Heralded by an iconic signature tune – Charles Williams’ ‘Devil's Galop’ – from 1946 to 1951, ‘Dick Barton - Special Agent’ thrilled millions of listeners on the BBC 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 BBC archive. But in 1972 as part of celebrations for the BBC's Golden Jubilee, the very first ten-part adventure by was recreated with many of the original cast.
