In 1946, Edward J Mason wrote the first episode of Dick Barton - Special Agent. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Light Programme's hugely popular serial followed the adventures of the ex-Commando and his mates Jock Anderson and Snowy White. Despite facing a series of never-ending cliff-hangers at the hands of dastardly villains, our hero always triumphed. "With one bound Dick was free!".

Half a century later, Edward J's son Lol created Richard Barton, son of Dick, in an affectionate homage to one of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio's most enduring heroes.

Producer: Jo Clegg

First broadcast on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in May 1998.
