Earthsearch: 1: Planetfall

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A new ten-part adventure serial in time and space by James Follett.
The starship Challenger has been on a 115-year-long mission exploring other galaxies for suitable Earth-like planets to colonise. The present crew of four were born on the Challenger and have never left it. From birth they have been looked after by two 'Angels' - voices that surround them and guide their every move. The crew follows their advice without question. A dangerous situation, perhaps, if the 'Angels' are not all that their names imply.
(At the time of recording, all the cast were members of the BBC Radio Drama Company)
