The Eleventh Hour (ep45) The Double

You will notice script similarities with other shows of the time. There are no dates or episode numbers associated with this series. I have added episode numbers for organizational purposes only.

Radio Thrillers, at least, the very good ones (and there were several) sound like something that should be listened to late at night, after your parents have gone to bed, with your bed-side radio turned down low so that you do not wake anyone else in the house, with your head buried deep under the sheets so that the monsters cannot get you.

The best of these psychological dramas was so well made and popular that the networks often scheduled them in Prime Time. Shows like Suspense, Inner Sanctum Mysteries, The Whistler, and several other short-story based thrillers brought in a lot of money into the network coffers.

This made them attractive to imitators overseas, and some of these copies were incredibly compelling.

Artransa Park Studios in Sydney, Australia, began such an effort in cooperation with local broadcaster 2GB 873AM and the Australian Broadcasting Company in the early 1960s.

Approximately 52 broadcasts of The Eleventh Hour were recorded for syndication.
