It happened in ...
It happened in ... was a 70-part radio play series that was produced and broadcast by Westdeutscher Rundfunk between 1957 and 1961 .
shape
Similar to the series The Hunt for the Perpetrator and The Court Retires for Consultation, the manuscripts for each self-contained episode were based on a true story from different parts of Europe and America. The events were often based on criminal acts.
The scripts were written by different writers and a large number of directors were used, while the same actors often appeared in other characters. The individual episodes were sometimes broadcast weekly or fortnightly, but sometimes also at large intervals of several months. Each episode was different in length, between 30 and 50 minutes.
