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.
