Aliens In The Mind

Classic Radio Sci-Fi

By: Robert Holmes

Narrated by: Full Cast, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price

On a remote Scottish island, Doctors Curtis Lark and John Cornelius are convinced that the violent death of their friend Dr Hugh Dexter was no accident... Dexter's research notes reveal that he was investigating an island sickness affecting many of the inhabitants, turning them into zombies blindly obeying orders from an unknown source. The key to the mystery seems to be an apparently telepathic, but simple-minded, local girl, Flora. Lark and Cornelius want to take her to London to find out more - but is she the only telepath to have left the island? And who is controlling them? Film horror legends Peter Cushing and Vincent Price play Lark and Cornelius in this six-part series, which also features Richard Hurndall (Blake's 7 and Doctor Who) among the cast. Written by Rene Basilico, it is based on a story by 1970s Doctor Who script editor Robert Holmes.©2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd; (P)2006 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Critic reviews

Cushing is the perfect gentleman investigator, while Price could be reading a tax return and it would still be gripping. It might be old but this screams quality, just as loudly as that howling wind. (Jane Anderson)

Great fun to have Cushing and Price together!

A classic BBC Radio play starring Peter Cushing and Vincent Price as two Doctors investigating a group of mutants on a distant British island.
