Another fine old science fiction radio drama from the BBC over at the internet archive.
Set in the far flung future of 1965! this is classic 50s radio science fiction at it’s best. I love the innocence, paranoia and sheer hope and enthusiasm in future technology that can be found in 50s science fiction.
You can find [...]
John Wyndham’s post-apocalyptic novel “Day of the Triffids” was the book that made his name and it is still worth a read.

The story is very much of its time but that’s no bad thing. It’s cracking, [...]

It’s fantastic science fiction-thriller-horror stuff, read very well by the author himself. The story moves pretty swiftly and it’s chock [...]
