About this listen
London, England, 1952.
Meet the mercurial genius Professor Quanderhorn (James Fleet) - a maverick scientist with absolutely no moral compass. Join him and his rag-tag crew on their frontal-lobe-knotting escapades as they:
- Battle insane hybrid creatures: the Gorrirrel and the Squirrilla, to the death!
- Become Gods to a Stone Age tribe.
- Are engulfed in a Martian invasion of Earth.
- Escape shipwreck on the Moon in a spacecraft powered by anger.
- Evade multiple fiendish traps in the Alien Ziggurat of Death.
- Tussle with a Top Secret Parrot.
- Become terminally confused when they encounter their past selves in a Time accident....
Will our crew of Brave Boffins survive?
And what a crew they are: Q's part insect son, Troy, reputedly a 'major breakthrough in Artificial Stupidity' (Freddie Fox); eager young Test Pilot and recovering amnesiac, Brian Nylon (Ryan Sampson); brilliant scientist Dr. Gemini Janussen with her half-clockwork brain (Cassie Layton); captured Martian hostage Guuuurk (Kevin Eldon); sinister janitor Jenkins (John Sessions), and synthetic-voice-commentator-later-inserted-into-diving-suit, Dolores (Rachel Atkins).
Plug in your blue and red cardboard airpods and pair your tin foil router with the Droitwich transmitter array for an adventure beyond human understanding.

but feel really let down by the over 4 hours of interviews on the Audiobook getting to in to it and thinking yay another 5 hours to go then hours of the cast talking about it, some of the cast comments are really interesting but could have been done as well in 45 minutes.
Great Audiobook but....

This is the most seriously awesome hilarious thing ever on radio, beautifully cast, pace like the zoom of a rocket, you know a proper Fifties one with Fins 😄
Best moment out of a thousand laugh out loud and marvellously brain twisting moments:
One of the Musical Sheep has it's mind wiped, and moos, but not just any moo, a Moo that would have been Mooed by Noel Coward if he were just Noel Cow, or Noel Mind-Wiped Musical Sheep 😄
Do yourself a favour and listen to this 🙂
Just the most splendid thing 😀
