"The Outer Limit" • FRANK LOVEJOY • Classic Radio Sci-fi from ESCAPE! • [remastered audio]

Back in the 1950's test flights into the upper atmosphere were just beginning. This unusual story is about a test pilot (Frank Lovejoy) that spots a spacecraft . . . but the spacecraft also spots him! Listen to find out what the alien craft intends to do. This one aired on Feb. 7,1950. For a treat, listen to my Suspense upload of this same story starring WILLIAM HOLDEN.

Love old time radio, 30's 40's 50's......thanks!!!!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

1956lakota Love your icon - thanks for tuning in!

[@enriquesanchez2001]

OUTSTANDING: This storyline/premise was used a few times after this broadcast on various tv shows. Just fascinating!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Enrique Sanchez Yes. Many of the most popular stories were done on other radio series and/or TV. There's even a Suspense radio version of this story with William Holden. Alfred Hithcock Presents did over a dozen stories from Suspense. Thanks for your comments.

[@enriquesanchez2001]

Thank you- it's a story that does not get stale!

[@joekeen60]

The Bill Holden episode popped up along with this version. Prefer Lovejoy version as his voice was more intense.

[@lopezcarmen2901]

Loved this! Laying on my back relaxing listening to this audio. So relaxing ❤

[@tommymcweedface229]

This is some good stuff! Thanks to whoever put this on! Some british stuff would be cool. But great as is!

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Thanks! I'm the guy doing this channel. I upload only the best sound quality for these great shows. So far I have over 900 uploads. Try to read the description for each upload, as you just might find something interesting! I probably won't be uploading BBC stuff, but don't worry - over 100,000 Classic Radio programs survive today! Thanks for listening to my uploads and thanks for commenting! - Charlie

Frank Lovejoy does a great job in this episode as was always the case. We lost Frank Lovejoy way too soon.
"NIGHTBEAT" was one of the best detective shows of the last days during the Golden Age of Radio in which he played the lead role.
He was truly a great talent both in radio, television and film.
Frank Lovejoy was married to Joan Banks another one of the great radio actors heard often in many radio shows, oftentimes heard together in the same show.
Does anyone recognize the actor who plays the part of Mr. Hargrove in this episode? I recognize the voice from many other shows but can't determine who he is.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

I, too, like "Nightbeat." Lovejoy is my wife's favorite voice actor.

[@melbea03]

Sounds like Harry Bartell to me

[@richardmcleod5967]

@@melbea03 Harry Bartell certainly did many radio shows and this very well could be him. It is amazing how so many of these actors could change their voices to meet the part they were playing.

[@braininavatnow9197]

I had forgotten about Nightbeat. You're correct,. It was good. Used to be on KNX drama hour during the 80's and 90's.

[@TheBobbymcd]

'silence, nothing at all' except him shouting Oh Brother at the top of his voice haha

[@keithm1138]

The announcer is Paul Frees. Voice of Boris Badenov/Ludvig Von Drake, among many others.

[@SuspenseESCAPEremastered]

Check out my Paul Frees episode playlist! Go to my channel and scroll down thru the playlists - He had major roles in over 2 dozen episodes!

[@johnriselvato5838]

This sounds more like a episode of One Step Beyond. A true store, that can’t be proved true or false. Believe it or not.

[@ianmangham4570]

AWESOME

[@akeel_1701]

Guardians of The Galaxy? :p

[@EnvisionerWill]

They're obviously outranked by the Guardians of the Universe who run the Green Lantern Corps.

[@EnvisionerWill]

Pretty good, but X Minus One did it better a decade or so later.
