East, Roger

Page history last edited by Jon 13 years, 2 months ago

Roger East (1904-??) Probably the same man as the British screenwriter Roger East, who wrote for the 1960s BBC TV series Maigret and Dr. Finlay's Casebook. East also wrote "Three Steps In the Dark", a detective story, in 1953, possibly for the BBC Drama department. The name was a pseudonym used by Roger d' Este Burford, born Leicestershire England 1904. His only series character was Colin Knowles, who appeared in two books. East may have been involved in the British film industry in the 1930's, and was a friend of Oswald Blakeston, a British film reviewer and artist. East collaborated with Blakeston on four books using the pen-name 'Simon'.
