Journey into Space: The Host (Classic Radio Sci-Fi) by Chilton, Charles (2011) Audio CD

by Charles Chilton

A further BBC Radio episode of the classic science fiction series created by Charles Chilton.

In this exciting adventure, Jet Morgan and his crew receive a distress call from an abandoned space freighter. But when they board the ship, Jet and Doc discover a digitised personality locked inside the ship’s computer - one with a deadly intent. The crew must find a way to defeat the vastly superior Host: for if they fail, they will not only all perish, but mankind will become a dispensable stepping stone to a new chapter in evolution…

Toby Stephens stars as Jet Morgan, with David Jacobs - who appeared in the original radio series - as the Host, Chris Pavlo as Mitch, Alan Marriott as Doc and Jot Davies as Lemmy.

Written by Julian Simpson. Original music and sound design by David Chilton. A Goldhawk Essential production for BBC Radio 4.
