Dimension X: The Martian Chronicles

4 Extra Debut. 1950: Humanity's encounter with Red Planet citizens in 1999 sparks serious repercussions in Ray Bradbury's space thriller.

Ohio, January, 1999: Humanity's encounter with the citizens of the Red Planet sparks serious repercussions for both sides.

Stars Ian Martin and Jan Miner.

Ray Bradbury's space thriller 'The Martian Chronicles' is now considered a sci-fi classic, from a decade when it was a relatively new literary event. As much about life on Earth as it is about matters extra-terrestrial, Bradbury's dramatised novel charts a series of encounters between the first colonists to arrive on Mars and their gentle, telepathic natives.

One of a series of selected shows from the golden days of American radio in the 1940s and 50s, when many of Hollywood's greatest screen stars were regular performers - often re-enacting their famous film roles.

Music: Alfred Buhrman
Adapted by Ernest Kinoy.
Director: Jack Kuney

First broadcast on NBC Radio in the USA in 1950.
