'Judging by Tony Blair's remarks about the beleagured state of the nation,
Britain is in urgent need of a hero.  Step forward Special Agent Dick Barton,
the square-jawed, stiff-upper-lipped radio adventurer and radio star
in these musical spoofs at the expense of jingoism, snobbery & the BBC'
The Times Jan 03

"The show's creators...have come up
with several Christmas crackers
(and) an ingenious plot with more
twists and turns than an exhibitionist
boa-constrictor" Evening Standard 23 Dec
"The gags come thick and fast"
Sunday Telegraph 4 Jan
"Graham Kent is superb as the villainous Baron, George Asprey is suitably square-jawed and decent as Dick, William Oxborrow and Darrell Brockis as Snowy and Jock repectively are great fun and Vicki Simon slinks sexily as the dark-eyed Topevia.
Kit Benjamin adeptly plays the stiffly starched BBC Announcer as well as a variety of bizarre cameos" The Times 8 Jan
"Top-hole entertainment"
Time Out Dec 16 Dec

"With endless gags delivered by a cast of six actors who also play
a couple of dozen characters between them
plus an amazing range of musical instruments,
the evening jollies along at an hilarious pace
that would get even James Bond shaken and stirred"
