Journey Into Space (BBC) | Operation Luna (eps 3, 4, 5, 6) | Broadcast: 5, 12, 19, 26 October 1953
Episode 3: Jet is appointed the rocket's pilot, and he and Lemmy travel to Australia to meet Mitch at the secret Operation Luna base. On arrival, Mitch takes them to meet Smitty, the team's doctor, but he is found dead.
Episode 4: Doc Matthews replaces Smitty (who died from a coronary), and Lemmy is to be the radio operator. Mitch spots a plane flying around the launch site, suspects spies are active, and advances the launch date.
Episode 5: The rocket Luna sets off for the Moon with Jet, Doc, Mitch and Lemmy aboard. Radio contact with Earth is lost. Lemmy hears odd 'music' on the radio, before contact is resumed, and a tiny meteor hits Luna. No damage is sustained, but Lemmy hears the strange music again outside the ship and panics.
Episode 6: Luna is turned round for the Moon landing, and Lemmy hears the 'music' again during the final approach. The crew narrate their first moonwalk by radio to Earth on 22 October 1965. While exploring a crater, Jet unaccountably vanishes from sight.
Featuring: Wilfred Walter (Sir William Morgan); Robert Perceval (Mackenzie); Deryck Guyler (Time Traveller, "The Voice"); John Cazabon (Earth Control); Alan Keith (London correspondent); Duncan McIntyre (Jet's great uncle, Hector); Jessica Dunning
