Escape

Broadcast History: 7 July 1947 to 25 September 1954
Theme Tune: ‘Night on Bald Mountain’ by Moussorgsky

Escape was widely considered radio’s greatest series of high adventure. The opening was usually along the same lines of “Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of … romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you … Escape!” You, the listener, are in the shoes of some embattled hero. You are alone and you must face the impossible, alone and rise to conquer or be conquered.
