I have downloaded from the original source, tidied it up and added the art work.

    I generally liked this adaptation fairly well until the last episode.  To me it seemed as though they had originally intended making it as a 6-episode serial, then at the last moment they had to fit it into 5 episodes instead.   The conclusion seems rushed and will disappoint those who have read the novel (one of my two favorite John Wyndham stories).

    A pity, it could have been a real landmark in SF radio.

    Thanks man, check and see if it is the same.  If so I will gladly delete mine.  -----------------------------  R

      I couldn't get your link to work Rick, then couldn't see it, I'm pretty sure its the same version

      Like I said I am trying out A drive, very cheap storage and it worked great the day before.  I got a notice shortly after you said it didn't work that they were down maintenance and needed upgrades for 24 hours. I just deleted it because I was finally sleepy.  I am disabled and pain and sleep don't mix well so I wasn't going to mess with it and lose the urge to sleep. LOL  Anyways, I will erase mine.  I welcome any who will post.  Thank You.  We seem to have a lot of occasional posters and I love it when someone spontaneously picks up the ball and runs with it.  Consider mine deleted  and again you are very welcome here. 

      Oh, the search for the private groups has been out for 3 weeks so it's all search by hand for awhile until they can do a work around.  Looking through the archives isn't bad since 99% of the links are active.  All of mine are I know and all the early ones since we were able to post directly here then.  Enjoy yours and my site.  -------------------------------------  R

      I know the feeling my friend, I'm in a similar boat with disability & pain, its part of the reason I've not been around so much.
      I hope your pain eases soon ;) Keep up the good work ;)

      I find that if I can keep my mind busy helping others by posting a lot I ease my pain some just by my mind being somewhere else.  Hope yours feels better soon.  ---------------------  R

      May both of you have good evenings (pain free and groovy mellow)  and thank you for all the shares.

      ;-)
