Black Museum was 1951 crime drama series that featured Orson Welles as the narrator. The show’s format basically involved Welles picking up murder artifacts stored in the Black Museum, and then telling the horrendous story behind it. The idea for the show was derived from London’s Crime Museum, which holds a large collection of murder and other crime artifacts. Since the crime museum was never really available to the public, through Black Museum, nevertheless, the listeners were able to get a glimpse on what can be found inside the said museum. Each episode of Black Museum was based on real crime stories. The show was initially thought to be produced by BBC, although it was later found out that it first aired on Radio Luxembourg before it was heard in English-speaking nations.

Orbiter X is a fascinating science fiction radio series about an imaginary space station. Using the then current scientific research at the time (1959), the fictional space station in Orbiter X was created with the research of scientists like Dr. Wernher von Braun. It is a interesting series because much of the science fiction of Orbiter X has become science fact including the creation of the real International Space station. Everything in the series was kept in the "realm of possibility" and therefore the writers of the show attempted to make it as authentic as possible. Series writer B.D Chapman was even concerned that a space station would be built before the series was finished making it appear outdated. The story begins with the fictional space workers from the Commonwealth Space Project thousands of miles about the earth's surface to create the space station 'Orbiter X'. It is a six hour serial with about the space pioneers and their struggle to conquer humankind's final frontier, space.

Journey Into Space is a BBC Radio science fiction program, written by BBC producer Charles Chilton. It was the last radio program in the UK to attract a bigger evening audience than television. Originally, four series were produced (the fourth being a remake of the first), which went on to be translated into 17 languages (including Hindustani, Turkish and Dutch) and broadcast worldwide (including the United States, New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands). Chilton went on to write three best-selling novels and several comic strip stories, based upon the radio series. The first series was created in 1953, soon after Riders of the Range (a popular Western, also written by Chilton) ended its six seasons on the BBC Light Program. Michael Standing, then Head of the BBC Variety Department, asked Chilton if he could write a sci-fi program, and Journey to the Moon (later known as Operation Luna) was the result. Each half-hour episode would usually end with a dramatic cliffhanger, to increase the audience's incentive to tune in to the next episode. The original magnetic recordings of the show were erased shortly after broadcast, and for several decades, it was believed that no recordings of the show still survived. However, in 1986, a set of misfiled Transcription Service discs (produced for sale to overseas radio stations) were discovered, containing complete copies of the three original series (more accurately, the surviving version of the first season is a cut-down remake of the original, produced for the Transcription Service during the 1950's).
