The series premiered over CKRC on January 3rd, 1954 and ran until June 27th 1954. Reportedly performed, recorded and transcribed at the London studios of Towers of London, the series advertised a cast comprised of mostly Canadian ex-patriates to add a more authentic Canadian flavour to the series. In practice we can hear both Lou Jacobi and Arthur Hill in supporting roles during the series, so it would seem apparent that at least two of the episodes of The Queen's Men were recorded in Canada. Both Canadian-born, Lou Jacobi and Arthur Hill went on to distinguished careers on the Stage, in Film and on Television.<br /> The Queen's Men is undoubtedly one of only a handful of Radio programmes of the era in which both famous actors appeared at the same time. And authentic it is, as one can tell from the moment the first 'aboot' is uttered in lieu of 'about.' The Queen's Men was written in Canada by John Adaskin and was produced, directed and transcribed in London by Harry Alan Towers. Tower
