Series Description:

ORBIT ONE ZERO was a science fiction radio drama, in six 30-minute
parts, presented by the British Broadcasting Corporation. The plot
involves the search for a source of gamma radiation in space and the
discovery of a mysterious cylinder on a remote island. The cylinder
quickly takes center stage but a connection to the radiation source
becomes important to the final resolution of the story.

Besides being a good listen, it's interesting to listen to a radio
drama produced outside the US, in a time when all US radio series
were disappearing from the airwaves. With the exception of overly
dramatic music bridges and slightly predictable theme, it's well
acted and produced.
