Journey Into Space - The Return to Mars

BBC Radio Collection - Dramatisation : Fiction & Drama - Contains 2 Cassettes - Running Time 2 Hours approx.

The final, classic science fiction adventure with Jet Morgan and his crew, together with a special feature about Charles Chilton's popular 1950s series.

It's an ordinary afternoon at London Landing Control. Suddenly, a voice breaks across another aircraft's frequency : 'This is the spaceship Discovery'. To the controller's astonishment, Captain Jet Morgan and his crew are re-entering the Earth's atmosphere - more than thirty years after they have gone missing, presumed dead. So what has happened to the crew during those years! Why didn't they return straight to Earth after stopping the Martian invasion?

Well, says Jet, consulting his diary, about eight months later they managed to escape the asteroid where they were prisoners. And that's when it all started to go wrong ...

Jet and the crew's thrilling adventure is paired with a special half hour feature Journey Into Space ... Again. With the help of several excerpts from the original crew's first mission, Charles Chilton, Andrew Faulds and David Jacobs look back at the phenomenally successful Journey Into Space, the last drama series to beat television in the ratings.
