Charles Chilton's classic science fiction trilogy stormed the BBC airwaves during the 1950s. Its gripping story lines, extra-terrestrial sound effects and atmospheric music engaged the listener as never before. Between 1953 and 1958, a devoted audience of adults and children attentively followed Captain Jet Morgan and his crew from one cliff-hanger to another as, together, they faced the unknown perils of space. The complete first series has been remastered and restored, and is presented in a lavish CD box set for the first time, with beautiful full-colour packaging and an accompanying booklet detailing the series' development. This collector's edition features the complete series "Operation Luna", as well as the documentary "Another Journey Into Space" and an excerpt of rare footage from an otherwise lost episode. It is a must for fans of "Journey Into Space" and a true collector's item for all science fiction fans.
In this second series, Captain Jet Morgan and his crew of Doc Matthews, engineer Mitch Mitchell and radio operator Lemmy Barnet are on board the flagship Discovery, leading a fleet of space ships, their mission to explore Mars, the mysterious and, as they believe, uninhabited red planet.
