Orbit One Zero

ORBIT ONE ZERO was a science fiction radio drama, in six 30-minute parts, presented by the British Broadcasting Corporation. The plot involves the search for a source of gamma radiation in space and the discovery of a mysterious cylinder on a remote island. The cylinder quickly takes center stage but a connection to the radiation source becomes important to the final resolution of the story. Besides being a good listen, it's interesting to listen to a radio drama produced outside the US, in a time when all US radio series were disappearing from the airwaves. With the exception of overly dramatic music bridges and slightly predictable theme, it's well acted and produced.

Orbit One Zero is a BBC Radio science fiction programme written by Peter Elliott Hayes, and starring Felix Felton. A single series consisting of six episodes was produced which aired between 21 April 1961 and 26 May 1961.
