Still one of the best things in WOTW popular culture, yet little known too. The acting, direction and the script are all excellent, and the fact that they were able to perfectly cram most of the novel in less than 2 hours is just enough evidence to prove that a faithful film adaptation of the source material could be very possible. The BBC seem to love this story. Not only is there this 1967 version, but they made a very recent radio dramatisation as well, along with plans for a 3 part miniseries on TV coming soon!
Jack Mellor Where can I find this recent radio dramatisation? I have a decent collection of adaptations of The War Of The Worlds. You should check the 1968 WKBW version and the one that was loaded with cast members from the many Star Trek series, not the least being Leonard Nimoy as Professor Richard Pierson. You may find it on Amazon on CD cuz the one that was on TH-cam was pulled.
Scientist John Nicholson (Paul Daneman) tells how he was plunged into a paralysing nightmare of stark terror, savage madness and utter destruction. Martin Jarvis, Peter Sallis, and Anthony Jackson also feature in this thrilling six-part dramatisation of HG Wells' book, first broadcast on Radio 4 in 1967
That was just fantastic! One of my all time favourite novels, film, audiobook and now broadcast. Loved every single minute and great acting. Thank you so much. 👏👏
This dramatization was a BBC Radio production. Has to be from the early 1970s. I first heard it over KAAY from Little Rock, AK, in the summer of 1972, during that station's "Beaker Theater" at 2AM weeknights (following "Beaker Street", a 3-hour program of underground rock). During Beaker Theater, they would replay odd sci-fi radio programs from the 50s as a way of adding to the spaced-out atmosphere of the music played during Beaker Street. Also, there was a budding nostalgia for old-time radio in the early 70s. Was absolutely fascinated by this. Superb acting (so typical of the English) and great sound effects. Those organ riffs add to the terror. One of the first things I recorded on a tape recorder. Being young, I first thought that it was the famous 1938 broadcast KAAY was replaying.
There's a very good complete reading of the novel here on TH-cam. th-cam.com/video/a2K8iJsXdLA/w-d-xo.html Though the book shows some signs of being written in haste, H.G. Wells was a master at building a scene steadily on a large canvas until it bursts into frenzied action. His descriptions of whole populations in flight from the Martians benefit from an aggregation of small details and a vivid depiction of the sudden collapse of social conventions. And the story gains in power from its then contemporary setting in late Victorian England at the apex of imperial grandeur. All their smug faith in their own innate superiority is vanquished in the twinkling of an eye. There are echoes throughout of violent European conquests of peoples here on earth, and many more incidents and reflections in the novel than are present in this fine BBC radio adaptation.
Only minor nitpicks are that the last few seconds are missing, and the martian war machines are WAY too noisy. Still a great audio drama that sticks to the source material.
If true that makes a nice call back to previous versions. They say man was less likely to believe in like on mars 10 or 30 years earlier. The Orson Wells verion was 29 years before, with the film a bit over 10 years previous

I’ve listened to the original Orsen Wells radio broadcast. Just finished watching the 2019, 3 Episode TV mini-series, & just commenced the other 2019, 8 Episode TV version. I’ve got the 1953 movie cued up to watch next, while deliberately avoiding the 2005 movie (which scored so atrociously on IMDB). I intend listening to this one tonight as my regular bedtime story. Can’t get enough of watching/listening to different interpretations of quality literature while contemplating what the author would’ve thought of each? Thanks for the upload!
well the Tom Cruise one is different and set in America. There is also a new BBC production. Not sure you will like that one either but worth a try must be made by a man as as usual they can't keep their thinking out of their trousers
Whilst not completely faithful, I can understand why they kept the soldier in the last act, otherwise it would just be a man talking to himself, They do it well too, because they have them debating on the practicalities of living underground, and they slowly realise together that their idea have a few setbacks
I like to play a game of trying to figure out what year a radio play was produced and/or what era it is set in (without Googling, of course). WOTW is perfect since it could be any time from late 1800s to present (or future). This has been tricky. The first few minutes left me thinking it was set in the original time period, 1897. I’m about halfway through now, and have formed a rough idea. The jets, helicopters, and mopeds would place it after WWII. There is no sense of the Cellular Era, so 1980s would be the upper bound. The natural dialogue (excellent writing by the way) would suggest it was written in the 1970s or later. The synthesizer should place the production somewhere between Jean Jacques Perry’s Moog albums starting in 1966 and ending when all pre-existing sci-fi sound effects were wiped out by Star Wars in 1977. Based on all that, I would say: set in 1970 and produced at that time. However, there are problems: there has been no mention of the media- no TV, no radio reporters, newspapers, even telephones haven’t played a role. That’s odd since most versions focus on how the news is communicated rather than the action itself (Wells, 1897, Welles, 1938). In addition, that era would almost certainly have referenced the contemporary Space Race or at least the existence of manned space flight. Maybe produced in 1970, but set in 1950s? Any guesses?
The Radiophonic Workshop was only using oscillators and tape loops and standard keyboard instruments in 1967.If you listen properly no synthesisers(Moog,Bulcha Ems) were used in creating the audio for this.
He told it differently, and there's no competition with that. This is a more faithful adaption of the narrative and it's themes, his was just a halloween mock broadcast for spooks. Both are great.

Well acted and reasonably well-adapted version of the Wells novel, but grating, screechy/overdone sound and music effects damage many parts (in my opinion). Frustrating, since so much of this is, otherwise, nicely done.
Someone should make a dramatization of a hurricane hitting Sesame Street complere with songs we have from 1980s being interrupted with news updates, with a piece of infotmation: "NONE OF WHICH IS ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE --- THIS IS A DRAMATIZATION". It would sound great on WROR.

I suspect that I stumbled upon the most recent radio adaptation, but it was flushed by the person who uploaded it.
Amazing. I feel I'm living it with the characters. Recommend this audio book to all.
too bad they don't do this on the radio any more
they do try radio 4 extra bbc,tons of audio plays
Haha they do. Idiot. On bbc radio 4. And 4 extra.
Radio 4 still does dramas but I don’t think they are as good these days.
The dramas on Radio 4 Extra are recycled Radio 4 and sometimes Home Service dramas
Scientist John Nicholson (Paul Daneman) tells how he was plunged into a paralysing nightmare of stark terror, savage madness and utter destruction. Martin Jarvis, Peter Sallis, and Anthony Jackson also feature in this thrilling six-part dramatisation of HG Wells' book, first broadcast on Radio 4 in 1967
The music might be annoying now, but back in 1967 it would have been terrifying. Electronic sound was still relatively new at the time.
Brilliant theater of the mind. People would love this as they love audio books
The best audio play based on wotw I have heard so far ,thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece with the rest of us audio lover's ❤

I love this series really, but that piano intro is making me deaf
Fantastic audio version. It would be perfect without the horrible screeching effects

Now the air is cold with early, chill, dark nights...the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: th-cam.com/video/Hex2ltykNTM/w-d-xo.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on TH-cam.
Well acted and reasonably well-adapted version of the Wells novel, but grating, screechy/overdone sound and music effects damage many parts (in my opinion). Frustrating, since so much of this is, otherwise, nicely done.

Someone should make a dramatization of a hurricane hitting Sesame Street complere with songs we have from 1980s being interrupted with news updates, with a piece of infotmation: "NONE OF WHICH IS ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE --- THIS IS A DRAMATIZATION". It would sound great on WROR.
