Brilliant. Thoroughly Enjoyed This
This is simply fantastic. A wonderful bite sized radio version of a fantastic Sci Fi masterpiece.
Everything about this play works. Brilliantly produced. Superbly acted and narrated. Gorgeous sounds here and there.
The play has everything emotionally, is also in places a little dry and humorous.
Put aside an evening and you will love this little play. 3 hours of intrigue and escapism in its finest effort.

War of the Worlds radio version
I really enjoyed hearing the story acted out. The descriptions enabled me to visualise what was happening. I know we have the American version but it would be nice to have the English version on film!
Listening enables me to do something else, such as paint or iron, even cook.

A BBC Classic
I first read the book when I was about 12 and had the attention span of a bored chimp. But the book gripped me in a way that got me told off many times for reading in bed when I should have been sleeping. This audio rendition from the BBC managed to do exactly the same. I switched on my ipod and didn't switch it off until I had listened to all 6 episodes. The actors were excellent in their reading of the script and although not the original time setting the play relayed the fear and excitement that I felt when I originally read the book. The only criticism I have is of the rather over melodramatic title sequences that I felt could have been edited out, this aside I would recommend that any fan of H.C.Wells or indeed War of the Worlds in its many different forms download this without hesitation, they will not be dissapointed.

A bit of creepy fun
Another interpretation of a rather over dense book, truer than many other retelling said but slightly over wordy, having the cast describe what's happening is a bit old hat but it despite some minor very minor flaws a good way to spend a couple of hours

Great vintage radio
A very interesting look back to a classic BBC radio production. I really enjoyed this in the 6 original episodes.

Great version
I listened to this as I was fed up with the awful version currently on BBC1. This Radio version is by far a better and more accurate adaption.
