Earthsearch - James Follett
« on: September 25, 2015, 08:50:06 PM »
Has anyone been listening to this programme on Radio 4 Extra.  I think it was first broadcast back in the 90s - I seem to remember listening to it on World Service Radio when I was in Nepal.

Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

I've listened to both this and Earthsearch II on 4 Extra.
Not bad sci-fi.
I think I've read the books as well.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

I loved the books - never heard the radio version - will search it out.
