Broadcast History: 18 May 1942 to 31 August 1950, 13 October 1950 to 24 September 1953 and 5 October 1953 to 29 November 1957

At first it was easy because of the war in Europe against the might of The Third Reich and The Pacific conflict taking place against the Japanese. The stories were based on Counter espionage which took place against both these nations.

Anything which gave the impression to the listening public that our spy network was better than either the German Gestapo or the Japanese Black Dragon organisation, be it based on truth or propaganda, was a good thing. It helped to keep the nation’s morale up at the top and that was very important.

When hostilities ceased in 1945 the storylines changed to cater for a peacetime outlook by government but nevertheless with a cautious look over the shoulder to keep abreast of changes of attitude by overseas governments wishing to know more about developments in the USA which we thought was none of their business.
