Some explorers believe that it is historical fact and that the ark still rests on Mount Ararat. Anne Macnamara traces the history of their explorations over the centuries to the present day.

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)
