A brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of HG Wells' famous history of the brutal Martian invasion of Earth. When weird explosions are found on the surface of Mars, enthusiasm spreads among the list of medical community. Surrey astronomer Ogilvy invites his friend Robert to the observatory to witness the turbulence on the red globe. Ten times later, Ogilvy discovers a weird projectile on Horsell Common - with something inside. Robert rushes to see the art, and is present when Martians emerge and flip their heating rays on the local people, who are waving white flags. It's the beginning of a merciless invasion.... As Robert flees searching for safety, along with a young curate, young soldier Billy encounters the chaos occurring in London. As the Martians seize control, transforming the scenery and decimating the populace, is this the end for the human race? Wells' terrifying research fiction tale, first released in 1898, is both a reflection of Victorian fears of a approaching apocalypse and a critique of English imperialism. This enthralling dramatisation asks how humankind would fare if colonised by way of a vastly superior technological invader. It stars Blake Ritson as Robert, with Samuel James as Billy and Carl Prekopp as the Curate.
