Journey Into Space is a British radio sci-fi programme that was the last UK radio show to attract a larger evening audience than television. Created by BBC producer Charles Chilton, the series was translated into 17 different languages and broadcast around the world. Known for its dramatic cliffhangers, the premise of this captivating show involves space exploration, with various series revolving around journeys to different planets.

The radio show ran from 1953 to 1958, with a total of 72 episodes in four series. It aired on the BBC Light Programme and is currently syndicated on BBC Radio 4 Extra. The original recordings were thought to be lost, but in 1986, a set of misfiled Transcription Service discs was discovered, allowing the BBC to re-broadcast the show in the late 1980s and release copies on audio cassette, CD, and internet download. Notable members of the cast included Andrew Faulds, Guy Kingsley Poynter, Bruce Beeby, Don Sharp, David Williams, and David Kossoff, among others.
