From 1946 to 1951, Dick Barton - Special Agent thrilled millions of listeners to the 麻豆社 Light Programme. The daily serial followed the exciting adventures of ex-commando Captain Richard Barton and his wartime mates Snowey and Jock, who solve all manner of intriguing crimes and mysteries.
Heralded by an iconic signature tune - Devil's Galop by Charles Williams - each gripping episode left listeners with a torrid cliff-hanger.
Sadly many of Dick's adventures didn't survive in the 麻豆社 Archive. But in 1972, as part of celebrations for the 麻豆社's Golden Jubilee, Dick's very first ten-part adventure by Edward J Mason was recreated, featuring many of the original performers.
