Product Description Dick Barton is back, in a special live recording! Starring Tim Bentinck, Terry Molloy, and A Full Cast. [Includes nearly half an hour of exclusive behind-the-scenes material.] Heralded by an instantly memorable signature tune, the breathlessly exciting adventures of special agent Dick Barton, and his friends Jock and Snowey, were essential listening in post-war Britain. With its exciting world of criminal masterminds, espionage and adventure, they enthralled a generation. Dick's very last adventure was Dick Barton and the Trail of the Rocket, a stirring tale of kidnap, car-chases and espionage. Sadly however, like much of the original series, no complete recording survived in the BBC archives. Until now... In 2013, an entirely new production of this lost serial was mounted in the style of the original, using period recording equipment and the original scripts and music. It is the first new Dick Barton radio recording for over 40 years. Will Dick and his friends be able to thwart the villainous Streicher's plot for world domination?
