The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells dramatised for radio by Terry James with Hywel Bennett as Bedford and William Rushton as Cavor.

This is the first play in an occasional series that follows the writing of science-fiction from the turn of the century to the present day.

July 1900: as a result of discovering a substance that defies gravity. Cavor, an idealistic man of science, finds himself with Bedford, a likeable young opportunist, in a sphere heading for the moon....

Two chaps on a beach, Haydn Wood and David Bradshawe
