Joanna Lumley narrates an affectionate tribute to the science fiction films of the 50s. The fascinating story behind some of the most impressive science fiction films ever made is told with extracts from such classics as War of the Worlds, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet and Quatermass II.
For the first time on any earth radio, the programme brings you the sounds and thrills of travelling in outer space, meeting bug-eyed monsters and visiting alien worlds.
