Great scenarios
The delivery is definitely dated but not too irritating.
The scenarios are cases from the early to mid-twentieth century and I know them to be real cases as they are for the most part included in books on the development of forensics in the uk- though some were, or have become since, much less clear cut and controversial than presented here.
Overall an enjoyable listen for me.

Essentially Tales from The Black Museum
Well produced, dodgy accents if not RP and baffling , for us anyway as different rules in the US, name changes. It is of its time but, despite the subject matter, entertaining.
