite hiccup was a search for "igloo" as in the thing that Inuit/Eskimos build/t which produced the Penguin hockey team''s web site.)

Did The Shadow ever become visitle?

susan3

yes, he was in comic strips, dressed in black, with cape and mask...so it can't be Evan or whatever his name was...could be wrong on name:)

I do give up on google

queenmomcat

Kent Allard (or Lamont Cranston) are the character's name(s) that I recall. Not that I'm a radio geek or anything. Another radio role for Orson Welles.
