John Hynam Closed Planet

(4.3 stars; 9 reviews)

Mid-Week Theatre: Closed Planet Wed 24th Oct 1962, 20:31 on Light Programme by John Hynam Time: Somewhere in the future In the New Age interplanetary travel has become an everyday occurrence. and Time rather than Distance now sets the only limit on man's exploration of the universe. It seems, however, that Outer Space, like our own familiar world, also has secrets to hide, frontiers to guard, "security" zones to protect. Such a place is the "closed" planet, and only dire necessity may excuse the deliberate infringement of its astral neutrality by visitors from Earth.
