Does anyone remember this ...

. JOURNEY INTO SPACE

Radio series in the 1950s - on the BBC Home Service! It was my dad's favourate radio programme and woe betide anyone who interrupted.

Starring:-
Andrew Faulds as Captain Andrew (Jet) Morgan

Guy Kingsley Poynter as Doctor Daniel (Doc) Matthews

Bruce Beeby}
Don Sharp} all played Stephen (Mitch) Mitchell in various episodes
David Williams}

David Kossoff as Lemuel (Lemmy) Barnet in series 2
Alfie Bass as Lemmy in series 1 and 3

David Jacobs as just about everybody else - including the announcer.

I have it all on disc - and still love listening to it - although some of it is a bit dated now e.g, meals consisting of orange juice and vacuum packed sandwiches, or Lemmy not realising about weightlessness! It is still good fun.

I remember it, but had never realised so many members of the cast went on to become, if not famous better known.

I vguely remember it too Tabby. Didn't they used to say "Journey into Space" slowly, in a funny echo-ey sort of voice?

Good grief that takes me back, it was my favourite programmes as a child, I vaguely remember another called The Man in Black?
