Product Description
Product Description
This is a brand new BBC Radio 4 sequel to Charles Chilton's iconic radio sci-fi series. Between 1953 and 1958, "Journey Into Space" attracted millions of listeners, gripped by the mystery and promise of space exploration in weekly cliffhanging instalments. In this thrilling new episode, the spaceship Ares has been heading back to Earth for 30 years, with the crew in suspended animation - except Captain Jet Morgan, whose sleeper pod failed. With the ship six months from home, Jet picks up an SOS from Mars, and wakes the others to go on a rescue mission. But when our heroes meet up with the stranded crew it becomes apparent that all is not what it first appeared. Unwittingly caught up in seismic deception, it is not only the lives of the Ares crew which are at stake - the entire future of planet Earth could be in peril...David Jacobs - from the original radio series - stars as Jet Morgan, with Michael Beckley as Mitch, Alan Marriott as Doc and Chris Moran as Lemmy.

I am a big fan of the Journey Into Space trilogy. I have both the CD box sets of Operation Luna & The Red Planet (as well as the World in Peril downloaded). I believe this new CD "Frozen In Time", is a great addition to the series. I love the "David Chilton" music that just flows so nicely in the background. It's a shame that there wasn't a second CD with just the soundtrack... In addition, I thought the cast came accross very well. David Jacobs does a great job as Jet Morgan as well as all the other members of the cast. Since the story took place on Mars, I very surprised to hear just a little reference to their last visit to the Red Planet (from Doc) and no mention at all of the martians they ecountered, but I guess this is a brand new story and it stands very well on it's own. They have also left the ending open, perhaps for another episode??... One last comment - When Doc wakes up from his 30 year sleep, and everyone is happy that he is alive and well, that sounds to me as if it is the voice of Andrew Foulds shouting "DOC" excitedly. Just listen closely.

Mist of Time is absolutely right. The glowing review above simply must have been written by a BBC rep. This show was nothing short of insulting. Rambling plot that was full of holes. Absolutely amateur writing with feeble attempts at suspense forced in here and there. None of it made sense. It had no gloss, no shine, no charisma. Just awful.
As a modern sci-fi piece for radio it was abysmal but to try to make it a journey into space show was just insulting. The characters were journey into space characters in name only, they didn't sound, act, talk or feel like the original characters.
Frankly this show was nothing short of an insult, a poor attempt to make some money from a 60 year old show by tacking it's name onto another shoddy bbc product.

Having listened to this last year on Radio 7 I have to disagree with the reviewer given this such glowing reviews. Yes it is a a sequel to a classic and well made (as such) but the plotting is diabolical. Random playing with history / flow of time and the inane way that characters mildly gloss over the most astonishing inconsistencies or amazing events is beyond belief.
Wait for the repeat on the radio before investing any money in this disappointment
