The First Men in the Moon runs for approximately 2 hours. They are joined by Chloe Pirrie, Alan Cox and David Horovitch, all meeting the expected high standards set up in the first of Big Finish’s HG Wells retrospectives.Įxtras on this two-disc set include Doggart’s music suite and cast interviews. Nigel Planer, most famous for playing Neil in the cult comedy The Young Ones is Professor Cavor, with Gethin Anthony from TV’s Game of Thrones as Mr Bedford. The two leads are names of note and both give performances that are believable and sympathetic. Even before their journey to the moon, the brief set up of their meeting and research is intriguing. The sound design and music by Peter Doggart is stunning, with the effects conjuring cyberpunk images of impossible and imaginative inventions and landscapes.Īlthough told retrospectively by Bedford, the story is both fascinating and thrilling.
