Cactus: Buy The Month (March 2019)
|
|
|
|
Does Cactus pre-empt political and social events, or report on them?

Occasionally it’s hard to determine if Cactus has prompted events in
|
|
parliament, or if the pollies have become caricatures of themselves…

Fun, Fact, Frivolous or Fiction…
this month focusing on Spies and Espionage on Radio
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. A very popular genre – whether it be modern, cold-war or even historical - a good ‘cloak and dagger’ story always works well.
|
|
2. A genre that works extremely well with the medium of radio – all those word pictures, voice inflections and sound effects create vivid mind pictures.
|
|
3. The images represented in these radio series mean that each individual listener creates their own mind pictures – rather than images created by someone else.
|
|
4. Traditionally these series were broadcast later in the evening (so that the children didn’t go to bed and have nightmares).
|
|
5. The Adventures of Major Gregory Keen (the first of which is Dossier on Dumetrius) was one of the first post-war espionage series. Its outstanding success meant the follow-on adventure (Deadly Nightshade) was commissioned almost immediately. There are five adventures in the series.
|
|
6. Long regarded as a forerunner to the James Bond franchise, The Adventures of Major
|
|
Gregory Keen were penned by Lindsay Hardy – who had met and mixed with some of the
|
|
inspirations for his characters when he was in London.
|
|
7. Other popular titles in this genre include A Mask For Alexis, Goodbye Gwynnevere, The Red Gardenia and Undercover.
|
|
8. We also have a series titled I, Spy in which each episode is a self-contained story –
|
|
supposedly a true story – in which a person or event is detailed.
|
|
9. As the behaviour of spies and commandos necessarily involves an element of crime – these stories are usually categorised as ‘Crime & Mystery’. Who are we to draw a line on what is crime and what is espionage???
|
|
10. We’ve been told on more than one occasion - that people who listen to these stories in their cars have stayed in their cars after they’ve reached their destination…because they ‘have’ to hear what happens next!
