This time, a show dedicated to one of the most spellbinding actresses of her generation - Ava Gardner - and a trio of movies she made before she became the icon we know today.

She's a big city girl who returns home for one last try with her down-at-heel boyfriend in 1946 thriller, Whistle Stop, a bride-to-be whose home is being menaced by Bela Lugosi and The East Side Kids in 1943's Ghosts On The Loose, and finally, a race-horse owner who's determined to have her man in 1945's She Went To The Races.

Ava also takes centre-stage for a taut tale of tension in radio's outstanding theatre of thrills - Suspense!

In this edition of the show, allow me to introduce you to two of the weirdest, yet joyously entertaining B movies from one of Hollywood's pioneering studios on Poverty Row...

First up, its bloodsuckers ahoy in 1945's The Vampire's Ghost starring one of the most unlikely leading men of the forties.

Then we're heading into supernatural mind swap territory for 1945's The Phantom Speaks, in which one of the best character actors of the Golden Age turns to the spirit world to prove his theories, with disastrous results...

Radio this time comes from Arch Oboler's masterful Lights Out, and one of the most meta horror stories ever broadcast on the air

This time, a brace of movies starring the King of The High Concept, the man who starred as The Bigamist for Ida Lupino, a man who solves his own murder in DOA, and a man who must do battle with a serial killer and his own masculinity in The Hitch Hiker - Mr Edmond O'Brien!

I'll tell you all about O'Brien's appearances in Columbia's first ever 3D movie, a noir mystery based on a Ralph Bellamy sci-fir classic, AND the brief but intriguing tale of a writer whose literary creation seems to have sprung to life from the page...

Radio entertainment comes this time courtesy of Escape and the mind of HG Wells...
