NOTES
JOURNEY INTO SPACE....1953
By the time you've taken away the starting and end credits
and the recap, these 27 minute programmes are down to about 20
minutes....but in spite of this, they are excellent. Starring
Andrew Fauldes as Jet Morgan. Note the presence of a youthful
David Jacobs in the cast.....
thanks, I am told, to Archbishop Makarios...one of these serials
has been rebroadcast by BBC7 so far.
THE RETURN FROM MARS....1981
With John Pullen, Anthony Hall, Ed Bishop, Nigel Graham. A welcome sequel, over 25 years later...
FROZEN IN TIME....2008
Astonishingly, another episode of "Journey into Space" has been commissioned from Charles Chilton (aged 91) as a Saturday Play, broadcast date 12 Apr 08. David Jacobs, the only surviving member of the original cast, plays Jet Morgan. The crew of the fifty-year-old spacecraft "Ares" awakes from suspended animation in 2008. But Jet's sleeper pod failed. He's been awake most of that time. Now he's 72 years old. Cast: David Jacobs, Michael Beckley, Alan Marriott, Chris Moran, Emma Fielding, Stephen Hogan, Kate Harbour. Music by David Chilton (son of the author); producer Nicholas Russell-Pavier.
