Let George Do It: Forty-Two on a Rope

Let George Do It was a detective drama radio series that aired from 1946 to 1954. The show starred Bob Bailey as George Valentine, a private detective who solved cases in his own unique way. Each episode began with a telephone call to Valentine's office, in which a client would ask him to investigate a case. With the help of his secretary, Brooksie, played by Frances Robinson, Valentine would dive headfirst into the case, often finding himself in dangerous situations.

One of the unique features of Let George Do It was its humor and wit. The show often poked fun at the detective genre and the conventions of detective stories. Valentine was not the typical hard-boiled, cynical private eye of many detective dramas, but rather a witty and charming character who used his intelligence and quick thinking to solve cases.

The show also had a strong emphasis on character development, with recurring characters and ongoing storylines. This allowed the show to explore the personal lives of its characters in addition to the cases they were investigating. Let George Do It was popular among audiences and ran for a total of 209 episodes, making it one of the longest-running detective dramas in radio history.
