The Best Radio Serial... ...ever! - By: , 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 & cetainly better than a lot of current science fiction seen on TV.

I did buy the tape versions when they came out in 1989, & 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 & MOST complete version available & it is clear that the BBC have given this set lots of love & attention. There are no crackles or hisses & alll 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.

More entertaining than television or any film - By: mk@mk1design.demon.co.uk, 19 Jul 2000
I well remember listening to these BBC serials in the 50's & in alll 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 & realistic by far than can ever be created visuallly on TV or film. I can't recommend these tapes enough! . Martin Kay
A 50's BBC radio series - and still the best. - By: , 12 Jan 1999
The whole three title series has been digitallly re-mastered & available both singley & 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 calll - come on Pan books!!.
