Lesson plan
Double Demon
Double Demon is a 1951 Australian radio serial by Max Afford featuring his detective hero, Jeffrey Blackburn. He wrote it after returning to Australia following a long trip to England, whereupon he signed a long-term contract with the ABC. This serial was one of the first results of that new arrangement. According to ABC Weekly "it is the first time the Blackburns have travelled to Australia. It is also the first thriller, as far as Mr. Afford knows, in which the detective knows who the criminal is, but—coming from another country—has no legal status to act." (The plot involves the Blackburns travelling to Queensland.)
