I bought the first two installments of Journey Into Space when they were first released on CD almost a decade ago, and then like everyone else was left hanging and disappointed when the BBC decided not to release the final set on CD, but only as a download at over twice the price! They also discontinued the first two boxed sets pretty quickly, so I was lucky to get copies. As I already had the first two, this is the only set I bought. It's great to finally have it on CD, but like others have reported on the earlier sets, the stacked packaging is lousy in comparison to the earlier original releases, which came in boxed sets with individual sleeves for each disk, not to mention a booklet and a poster. With the new sets in order to get to the CDs underneath, you have to awkwardly juggle the CDs above and try not to drop them with one hand while getting the one you want with the other, then put the other ones back without having them slide all over the place. Not so ealily done. The post holding the CDs in place also precludes the possibility of having a booklet included as there is no way to fit it in the package, which is probably the reason why there isn't one other than a PDF file. The labeling on the CDs themselves is also prettly lacking, giving only the name of the serial and that it is part three of a trilogy. Sure, it's not difficult to figure out that if you have twenty half hour episodes plus a nintey minute sequel, the first ten CDs are going to have two episodes each and the last two the sequel split over them, but would it have hurt to put what is actually on each disk on the labels? Worst of all is the fact that although it is prominently advertized on both the back of the package and in the PDF booklet, "Another Journey Into Space" is NOT included in the set. Oh, there's a space made for it on disk 12, which is where it was SUPPOSED to go, with the 90 minute "The Return From Mars" being split up with 60 minutes on disk 11 and the remaining 30 minutes on disk 12, leaving the last 30 minutes for "Another Journey Into Space". The trouble is they never bothered to actually put it on the disk! So while it's great to finally have the last installment of the original series on CD, the packaging and omission of a an advertized feature is pretty sloppy on the part of both the BBC and AudiGo.

We've waited years for this and now we've got 'The World In Peril' and 'The Return From Mars'. So far so good. But where is the advertised extra feature? Also the announcement at the start of Episode 11 is 'clipped' so it begins with David Jacobs saying " 'ney Into Space ". At least this happens on my copy. When this series is broadcast on Radio 7 or Radio 4 Extra we don't get this bit cut off. Come on BBC, how long do you need to get it right? Let's hope that the 'corrected' version addresses these issues. I think that this sloppy effort only deserves one star. The 'corrected' one could merit five.

This is a good box set well recorded a good job by the BBC all three box sets are good Journey Into Space and the red planet.All CDS arrived in good time, I like the packaging of these box sets very nicely done. If you like the other journey into space you will like this one.
