additionally, harry alan towers has cast doubt on whether welles even wrote the episodes he was credited with. he describes how the series started being written by a team of experienced american radio scriptwriters. when welles discovered they were being paid $1,000 per script, he offered to write 6 scripts himself. the scripts were delivered and towers duly paid welles $6,000. then one day, a man walked into towers' office, demanding to be paid for the scripts which "he" had ghostwritten for welles. when welles was asked about it later, he smiled: "don't pay him. they weren't very good scripts."
