Edmund Conquest and the Pirates of the Barbary Coast is a 1947 Australian radio serial. It aired Monday to Thursday nights.[1]

The serial was the idea of producer Paul Jacklin. He had visited the US to research broadcasting trends, noticed several shows revolved around "sex and sadism" and decided to make something similar in Australia. He hired writer Kathleen Carroll to script the series. It was the first serial leading role for Leonard Thiele and the first serial written by Carroll.[2]

The serial played again in 1953.[3]

Premise

Sccording to ABC Weekly "Edmund Conquest, an Englishman, sets out with his servant, Jeremy, to find adventure, and, sailing through the Mediterranean, they are captured by Barbarossa, king of the Barbary Coast pirates. Conquest finds all the adventure he wants—the love of a beautiful Algerian princess, wars in the bleak mountains behind Algiers, hairsbreadth escapes from death. "[3]

Cast

  • Leonard Thiele as Conquest
  • Muriel Steinbeck as Yasmin [4]

Reception

Smith's Weekly called it "a curious little serial containing the most impresive opening theme-music, the most interesting situations, and the most uncomfortable, dialogue I have heard for many a month."[5]
