Product Description

Product Description
Charles Chilton's classic science fiction trilogy stormed the BBC airwaves during the 1950s. Its gripping story lines, extra-terrestrial sound effects and atmospheric music engaged the listener as never before. Between 1953 and 1958, a devoted audience of adults and children attentively followed Captain Jet Morgan and his crew from one cliff-hanger to another as, together, they faced the unknown perils of space. The complete first series has been remastered and restored, and is presented in a lavish CD box set for the first time, with beautiful full-colour packaging and an accompanying booklet detailing the series' development. This collector's edition features the complete series "Operation Luna", as well as the documentary "Another Journey Into Space" and an excerpt of rare footage from an otherwise lost episode. It is a must for fans of "Journey Into Space" and a true collector's item for all science fiction fans. In this second series, Captain Jet Morgan and his crew of Doc Matthews, engineer Mitch Mitchell and radio operator Lemmy Barnet are on board the flagship Discovery, leading a fleet of space ships, their mission to explore Mars, the mysterious and, as they believe, uninhabited red planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Radio Serial... ...ever!, 19 Feb 2005
I first heard Journey Into Space over 10 years ago when it was repeated on Friday nights on Radio 2.

It is by far the best piece of radio I think I have ever heard and cetainly better than a lot of current science fiction seen on TV.

I did buy the tape versions when they came out in 1989, and so I was slightly dubious about buying them again on CD. BUT I am so glad I did because I cannot recommend the CDs enough - they are THE best and MOST complete version available and it is clear that the BBC have given this set lots of love and attention. There are no crackles or hisses and all the bits edited out of the tape versions are present including Van Phillips' fantastic spacey music (the series wouldn't be the same without it!).

So do yourself a favour - BUY THIS NOW - you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars More entertaining than television or any film, 19 Jul 2000
I well remember listening to these BBC serials in the 50's and in all honesty they have lost absolutely nothing in entertainment value. The secret with these radio dramas is that the listener uses his OWN imagination to create the fantasy world- a world much more vivid and realistic by far than can ever be created visually on TV or film. I can't recommend these tapes enough! . Martin Kay

4.0 out of 5 stars A 50's BBC radio series - and still the best., 12 Jan 1999
By A Customer
The whole three title series has been digitally re-mastered and available both singley and as a superb boxed tape set. Excellant stories, presented in a time honoured manner,the tapes have the feel of those days when Britain was gripped by Journey into Space fever. This series still holds the British Radio audiences records, even after 40 years!! It is such a crying shame that the books just don't seem to be available now. Bring back these classics is my call - come on Pan books!!.
