Journey into Space, series 3: World in Peril [Complete story]

[@cliffkeeys]

I recall listening to ‘Journey into Space’ for the first time as a school boy in the 1950’s. Lots of memories. Very dated but that makes it better!

[@journeyintospacefans]

It certainly records a fixed moment in time. But is still a great story. I'm glad you've found it here again.

[@dumptonpark]

Cor you must be older than time itself. Only joking great radio love em all. 🍪☕

[@barrydevonshire9749]

My favourite listening for a long boring flight. The imagery is different to us than the people when it was originally broadcast. That makes it so good 😊

[@sailorsquatandhisseaman]

That is a very interesting statement relating to imagery! I suppose the different times in which one grew up, not having the history of certain things or of new things, would very much reflect on the way one imagines these dramas. I’d like to hear you expound on your thoughts!

[@journeyintospacefans]

That's an interesting thought. I suppose the imagery depends on your background and events that shaped your life. Very much different listening today than in the 60s

[@Psymon-F-C]

This is superb! I have heard the first 2 series a few times, and never knew this series even existed... and 8 hours of blissfull journeying throught Space with 'Jet' Morgan and Crew.... Being a total lover of Science Fiction/Faction this story is right up my Audio Alley, so to speak. Many thanks for the editing you must have completed. A fairly daunting task to begin with I'd imagine. 💫👽👽👽💜

[@journeyintospacefans]

It was pretty daunting, but I've always wanted to hear the story without the breaks. It was worth the effort. I'm pleased you're enjoying them.

[@glamladwales7056]

2 modern ones too

[@markgriffin2928]

Fantastic, absolutely fantastic,,,, listen to them over and over again. Classic sci fi at its best. Thank you.

[@journeyintospacefans]

Glad you enjoyed. They are great, aren't they 😊

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

It's a great series. It was first repeated in the late 80s'. I don't know how many times I've listened to it since.

[@journeyintospacefans]

Me too. I love it! Thanks for listening

[@jondenmark9577]

Great work brilliant listening material in a dark room you can imagine your there with them while drifting of to sleep

[@journeyintospacefans]

Absolutely you can. Thanks for listening

[@jeremybear573]

Definitely one of the absolute best produced OTR shows ever!

[@journeyintospacefans]

It's a cracking series, isn't it. Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@deanallencovey332]

I think that I heard some of those broadcasts on short wave in the mid 50's when my family was stationed in the Phillipines. I loved them then when I was in 3rd grade and waited eagerly each week for the next episode. So great to hear them now as a single recording.

[@journeyintospacefans]

That's great to hear. I'm pleased you're enjoying them. Since first hearing them, I'd always wanted to create a single recording of them all, so I could get lost in the story, without realising I'd hit the end of another episode.

[@RhysOlwyn]

When I pressed play on this video I just had to say "Contact!"

[@journeyintospacefans]

😁

[@matthewhayes3969]

I had to look it up. "contact" was shouted by pilots of old propeller planes when they turned on the magnetos, to warn the guy who spun the blades. It became the standard phrase when starting engines.

Ahh, I remember those Saturday nights on the radio, Jet, Doc, Mitch and Lenny.... I was eight years old !

Awesome. It's good to re-listen to radio from your youth. I hope you're enjoying it

Absolutely fantastic! I love these episodes so much

[@journeyintospacefans]

This is my favourite series out of them all

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Fantastic foresight in this series and it's a shame nobody paid attention to the message. Thanks for uploading these brilliant series👍😎Pete 🤓

[@journeyintospacefans]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tango6nf477]

It is astounding that this series of stories was written nearly 70 years ago by Charles Chiltern who's imagination was inspirational and so advanced for that time. .

[@journeyintospacefans]

Absolutely. He did however also have friends in the space industry that he took advice from, regarding technology and potential dates for moon landings, etc, which gave the stories an air of realism, which is remarkable that the stories still hold up today.

[@kadiummusic]

Don't forget it was written not long we 'supposedly' played golf on the moon. 😎

[@journeyintospacefans]

@@kadiummusic Yes. The first series came out before we went to the moon. Charles Chiltern spoke with a scientist friend of his to try to make it as realistic as possible.

[@simonmcgrath4112]

Sublime in literally every way. I never knew there was a 3rd series hey who knows there may be a 4th but maybe I'm being greedy?! All the best to u lovely one and all.

[@journeyintospacefans]

;-) There is. And I've a few other related stories yet to edit and upload.

[@crowsandravens8998]

LOVE this! And not bombarded with ads!

[@Ben_Gunner]

OMG!! This is going to be my snoozing audio listening for weeks from now. Brilliant 🔥🚀

Enjoy, my friend

Love this terrific series 😮❤🎉

[@mikeylewis7467]

I love these although they're way before my time! They are gripping and enjoyable. The only thing that bugs me is the fact i can't visualise, so im jealous of all of you non aphantsics !

[@rAndomlight1069]

"Cut the cackle" . I'm pretty sure there were occasions when the other crew members were tempted to jetison Lemmy from the ship. 😂

[@journeyintospacefans]

"Shut up Lemmy!"

[@nickread2833]

Many thanks,great stuff!!!

[@thorvaldrhysbjrnson8720]

I can’t help but think that if “intelligent life” does exist somewhere in the universe - they have observed us for long enough to know it is best if they never reveal themselves to us… Any alien would learn from their observations of how humans behave towards each other that they wouldn’t receive a warm welcome should they make themselves known to us!

[@journeyintospacefans]

And that is the ultimate question! Are they there? Have they seen us yet?

[@obi-ron]

The politicians would welcome them with open arms as distraction for the trouble they don't want to deal with, and open wallets too.

[@WilmerCook]

Go Lemmy you can do it!

[@journeyintospacefans]

I do hope so 🤞

[@emer67]

Loved it ...really enjoyable

[@journeyintospacefans]

So glad!

[@skylongskylong1982]

Great. Any chance of the 1980 , 90 minute play Return To Mars. Are there any episodes of Dan Dare from the Luxberge radio show of the fifties ?

[@journeyintospacefans]

I'll have a check for the Return to Mars. I don't think I'll be adding any Dan Dare.

I suppose a few stern people will never get Lemmy.

He's a character. That's for sure.

[@glamladwales7056]

Amazing thanks

[@journeyintospacefans]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mikec63136]

Wow. The final hour reveal after 2 seasons.

[@journeyintospacefans]

Absolutely 😀

[@mikec63136]

@@journeyintospacefans I thought at the end of the 2nd season it was either going to be the benevolent time travelling aliens at a different point in their timeline where they had become (or used to be) hostile or that it was humans from the future (perhaps criminals or a deposed dictator) who had traveled back in time.

[@journeyintospacefans]

Both great ideas. I love how the ending has kept everyone guessing. Glad you enjoyed the series 😃

[@WilmerCook]

It's Whittaker again!

[@journeyintospacefans]

Whittaker !

[@ThatRandomGuy101]

Damn I wish this series went on with the same story and voice actors

[@journeyintospacefans]

Absolutely

[@barrydevonshire9749]

My point is that my images are influenced by 1970s Dr who whereas the 1950s listeners where influenced by the early sci-fi movies. And isn't amazing a lot has come to be real . Series like the original Star Trek so far ahead of its time. As they say the pictures are bretter on the radio😊

[@journeyintospacefans]

They always are, because we all have our own "correct" way to view the audio.

[@ralphriel5171]

I missed the part where the team found Biden up there shearing those sheep

[@journeyintospacefans]

There's bound to be more humans helping with the sheep. Who knows who's up there

[@Ubique2927]

Lemmy. The thickest astronaut ever. I keep wishing that he would.....

[@journeyintospacefans]

He's not really an astronaut first and foremost. He's been taken for his electronics skills; to operate the radio and repair it, which he does!

[@sharonread7674]

I feel that Lemmy represents the class system of the time that this was written. Those in charge, upper class with upper class accents and those like Lemmy with his feisty London character representing the working class. Loyally following his superiors orders. Except for those of the Martians that is. 😱

[@zosia5897]

​@sharonread7674my analysis exactly! I think iwas aware of it even wi first listened aged 7. I.e. 70 yèrs ago. Well possibly!
