Paul Daneman stars in a full-cast radio dramatisation of H.G. Well's seminal sci-fi classic. When a Martian spacecraft crash-lands near Woking, mankind is terrorised by aliens in tall, armoured capsules that stalk the countryside on three legs. The frightening machines wreak havoc on London and the Southern Counties with their heat-rays, and survivors are driven underground.Yet it all began in the calm of an observatory... While scanning the heavens, scientist John Nicholson sees a shower of meteorites heading towards Earth. But what he is witnessing is, in fact, the beginnings of an invasion. Soon, dense black smoke wipes out vast numbers of the population and Nicholson tells how he was plunged into a paralysing nightmare of stark terror and utter destruction.Martin Jarvis, Peter Sallis and Anthony Jackson also feature in this thrilling six-part, full-cast dramatisation of H.G. Well's classic novel.

Review By Mr Bramble - This is an absolute classic excellently acted with tremendous sound effects and chillingly delivered scenes of survival under palpable threat. Paul Daneman's performance as Nicholson the main character who describes the events leading up to the invasion and his experiences during the martian presence is superb, ranging from almost neutral narration of a story to incomprehension as to what is happening to his world and a sense of sheer terror.

This is such a good all round dramatisation of a great and original story that has had numerous incarnations and is highly recommended. (Posted on 29 March 2013)
