Journey Into Space
April 19th, 2008 by Russell DaviesJourney Into Space was the original BBC sci-fi series, a hit on the radio in the fifties, running eventually to over 60 shows. It’s also been a late night stalwart for BBC 7, always there for the lonely insomniac, making for dreams populated by theremin and booster rockets. The Saturday play last week was a specially written new episode, taking the story 30 years forward, into 2013. David Jacobs is splendid as Jet Morgan, he somehow has exactly the right voice for someone who’s been entirely alone in a spaceship for thirty years and is perfectly fine with it. MP3 here.
