This is a 13-episode serial. Begin with Episode 1 or you’ll be confused as the story progresses. Journey to the Moon/Operation Luna Initially, the first series was simply known as Journey into Space, with the subtitle A Tale of the Future added by the Radio Times, but within the BBC it became known as Journey to the Moon. The series was set in 1965 (the year in which Chilton believed humans would first walk on the Moon), and was first broadcast in 1953–1954 on the BBC Light Program. The series was originally intended to have 12 episodes (one source claims 8 episodes), and 5.1 million people tuned into the first episode, but the first four episodes (which took place on Earth) did not prove very popular, and the audience soon shrank to fewer than 4 million. But once the rocket set off for the Moon in episode 5, the audience reaction was much more favorable. The series was extended to 18 episodes, and by the time the final episode was broadcast, 8 million people were tuning in. In 1958, Journey to the Moon was re-recorded for the BBC Transcription Services (retitled as Operation Luna), because the original recordings had been erased. The first four episodes of the original series were omitted, and episodes 12 and 13 were merged into a single episode. Today, the only surviving recording from the original 1953 series Journey to the Moon is a 5-minute excerpt from the final episode. Faulds, Kingsley Poynter, and Deryck Guyler were the only actors from Journey to the Moon to reprise their roles in Operation Luna. In addition to the main characters, other characters in Journey to the Moon included: Actor Character Wilfred Walter - Sir William Morgan Robert Perceval - Mackenzie Deryck Guyler - The Time-Traveler ("The Voice") David Jacobs - Miscellaneous characters John Cazabon - Earth Control Alan Keith (*) - London correspondent Duncan McIntyre - Jet's great uncle, Hector Mark Baker Errol McKinnon Jessica Dunning Wyndham Milligan (*) Alan Keith (born Alec Kossoff) was the brother of David Kossoff, who played Lemmy. Chilton wrote episode 8 of Journey to the Moon in response to a challenge from a TV producer, who considered the success of the series to be "a fluke". The producer challenged Chilton to write an episode "that could not be played equally well on television", and Chilton succeeded – a large proportion of the episode takes place in total darkness. During the episode, Jet reads to the rest of the crew by torchlight from The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells, the only work of fiction carried on board the ship. Andrew Faulds's adopted uncle, Hector MacPherson, was an astronomer, and wrote a book called Practical Astronomy. Chilton bought a copy of the book, which first sparked his interest in astronomy, and later led him to write Journey into Space. In episode 7 of Journey to the Moon, Jet's childhood flashback features his great uncle Hector, who was based on Hector MacPherson. In November 1957, Chilton wrote an episode of the BBC School Radio science series Our Own and Other Worlds, titled "A Trip to the Moon", which featured edited material from episodes 5 and 6 of Journey to the Moon.

Faulds, Kingsley Poynter, and Deryck Guyler were the only actors from Journey to the Moon to reprise their roles in Operation Luna. In addition to the main characters, other characters in Journey to the Moon included: Actor Character Wilfred Walter - Sir William Morgan Robert Perceval - Mackenzie Deryck Guyler - The Time-Traveler ("The Voice") David Jacobs - Miscellaneous characters John Cazabon - Earth Control Alan Keith (*) - London correspondent Duncan McIntyre - Jet's great uncle, Hector Mark Baker Errol McKinnon Jessica Dunning Wyndham Milligan (*) Alan Keith (born Alec Kossoff) was the brother of David Kossoff, who played Lemmy. Chilton wrote episode 8 of Journey to the Moon in response to a challenge from a TV producer, who considered the success of the series to be "a fluke". The producer challenged Chilton to write an episode "that could not be played equally well on television", and Chilton succeeded – a large proportion of the episode takes place in total darkness. During the episode, Jet reads to the rest of the crew by torchlight from The First Men in the Moon by H. G. Wells, the only work of fiction carried on board the ship. Andrew Faulds's adopted uncle, Hector MacPherson, was an astronomer, and wrote a book called Practical Astronomy. Chilton bought a copy of the book, which first sparked his interest in astronomy, and later led him to write Journey into Space. In episode 7 of Journey to the Moon, Jet's childhood flashback features his great uncle Hector, who was based on Hector MacPherson. In November 1957, Chilton wrote an episode of the BBC School Radio science series Our Own and Other Worlds, titled "A Trip to the Moon", which featured edited material from episodes 5 and 6 of Journey to the Moon. The table below indicates the correspondence between the episodes of Journey to the Moon and Operation Luna. Journey to the Moon Operation Luna Brief plot summary Episode First broadcast Episode First broadcast 21 Sep 1953.

This is a 13-episode serial. Begin with Episode 1 or you’ll be confused as the story progresses. Journey to the Moon/Operation Luna Initially, the first series was simply known as Journey into Space, with the subtitle A Tale of the Future added by the Radio Times, but within the BBC it became known as Journey to the Moon. The series was set in 1965 (the year in which Chilton believed humans would first walk on the Moon), and was first broadcast in 1953–1954 on the BBC Light Program. The series was originally intended to have 12 episodes (one source claims 8 episodes), and 5.1 million people tuned into the first episode, but the first four episodes (which took place on Earth) did not prove very popular, and the audience soon shrank to fewer than 4 million. But once the rocket set off for the Moon in episode 5, the audience reaction was much more favorable. The series was extended to 18 episodes, and by the time the final episode was broadcast, 8 million people were tuning in. In 1958, Journey to the Moon was re-recorded for the BBC Transcription Services (retitled as Operation Luna), because the original recordings had been erased. The first four episodes of the original series were omitted, and episodes 12 and 13 were merged into a single episode.

Space Force is a BBC Radio science fiction serial, broadcast from 4 April 1984 to 17 June 1985. Written by Charles Chilton, it was originally intended to be a sequel to his Journey into Space series (broadcast in the 1950s), using the cast which had just made a one-off revival of that series ("The Return From Mars"); while this idea was dropped late in the development of the serial, the four characters are nevertheless essentially the same as those from the earlier series, albeit with different names. The first series begins during the northern summer of 2010. Both series seem to initially mirror the first two Journey Into Space stories before branching off into quite different plots. A second series, known as Space Force 2, featured the same main characters, once again played by Barry Foster, Nigel Stock, Nicky Henson, and Tony Osoba. Within both series, Space Force is the name of the team's spaceship, rather than the name of an organization. Each episode had an approximate run-time of 30 minutes. First series The episodes of the first series, broadcast in 1984, were: 1. "The Voice from Nowhere" (4 April 1984) 2. "Towards the Unknown" (11 April 1984) 3. "The Silver Strangers" (18 April 1984) 4. "The Time Ship" (25 April 1984) 5. "Threshold of the Stars" (2 May 1984) 6. "Marooned in Space" (9 May 1984) Second series The episodes of the second series, broadcast in 1985, were: 1. "The Return of the Sun God" (13 May 1985) 2. "The Red Planet" (20 May 1985) 3. "The Great Martian Pyramid" (27 May 1985) 4. "A Test of Endurance" (3 June 1985) 5. "Living with Death" (10 June 1985) 6. "Unto Death – And Beyond" (17 June 1985)

Space Force is a BBC Radio science fiction serial, broadcast from 4 April 1984 to 17 June 1985. Written by Charles Chilton, it was originally intended to be a sequel to his Journey into Space series (broadcast in the 1950s), using the cast which had just made a one-off revival of that series ("The Return From Mars"); while this idea was dropped late in the development of the serial, the four characters are nevertheless essentially the same as those from the earlier series, albeit with different names. The first series begins during the northern summer of 2010. Both series seem to initially mirror the first two Journey Into Space stories before branching off into quite different plots. A second series, known as Space Force 2, featured the same main characters, once again played by Barry Foster, Nigel Stock, Nicky Henson, and Tony Osoba. Within both series, Space Force is the name of the team's spaceship, rather than the name of an organization. Each episode had an approximate run-time of 30 minutes.

The Return from Mars In 1981, Radio 4's Saturday Night Theatre slot ran a special science fiction series, featuring stories such as The First Men in the Moon, The Chrysalids, A Fall of Moondust and The Technicolor Time Machine. Charles Chilton was asked to write a new one-off 90-minute episode of Journey into Space for this slot, and The Return from Mars was the result. The plot was an approximate continuation from the end of The World in Peril. The episode was broadcast on 7 March 1981. In addition to the main characters, other characters in The Return from Mars included: Actor Character(s) Elizabeth Proud Cassia Patrick Barr Nichols David Bradshawe Wrist radio / Countdown voice Graham Faulkner Pilot / Talian Stephen Garlick Controller / Radio voice John McAndrew Videophone / Junior officer Sion Probert Control / Sotteer 2 Christopher Scott Sotteer 1 / Harry John Webb Supervisor / Radio Episode First broadcast Brief plot summary 7 Mar 1981 Jet Morgan and his crew return to Earth from Mars, only to find they have been missing, presumed dead, for more than thirty years.

FROZEN in TIME This was a new episode based on the original series, with David Jacobs finally taking the role of Jet Morgan (who has aged while the rest of his crew were in suspended animation owing to a systems malfunction). Charles Chilton wrote the one-hour play which was set in the year 2013. March 2013. The Ares' crew awakens from suspended animation and, low on fuel and technologically outclassed, goes to rescue a mining operation on Mars. Cast: Captain Jet Morgan ... David Jacobs Mitch ... Michael Beckley Doc/Ed ... Alan Marriott Lemmy ... Chris Moran Astrid ... Emma Fielding Jensen ... Stephen Hogan Radio Operator/Film Voice ... Kate Harbour

THE HOST In this latest exciting adventure, Jet Morgan and his crew receive a distress call from an abandoned space freighter. But when they board the ship, Jet and Doc discover a digitized personality locked inside the ship's computer - one with a deadly intent. The crew must find a way to defeat the vastly superior Host: for if they fail, they will not only all perish, but mankind will become a dispensable steppingstone to a new chapter in evolution... Between 1953 and 1958, Journey into Space attracted millions of listeners, gripped by the mystery and promise of space exploration in weekly cliffhanging instalments. Toby Stephens stars as Jet Morgan, with David Jacobs - who appeared in the original radio series - as the Host, Chris Pavlo as Mitch, Alan Marriott as Doc and Jot Davies as Lemmy. The writer is Julian Simpson. Also included are 10 minutes of behind-the-scenes out-takes from the radio recording.
