Take Me to Your Leader
The crew realise that Mars Twenty may not be the first manned spaceship to land on the red planet after all. Read by Peter Capaldi.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik we commissioned Nick Walker to write the sci-fi adventure 'The First King Of Mars'. Now in five thrilling action-packed episodes we continue the story where it left off.
Our intrepid crew fear that they are not alone on the Red Planet.
