Format:Audio CD
In the early 1980s, a radio station here in Winnipeg aired the two EarthSearch series. In true Canadian fashion, they aired the second series first. I was captivated by the story, and at the time I sent a letter to the BBC asking if this series could be purchased in any form. Getting a negative response from them, is tas in the late 1990's that I tracked down the cassettes the BBC sold of the series. Unfortunately, even this was somewhat edited. So when this particular series came out, I was basically praying that it would be unedited and sound as good to me now as it did back in the early eighties. I was not at all disappointed. The addition of some commentary from James Follett is a welcome bonus, and I am very grateful for this long-awaited CD release of a wonderful BBC series.

This program was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 as a ten part series in March of 1981. I heard it then as a child of 13 and it totally captivated me: The powerfull and mysterious characters of the Angels (computer control systems) and the four delightfull 3rd Generation crew of a 10 mile long survey star ship. I vividly remember the fantastic sound effects and great stereo (Angel 1 always on the left, Angel 2 always on the right). Like a previous reviewer I taped this when it was repeated in the autumn of 1981, but the tapes are now warn and faded. I can't wait to be captivated again as I was as a child and hope that my own children will discover the joys of a good radio play when they listen to these tapes. If you like BBC radio 4 type entertainment, buy these with confidence, and don't forget the sequel EarthSearch II!

A long overdue release for one of the best radio sci-fi series ever! Both series are here, and remastered too. A nice package which will keep me happy for weeks to come!
