Radio
After his return from the Antarctic, Carse began working in radio for the BBC. He was a presenter and announcer from 1939 through 1942, when he rejoined the Royal Navy for service in the Second World War. After the end of the war, he returned to radio, and in 1949 secured his best-known role: he was the voice of Special Agent Dick Barton for 265 of the 711 episodes of the very popular BBC Radio serial. He continued in this role until leaving for the South Georgia Survey in 1951. Carse worked as a presenter through the mid-1980s, and participated in producing BBC documentaries about South Georgia and the Antarctic.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:
“Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
“Having a thirteen-year-old in the family is like having a general-admission ticket to the movies, radio and TV. You get to understand that the glittering new arts of our civilization are directed to the teen-agers, and by their suffrage they stand or fall.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)
“Now they can do the radio in so many languages that nobody any longer dreams of a single language, and there should not any longer be dreams of conquest because the globe is all one, anybody can hear everything and everybody can hear the same thing, so what is the use of conquering.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
