Dan Dare and his crew finally return to Earth. Landing in central London, they find the city deserted - or that's how it seems at first. But soon Dare faces an army of ruthless machines, robots who have conquered the planet and placed the surviving humans in slave camps. The robots are too powerful and too numerous to be resisted, and their invasion is complete. With limited resources, Dare, Digby and Peabody face their greatest challenge yet - to liberate planet Earth....

Starring Michael Rennie and Jean Peters - An alien space craft, lands on Earth just after the Second World War, and in the new era of history. A mighty robot emerges from the craft, to bring an important message from the alien 'Klaatu'. Listen how, after in initially hostile reception, he tries to bring his message to the people of Earth! One of the classic Radio Theatre Productions you will want to listen to over and over again!

Brilliant test pilot Dan Dare is chosen to fly the Anastasia - a new experimental spacecraft - on its maiden voyage to Venus. This isn't exploration - it is to make first contact with a mysterious civilisation that has sent technological secrets as a goodwill gesture. However, what Dan, Digby and Professor Peabody find on Venus isn't goodwill but a terrifyingly intelligent, coldhearted ruler, the Mekon. A creature destined to become Dan Dare's nemesis - and Earth's greatest threat.

Venna’s Planet is the story of Venna 8632, a strong-willed, highly skilled, soldier-drilled woman on a mission in outer space, where gravity keeps you perky and the future appears to be rather retro.

Unable to return to Earth, Dan Dare and the crew of the Anastasia head to the desolate planet Mars, where Dan's estranged Uncle Ivor is part of a research team working on a top-secret archaeological dig. But when they find the base wrecked and the scientists missing, Dare, Digby and Professor Peabody soon discover that the Red Planet is not nearly as dead as everyone thought, and that Ivor's expedition has woken an army of deadly insect-creatures who threaten to swarm and engulf the Earth....

In this episode, Smith and the Brigadier return to the Munchausen’s ancestral seat. This haunted castle has more than a few surprises within its walls, including an interstellar kidnapping, a wrestle with a nuclear weapon and the introduction of the Brigadier’s brother, who just happens to be afraid of daylight.... 

Missing for over 40 years, gifted scientist Amanda Higgs (Sioned Jones) mysteriously reappears, revealing her invention from the past: a device designed to solve the world’s energy problems. But the UK now is an unfamiliar, dangerous and fragmented country controlled by the Forman Corporation. Amanda’s only hope for survival is by confronting her controversial past. But who can she trust before it’s too late?

Drugged and tied up in the Interrogatron, Venna is horrified to learn the true origin of the Krogs and the Countess’ role in their creation. Clayton and Suhl find themselves imprisoned together in a storeroom - but the ever-resourceful Suhl has an escape plan in mind....

Scrambled to engage enemy Krog ships, Venna and Shelly give chase, but when Shelly gets into difficulty Venna is prevented from saving her by commander and former lover Countess Galo. When forced to crash land on a planet called Paradise, Venna discovers it’s anything but....

Venna runs into an old flame who’s now unrecognisable...and speaking of running, the various interlopers are doing quite a lot of it. Clayton and Suhl decide the safest place is back where they started, and Venna and Geezur realise there are significant gains to be had by joining forces.

In a desperate attempt to cover his mistake, Geezur plans to return Suhl to where he found her before he’s discovered, but the Krog admin is causing way more problems than his prisoner. Clayton and Venna’s situation is no better, being on the receiving end of some of the Countess’ painful and unpleasant experiments.

The Countess’ machinations continue with her defrosting a notorious killer, Knullius - who just happens to be the love of Jylda’s life. Meanwhile, under attack yet again from natives unhappy about a badly parked spaceship in their jungle, Venna and her friends are forced to fight. Outnumbered and outgunned, will they all make it out alive?

 Dortha and Clyg prepare to spring the Countess’ trap with Shelly as bait; meanwhile Zoltan finds himself in a compromising position. Back on the planet’s surface, whilst battling hostile jungle and swamp monsters, Venna is receiving painful psychic communications from Shelly - she’s alive! But how will Venna get to Prime City so she can rescue her?

Livid at Venna’s escape, the Countess tries another tack involving Controller Zoltan and the ‘fresh-off-ice’ recruit Marla. Aboard a stolen droner it’s not exactly plain sailing, and another bumpy landing is imminent - Clayton can help, but can he get over his Krog prejudices in time? 

Another day, another crashed spaceship. Venna, Suhl, Geezur and Clayton crawl out of the wreckage into the jungle and a rather sticky encounter. On Suntreader, the Countess continues to manipulate Zoltan and prepares the ground for a new trap to ensnare Venna using the particularly unpleasant psychic skills of Jylda and Grust....

Venna encounters a swamp monster that inconveniently eats her clothes; she then turns to a sprightly milkbug herder named Suhl for some much-needed help. Meanwhile, two Krogs - Geezur and Blok - are dispatched to capture the downed Venna. To a Krog, however, one human looks very much like another....

Venna gives chase in an effort to rescue the captured Suhl, but instead ends up right where the Countess wants her - just in time for her to arrive with Clayton, her engineer and budding inventor. Yet unknown to Clayton, the Countess has plans for him too.... 

In this episode, a slow escape in a hot-air balloon makes the Brigadier nostalgic for his time in America; stories of rodeo clowns and super-human cyborgs spill from his past. But all this time travel is beginning to erase Munchausen's memory, and Smith fears for her friend’s sanity. Perhaps the only cure is through the help of the truly terrifying tech-guru Logan Snuff.... 

In 1930s New York, the hot sensation of the cabaret circuit is urbane illusionist Art Hardwicke, whose stage name - Supermind - hints at his real-life mentalist powers. In this episode, there is a rescue in the nick of time, a movie about Art’s life is announced and the Professor - exposed as a Nazi mastermind - attempts to escape via Panama.
