It Walks by Night is an Australian radio serial by Max Afford featuring his detective hero, Jeffrey Blackburn.[1]
("It Walks by Night" was also the title of an episode of another Blackburn serial, Grey face.)
Mary McGregor and Douglas Kelly played the lead roles of Elizabeth and Jeffrey Blackburn. This new casting upset some listeners who were used to hearing Peter Finch and Neva Carr Glynn in the roles.
The serial was being played again in 1954 when Afford died.[2]
