Space is a project that dates back to about 1987, where..in my spare time at school (spare time being whenever I could get away with it!) I would either sit around

at break time listening to tapes of The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (the BBC Radio play), a near constant diet of Pink Floyd albums, or,

occasionally try to write my own stories that followed along the lines of Star Trek.

My story-writing attempts failed miserably, and by 1991 my story-writing antics had all but stopped completely, and other than polishing up what I’d done in

Recent years when I aquired my first PC, nothing came of any of it…and the project ended up by being a personal hobby – which indeed it still is.

Then, one day, I hit upon the idea of attempting to transpose them to Radio Play format.

This was rather difficult to do (considering I only had one friend, and the stories contained a number of different characters) and a month or two of

Preparation followed while I salvaged some ideas from the doomed stories of recent years, and attempted to convert them and and the storyline into

Something that would work with only two characters.

In July on 1995, my good friend Roland and I made our first attempt at recording the Radio Series properly, using nothing but a 486 PC with only 8Mb of

Memory, running at a mere 25Mhz – kitted out with a basic, budget 16Bit Soundblaster Clone soundcard.

The results were pretty professional sounded (despite the VERY limited equipment and sound editing software we had), and the recording sessions took

Endless amounts of time to record, RE-record, edit and mix due to the slow machine – however, as the years passed, I started to write NEW material

Specifically for the radio series, rather than converting the old crap from the stories…and things started to improve dramatically.

The actual “Series” of Space – The Radio Series finally drew to a close in the Summer of 1998, after the actual story of the two main characters drew to a

Close – Eight Series with Three Episodes in each.

The story itself never seems to die however…..and occasionally, two-part Spin-Off stories appear whenever I get bored and decide to do some writing, as

do the odd collections of “Outtakes” salvaged from recording sessions – provided light (and somewhat embarrasing) relief from the actual story!
