This looks interesting !

Well spotted Mikey. It will have to be good to compete with Jeff Wayne's version and the spine tingling commentary by Richard Burton.

Zacs....apparently its Mars week on Radio Four, all week !

In a strange 'development' there are plans for us to take over the red planet:

Zacs....I was listening to the Today Program a few mins ago, and apparently NASA has a long list of people who have volunteered for a one-way trip to Mars, in about 20-odd years time.

A one-way trip note !

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm.

Zacs....on a slightly different note, a quote of Kingsley Amis comes to mind:::::

"I wouldn't mind going to China, as long as I could be home in time for tea"

[Zacs-Master]

I was just pondering which ABers I'd like to be on a one way trip to Mars. ;-)

[mikey4444]

AOG springs to mind.....not ! ( tic AOG ! )

[Zacs-Master]

Now now Mikey. No names, no pack drill.

[Zacs-Master]

I wonder how many people would have been convinced in this day and age if they'd broadcast it unannounced like they did first time around?

[Zacs-Master]

I think some people might have missed the first few seconds jno ;-)

the British are more likely to believe in UFOs than in God, though I would have thought the evidence for both was about equally plausible/implausible, according to taste

Is this a musical version? I love Jeff Wane’s War Of The Worlds.
Or is it the book being read/acted out?
