Dr. Christian is a radio medical drama series with Jean Hersholt in the title role. It aired on the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS Radio network) from November 7, 1937 to January 6, 1954.Two years after the conclusion of the long-running radio program, the series was adapted for television on 1956 where it aired in syndication also through CBS on the Ziv Television production company until 1957, with a younger "Dr. Mark Christian" portrayed by Macdonald Carey as Dr. Paul's nephew.

Hersholt had earlier portrayed the character Dr. John Luke, based on the real-life Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, the Canadian obstetrician who delivered and cared for the famous Dionne Quintuplets children, in the 20th Century Fox studios movie The Country Doctor (1936) and its two sequels. He wanted to perform the same role on radio but could not get the rights. He decided then to create his character for a new radio program series and since he was also an enthusiast/fan of the Hans Christian Andersen collections of Danish fairy tales literature, he borrowed that name for his character of the thoughtful, reflective, philosophical character "Dr. Paul Christian".Copyright Radio Shows of the Past!
