''The Scoop'' & ''Behind The Screen'' are both collaborative detective serials written by members of the Detection Club which were broadcast weekly by their authors on the BBC National Programme in 1930 and 1931 with the scripts then being published in ''The Listener'' within a week after broadcast. The two serials were first published in book form in the UK by Victor Gollancz Ltd in 1983 and in the US by Harper & Row in 1984. The UK edition retailed at £6.95. Julian Symons, then President of the club (), explains in his introduction: "...The present volume... was written to provide funds so that club premises might be acquired. Other books with the same purpose, also the product of several hands, were ''The Floating Admiral'' (1931), ... ''Ask A Policeman'' (1933), ... and ... ''Verdict of Thirteen''. ..." ==Behind the Screen== The episodes, contributors, transmission and magazine publication details of this serial are as follows (all episodes were transmitted from 9.25pm to 9.40pm): * (1): (Episode unnamed), written and broadcast by Hugh Walpole.
