Radio award nominated, "WHO KILLED BILLED?", written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Marc-Ivan O'Gorman, produced by Daryl Moorhouse of Tinpot Productions, tells the compelling story of the life and death of Irish-born Hollywood director William Desmond Taylor. A top director of his time, his murder in February 1922 became the biggest scandal of the day and ultimately changed Tinseltown forever as it led to the introduction of what would be known as The Hays Code. Taylor's story contains all the elements of a racy Hollywood plot; glamour, sex, drugs, betrayal, corruption, intrigue and, of course, murder.

Funded by the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland with the Television Licence Fee.
