The three detectives make known to the search for the Parrot Blackbeard, in later episodes shortly "Blacky". They soon encounter some puzzles that will ultimately lead to a missing painting. Technically action the result is very well implemented, already the beginning turns out exciting. The # 1 radio play is also special because Viktor Hugenay occurs which excels in the course of time when the opponents of the detective trio. The end of the famous fog scene harbors in the cemetery, again very well done!
The speakers are all great! Peter Pasetti as Alfred Hitchcock, Kahtarina Brauren as Ms. Waggoner and Gerlach Fiedler as Mr. Claudius ... all super professional!
Within the classic radio plays of this series have always followed a certain educational mission, which I always found very informative and interesting. For example, explained here, who was Lucullus.
Who Die drei ??? want to experience in their infancy, which must necessarily have this Episode 1! Relive the birth of the famous telephone avalanche, and learns how the Trio to Blacky comes, which provides life within the headquarters again and again in later episodes.
There are a few logical loopholes in the case, but that is of course beside the point. So you really do not learn how the detectives learn the name of Mr. Claudius. Justus speaks of him suddenly, but it is unclear where he knows him. Moreover Justus claimed after the call at the headquarters that his mother was just on the phone to announce his visit of Mr. and Mrs. Claudius. But we know from later episodes that Justus parents no longer live. In such an iconic listening pleasure you can ignore these errors but.
5 stars for this iconic setting of the first case of the three question marks!
