Heralded by an iconic signature tune 鈥� Charles Williams鈥� 鈥楧evil's Galop鈥� 鈥� from 1946 to 1951, 鈥楧ick Barton - Special Agent鈥� thrilled millions of listeners on the 麻豆社 Light Programme. The daily serial followed the exciting adventures of ex-commando Captain Richard Barton and his wartime mates Snowey White and Jock Anderson, who solved all manner of intriguing crimes and mysteries, with each gripping episode ending in a torrid cliff-hanger.

Sadly, not many of Dick's adventures survive in the 麻豆社 archive. But in 1972 as part of celebrations for the 麻豆社's Golden Jubilee, the very first ten-part adventure by was recreated with many of the original cast.

Producer: Raymond Raikes

First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 2 in November 1972.
