Mutiny on the Bounty (radio serial)

Mutiny on the Bounty is a 1938 Australian radio serial about the Mutiny on the Bounty. It was written by Anthony Scott Veitch and directed by Harvey Adams, who also starred.

According to one account "Probably never before in Australian radio drama has such a cast been assembled to make a drama, nor have such care and expense been lavished on a radio production."

The show was a milestone in the career of Scott Veith and included a number of actors who became film stars including Peter Finch and Ron Randell.

The show was repeated in 1941.
