Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Australian Radio: Programme Guide.
A respected name conceals a terrifying division. This Australian serial expands Robert Louis Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde story into short dramatic instalments, letting the conflict develop across a longer sequence.
Broadcast history.
The George Edwards production is commonly catalogued as a 52-part serial from 1943–1944. Some broader histories offer earlier associations with the adaptation, so exact dates for individual surviving transfers need separate confirmation.
Cast and creative team.
George Edwards and his players performed the adaptation. Edwards was known for taking several voices, and the surviving catalogue associates him with multiple roles in this production. A complete role-by-role list for HRV’s six transfers is not verified here.
Where to begin.

These available recordings offer an introduction to this collection. Their current publication dates are separate from historical broadcast dates.
An interesting detail.
A brief novel can become a much longer radio serial through added scenes and sustained suspense. The adaptation’s structure should not be assumed to follow the book chapter for chapter.
Listening appeal.
Follow the available instalments in story order where possible. This small selection includes late developments and a conclusion, so it is more useful as a glimpse of the production than an unbroken first encounter with the whole plot.
Collection and date notes.
HRV lists 6 public recordings. The surviving HRV selection has gaps and includes later plot material. Current podcast dates describe later archive publication, separately from original broadcast dates.
