Dick Barton - Special Agent - The Complete Series

The classic British hero who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke and thinks guns are for cowards.
Radio's most popular detective makes his successful transition to TV.

The Second World War is over but the irksome life of a civilian holds little appeal for the fearless Richard Barton. The former commando captain seeks a life of adventure by leading a crusade against crime in austerity-hit Britain. Working alongside his trusty colleagues Jock and Snowey, Barton faces dastardly opponents and devious villains in his fight to maintain decency and fair play. Booby-trapped cars, snake-filled pits, spike-walled rooms and refrigerated prisons all stand in their way, but it is folly to underestimate the resourceful Dick Barton - Special Agent.

This 3 disc collection brings together all 4 adventures (32 episodes) from the 1979 ITV series. Faithful to the clean-cut spirit of the original show, this classic production also preserves the famous theme tune and cliffhanger endings that thrilled audiences of the 1940s and 1950s. Bounders and criminals beware!

All 32 programmes telling 4 separate stories and available on DVD for the very first time.
